Does Romo go in the RoH?

[USMarineVet]

Just wanted to make sure you got it now let's move on.

Yeah. Let's.

 

[KJJ]

Right. I haven't forgotten about the fumbled snap, but I don't think about it anymore either. People continue to judge him on a play that isn't even QB related. Now he needs a Super Bowl to exonerate himself and finally have credibility?

It's nonsense.

I truly believe Tony will get his Super Bowl. But even if he doesn't, it shouldn't take away from his legacy with this team over the past decade. Truly deserving of the ROH.

He's judged on that play in a role he performed flawlessly until that moment which put into question his ability to play under pressure in big games. He needs a SB win to overcome the stigma that's plagued him.

That's your opinion. Not mine. And I'm sure not a whole lot of other folks. You can try to impose your will on the subject all you like. But it still doesn't change that fact that we all have our opinions and are entitled to them. You have yours. Let me have mine. And let everyone else have theirs.

Dude that's a loaded statement. You're saying nobody has been inductee lately without a superbowl. Well we haven't won one in 20 years, so in that time who on our team has been good enough of a player to deserve to be in the roh? That's a catch 22. We have had more bad years than good years in that time frame and yet Romo has been a top qb every year he's been a starter, and there is no way in hell he is left out of the ROH whether he wins a ring or not.

It's been 39 years since a player has been added to the ROH that didn't contribute to a SB win. There's players out there worthy of the ROH like Harvey Martin and Daren Woodson who were part of SB wins. There's a whole list of names that come up for the ROH. If some of you think Romo will be added to the ROH without a SB win that's fine with me. I'm tired of arguing it. We'll be going through the same thing next year when the next Romo in the ROH thread gets posted.

You can have your opinion I'm not stopping you and I don't care what a bunch of other biased FANS here think. Now let's move on!

As I said earlier , there are players that produced big in the playoffs and Super Bowls. The younger posters on this board don't understand the differences between Romo, Staubach and Aikman. Romo hasn't had the success or leadership to put him on the same level as the other two. Stats are not the biggest thing to consider when looking at a player for ROH. I will say that Romo has a chance to change the perception of himself in the next couple of years though. Considering his accomplishments right now, I don't think he should be in the ROH.

Based on his accomplishments and being Undrafted HOF!!!!!

 

[jobberone]

Romo goes in the ROH. My guess is he goes to the HOF if he continues to play well although that is decidedly undecided.

 

[YosemiteSam]

I would guess there's been at least two dozen threads on this and the answer is no unless he wins multiple championships.

Ring Of Honor members without championships. So, I'm going to call bull****.

The ROH under Jerry has been about adding players that helped the Cowboys win SB's. Haley would have never gotten in had Jerry not seen him as a major contributor to the Cowboys 3 SB wins of the 90's.

I don't understand this. Who is there that Jerry should have or could have put in that wasn't a part of a SB winning team? Jerry has not yet had the opportunity to put in a truly great player into the RoH that also wasn't a part of a Superbowl winning team. That player hasn't existed yet in the Jerry Jones era. The opportunity won't exist until Romo, Witten and Ware retire if none of them win a Superbowl with the Cowboys. It is not as if Player X was with Dallas after 1995, played at a great level for 10 years, is retire and is now sitting there not getting put into the RoH.

The incredible play before the fumbled snap should have never been overturn. The evidence camera view was indecisive
Romo is in my ROH

He's judged on that play in a role he performed flawlessly until that moment which put into question his ability to play under pressure in big games. He needs a SB win to overcome the stigma that's plagued him.

[Fletch]

Not without a SB.

if it was all about records then the RoH would be filled with ppl

I believe that Jerry will make an exception regarding Romo, considering how long it took for Jerry and Co. to finally build an actual team around Tony. This isn't even an argument. You can bank on Romo getting into the RoH, Super Bowl or not. To think otherwise is foolish and idiotic.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

considering they seldom to that to an active player, i choose to worry about it when it matters.

in 5-10 years.

Exactly.

It helps to have seen his entire career before we worry about that.

I will say this. If they manage to get a Superbowl with him at QB then it's a done deal that he'll be in the ROH when he's done.

 

[ufcrules1]

Jerry is in love with Romo so he will put him in the ROH. It's as simple as that. The same can't be said about the HOF. He will have to earn that. He isn't close to being worthy yet.

 

[tyke1doe]

I would guess there's been at least two dozen threads on this and the answer is no unless he wins multiple championships.

I would amend that to say if he wins one championship.

 

[tyke1doe]

Right. I haven't forgotten about the fumbled snap, but I don't think about it anymore either. People continue to judge him on a play that isn't even QB related.

I've been saying this from Day 1. And the Seahawks PURPOSELY imported slick balls for that play.

 

[Sage3030]

Gotta admit, Romo has come a long way.

Goes from unheralded, undrafted free agent, third string guy to shattering pretty much every Cowboys QB record there is and discussions are brought up about ROH and HOF.

If he wasn't a Cowboy, they would be talking how he is better than Kurt Warner ever was and that they should go ahead and put his bust in Canton today.

 

[jnday]

Based on his accomplishments and being Undrafted HOF!!!!!

His draft position should not have anything to do with it. Other than stats, he asn't accomplished anything except for a couple of playoff wins. I think he can improve his chances in the next couple of years if he leads his team to a Super Bowl. His chances are better than some due to his close relationship with Jerry. There are a few players that will not ever make it because they played for the team before Jerry bought it and that is not fair to them.

Produced in playoffs and Super Bowls? If you are looking at the QB position objectively about how well that position by itself is played away from having a good defense among other things, Romo ranks excellent compared to his peers. You guys act like Staubach and Aikman were these immortal Gods who threw to themselves and played safety and cornerback and pass rushed and everything else. Those dudes almost never had defenses outside of the top 10. Romo almost never has defenses inside the top 10. All the leadership in the world doesn't help an abysmal pass rush not be able to reach the QB. It doesn't help the corners not get toasted. A QB can only do so much and Romo has done beyond enough to end up in the ROH
