Romo was enough to elevate a 4 Win team to 8-8 but unable to take us further on the bigger stages . He provided hope when there was little. Good enough to take us to the brink and keep butts in the seats. In the end not enough. He was part of that disappointing era.Romo was BY FAR good enough. Not even a a question.
It just happens to be a team game, and even then, sometimes the breaks have to fall right.
He's gone now, so whatever.....
You either have super bowl titles under your name or you are JAG.
How about this one, this should end it. Is Tony Romo a HOFer? My answer is *** NO!
Dumbarse - UHHHH HOW MANY NFL RECORDS HAS HE BROKEN?

Dumbarse - NFL RECORDS DONT MATTER ........... I OWNIN YOU!
Ahh, you look cute in that gif
Nothing personal, but it's getting more and more common around here for fans to suggest their point of view based on eliminating plays or games to support their narrative.
I believe so, too.That is actually an excellent question often avoided or indirectly addressed. In my opinion, it was highly likely he would have moved on.
The front office had made it crystal clear it preferred going in a new direction at the position. Hindsight suggests CBS would have recruited him regardless.
Romo would have been in the position of both having a former fully supportive front office seeking his replacement sooner than later and a top network broadcaster offer sitting on a silver platter. I believe he would have retired no matter if he had not finished the regular season due to another injury or had gotten benched in favor of Prescott after poor performance, led the team perhaps as far as the title game, or helped win the whole darn thing.
Doubt that. Stats are a way to analyze, and break down past results so as to get a feel for possible future results. That's what people who quote stats are doing. But I'm sure they will take a win any way they can get it, it's just that they want winning streaks and winning seasons so they, rightfully, break down numbers so as to know what they may expect.There are a lot of fans who value stats as much or more than winning.
Typical Romo defense. And you like to throw around how people don't know football. The irony. His first year he started went to the playoffs. Plenty of other years. 2014 was one of the best teams. Probably because he wasn't throwing as much. He had a good enough team in 2007 & 2009. There's 4. The teams weren't good enough to go the playoffs, but we still went? Huh?Matt Ryan (Almost got a ring), Philip Rivers, Cam Newton, etc. are all good enough to get a ring. A lot of crap goes down within a game and you only get one shot to a win the championship you're lucky to even get to. It's not like basketball or baseball.
The biggest issue we had with Romo is that we didn't even have good enough teams to get to the playoffs; especially with our offensive line rebuild from 2010-2014.
Not in your wildest dreams. He's JAG
Pretty spot on.Romo needed things to be just right in order to maximize his talent

I would not say so. When I watched Tony Romo play, I never thought of him as a Hall of Famer. Romo always had throwing talent, but he played his best football when he had a potent running game and stout pass protection. When he did not have those luxuries, Romo was an inconsistent decision maker as a QB.
He was good -- not great -- as a QB. And many of the Cowboys teams he led were underwhelming. A good, solid player whose talent was largely underappreciated. But not a Hall of Famer.
When you've been to the Super Bowl ( Dan Marino) and you've broken NFL records, you're special. Has Romo done any of those things?
You are an expert at changing your argument once it has been lost! Congrats - unique ability!

Romo was a fine quarterback, but not transcendent

Tony Romo was a great story, going from undrafted free agent to NFL star. I would stop short, however, of calling him a Hall of Fame quarterback. He was great, but not spectacular. He was like a quarterback version of the Toyota Corolla. Very serviceable. Pretty efficient. Nobody is ever going to think it was the best car ever. But pretty good.
Unfortunately for Romo, he's inevitably going to be compared to some of the great quarterbacks not only in NFL history, but Cowboys history. Maybe it's a little unfair, but that's football.
