Cowboys Zone tells me he’s a top 5 quarterback along the likes of SUPERBOWL winners like Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Ben, and Manning.

Will the all time great Romo be in the hall of fame?

Or is he just Andy Dalton 2.0 a career loser?

Only if the HOF moves to Walmart in Canton then he could be a greeter. Both Mannings and might want to add Phil Rivers in there too. Romo's limitations, 2 playoff wins, a short career and a bunch of sure HOF'ers in front of him.

Dalton had way more help than Romo in his career. Romo is the Iverson of the Nfl. He had a average or below average defense for most of his year. He only had a run game for one year. The line got him broken up. They finally addressed running back and o-line and he only got to enjoy the line for one year. He got hurt right before Zeke. He would've been in Bree's Rivers, and Ben's class if he got to play three years with Zeke and our line(when healthy).

 

[Corso]

Yes, yes it is...

Eli Manning is a mediocre QB that will get in because he made two of the most memorable throws in Super Bowl history.

It’s the Hall of Fame, not Hall of Stats.

Pretending voters will simply overlook two of most famous throws in Super Bowl history IS ridiculous and you all will be crying when he gets that gold jacket.

Just accept it and don’t look like a fool.

Uh... okay.
Edit... wait.

Did I misread all this?
I thought you were saying Romo is a shoe-in and it's ridiculous otherwise.
You're saying Eli?

Oh! That I agree. He's going in.

Sorry!!!

Pro Football Hall of Fame? No

Cowboys Ring of Honor? Yes

 

[HungryLion]

It’s quite amazing.

The same GM that put zero talent around Romo and have him diddly squat to work with, now has built a team that would be odds on favorites to win the super bowl if it weren’t for Dak.

Amazing.

Because he booted Romo to the curb for Dak. He’s now fully invested in that not being a foolish mistake.

LOL bad argument is bad.

1. Rivers hasn’t accomplished ANYTHING that puts him above Romo. “Playoff appearances” do not factor into the vote. Stop with the BS.

2. Passing yards, unless they are state breaking, do not factor into the HOF today due to the passing league

So what has Rivers done that Romo didn’t that qualifies him for the HOF? About all you got is longevity, but Rivers is not Favre or Brady.

Romo and Rivers are side by side comparisons. A lot of talent, top 10 guys who had some top 3-5 seasons but nothing to show for it when it comes to rings.

If Rivers gets in, it not only helps Romo, it brings down the entire qualification for the HOF.

Also “Eli doesn’t belong” - he is arguably the most qualified of any of those QBs to make the HOF. LOL

First of all, who said anything about playoff appearances?

So your argument is, "Romo and Rivers are the same as long as we ignore the ways in which they're not the same." Assuming the Chargers don't make it to the SB while he's there, Rivers's path to the HoF is entirely the longevity argument: he was a very good QB for a very long time. That's all he has. Will that be enough? Who knows? But that's his case. And Romo doesn't even have that case. Personally, I don't think Rivers will make it (unless he makes it to the SB or plays another 5+ years). But Rivers has a stronger case than Romo does, like it or not.

Eli doesn't belong because he's simply not a great QB and never has been. Yes, he has two SB rings, and that may get him voted in because the voters are idiots, but he doesn't deserve it. You said yourself in another post that he's a mediocre QB, so I'm not sure what the debate is here. (And by the way, it's called the Hall of Fame because the intent is to confer fame on those who deserve it, not to acknowledge the already famous. That's a weird but common misconception.)

You didn’t pick up on the sarcasm of my post.

HELL YES!!!!!!!!! HE'S A HALL OF FAMER!!!!!

 

[Little Jr]

People say he had hall of fame numbers but I don't think he does. He qbr is the only hof number he has imo.

You have to look at qbs he played with in his era. Manning, Manning, Ben, Breese, Favre, Rodgers. They all have better numbers and all have rings and play off wins.

Then you add guys like rivers, Stafford and even Flacco who are still playing that have better numbers and better or not much worst play-off success especially Flacco. Lol

He 32nd in yds and right behind him at 33, Alex Smith. Guys like Cousin's and Tannhel will pass him in about 4 years .

He was a good qb for us that I enjoyed watching but he's not a HOF. His numbers don't say HOF and his play off success damn sure doesn't say HOF.

And I am telling you everything that applies to Rivers means nothing in the HOF voting

Longevity will not get him in - Rivers will need a ring or a couple MVP votes.

> Romo doesn’t even have that

Romo was a top 10 QB for 9 seasons, that is a very long time for any position to have a peak that lasts that long...

Media and voting inconsistency, if Rivers gets in, will not be due to longevity nor will voters be able to make a valid argument.

As for Eli Manning, as stated before, this is not a “Hall of Stats” - it’s the Hall of Fame - Manning has played in a big market, got a wildcard team to the playoffs, helped beat Romo, Favre, and an undefeated team led by Brady by making the most famous Super Bowl throw in history. He then followed it up a few years later by making. ANOTHER spectacular throw to Manningham and got himself two Super Bowl MVPs

He is easily the most qualified of the players named to get into the HOF. Hell, he even has the “longevity” - which is exactly why he is top 10 in passing yards along side Rivers and Big Ben...

 

[Little Jr]

Personally, I think the HOF has become to easy to get in. I think a lot it has to do with the popularity of it and the ratings it gets for nfl network and espn.

From 1963- 2005 there were multiple times only 5 went on and 2 Times only 3 went in. I don't think it's a coincidence that nfl network came in existence in 2004 and started televising the HOF. Since then no less than 6 have gone in and 7 have gone in quite a bit. Imagine them televising a HOF induction with only 3-4 players going in.

At one time one of the qualifications was, could you tell the story of the NFL without mentioning said player. Wasn't the only one and maybe not even the most important one but now it seems like it's not even a qualification. There are a lot lately I could tell the story and not even mention there name.

 

[JD_KaPow]

And I am telling you everything that applies to Rivers means nothing in the HOF voting

And you are wrong about that.

Romo was a top 10 QB for 9 seasons, that is a very long time for any position to have a peak that lasts that long

Romo started more than 6 games 8 times in his career (and in one of those, he only started 10), so he very clearly was not a top-10 QB for 9 seasons.

There are 27 HOF QBs. Three were primary starters for 8 or fewer seasons, and they're each unique in same way:
1. Kurt Warner. Extremely compelling storyline, peaked with 2 different teams, reached the SB 3 times.
2. Roger Staubach. Late start because of Navy service, 2 SB rings.
3. Bob Waterfield. Uh, who? Seriously, though, won NFL championships and set records as a kicker and punter as well.

The guys who didn't win championships are YA Tittle (13 years as primary starter), Dan Fouts (14), Warren Moon (15), Dan Marino (16) and Fran Tarkenton (18). That's the kind of longevity, at a minimum, that it takes to get in without a ring. Rivers is in that range (but he's missing some things that Fouts, Moon and Marino have going for them, so I think he has a ways to go). Romo isn't anywhere near it.

As for Eli Manning, as stated before, this is not a “Hall of Stats” - it’s the Hall of Fame - Manning has played in a big market, got a wildcard team to the playoffs, helped beat Romo, Favre, and an undefeated team led by Brady by making the most famous Super Bowl throw in history. He then followed it up a few years later by making. ANOTHER spectacular throw to Manningham and got himself two Super Bowl MVPs

He is easily the most qualified of the players named to get into the HOF. Hell, he even has the “longevity” - which is exactly why he is top 10 in passing yards along side Rivers and Big Ben...

As explained before, the Hall isn't there to acknowledge fame, it's there to confer fame. And he doesn't have the longevity in the sense of being a very good QB for a very long time. He was a mediocre QB for a very long time. There's a difference. He's top 10 in passing yards and TDs like those guys, but they're top 10 in yards/attempt and passer rating (he's nowhere near) and he's got 50+ more INTs. The closest HOFers to Eli's resume (meaning the worst) are probably Bob Griese and Terry Bradshaw, and they were both better than him.

Will he get in? Probably. Should he? Nope.

If Warren Moon is hall of fame then so is Tony Romo. I'm just going by the precedent set.

nah Warren Moon is literally head and shoulders above romo. despite being barred from the NFL for like 5 years for discrimination he still is much better than romo

 

[Chuck 54]

Zero chance. He is not Dan Marino.
He put up stats that are impressive, but he didn’t get his team to the playoffs much, and he wasn’t successful when he did. Great Cowboy, but not a Hall of Farmer.
He will probably get in the Ring of Honor without winning.

 

[Flamma]

Moon was one of my favorite QBs growing up. Romo reminded me a lot of him. They have similar stats.

 

[NumOneQB]

No. Not even close.

 

[Gator88]

Romo is almost certainly not going to be a hall of famer unless his amazing broadcasting ability boosts his chances. That said, he was definitely a better QB than QBs that are or will be in the hall of fame. At least Eli and Ben, as well as a few others in my opinion.
