Yes 18 play off games is less than 240 regular season games.
For crying out loud..

His Completion %, Y/A, TD %, and INT % are all worse. Those aren't dependent on number of games you play.

Good try though.

If Romo is a Hall of Famer, then Danny White should be one as well...Romo won like 2 playoff games and set a lot of Cowboy records, Danny White at least had a better postseason record than Romo, even though there were no Lombardi trophies for White but he did play in some NFC Championship games, when at the time wasn't saying much for him personally because back then the bar was high for the Cowboys...as of late, an NFC Championship game would feel like a Super Bowl right about now being that the bar is super low for the Cowboys now, and it's been that way for a while. So to answer the question....it's a NO for me
Danny White isn’t even half as good as Romo, please stop this Dak slobbering nonsense. Danny White has been retired for 30 years and he can’t even get in the Ring of Honor... but maybe when Tony goes in the Ring shortly, he’ll invite Danny and hopefully Dak will be on a bye week for whatever XFL team he is a backup for and he can come too. That’s the closest either of them will get.

Passing yards are meaningless because it puts players like Eli Manning into a context they don't belong. Moon, Marino, Favre, etc. are not Eli's peers....and I don't think Moon should be in the HoF anyways, though he has a much better case than Eli.

You are attributing things the Giants did to Eli. Where did Barry Sanders' running talents get him? Attributing team wins to individual players is and always will be silly. And, for like the 10th time, I think Eli will get in, even though he sucks. "lead a 9-7 QB to a SB" is about the worst point I've heard...they were 9-7 b/c he sucks.

So if Patrick Crayton catches the ball, we aren't having this discussion? Ok.
That’s not necessarily true. If Crayton makes the catch it increases our chances of winning.

Romo had a shot at the end to pull it out. I was sitting in that corner of the end zone in my last game at Texas Stadium.

Again, just because you think Eli will get in it’s not a done deal yet. When it is then you can have this outburst.

Dak is factually better than romo

Unfortunately only one person needs to decide who goes into our ROH.

The point is not whether or not they would have won that specific game, it's the fact that there are 10,000 reasons why a team wins or loses, and the play of 1 player, alone, is hardly ever THE reason.

It's not an outburst just because I disagree.

And total passing yards is an achievement considered by the HOF. It’s why Witten is being considered .

Much like career hits are in MLB or points scored in NBA.

It’s why total yards are a measurement for ranking offenses and defenses because total yards translates into first downs and points.

You have derailed. You're trying to twist anything so you can justify Romo being inducted into the HOF.

But you fail miserably by simply entering Dan Marino into the discussion. Good lord, it's really not even debatable. Marino was heads and shoulders above Romo.

Not a knock on TR, but he's just not HOF caliber.

It is amazing how we had a team before and after Romo that was just lacking a QB but never had a team when we had Romo.

All of the "If Romo has this team, then we would be Superbowl champions." discussions that some Cowboys fans repeat over and over again. Saying that it's Dak whose holding back this team and that Romo can take them to the promise land. When by using the same logic, someone could say that if Brady had Terrell Owens, Terry Glenn, Miles Austin (RAC), Prime Witten, Prime Dez, 2014 Murray, that Brady would have won another Superbowl ring with any of these weapons. Brady was a QB who could actually have any WR/TE/RB plugged into his offense and had the Patriots as one of the favorites to make the Superbowl season after season.

But, excusing Romo, with a false narrative of him never having any good teams or weapons to work with isn't doing him favors. In the same way that some say that Romo could have made the Superbowl with the 2016-2018 Cowboys. Someone else can then use the same logic, to say that Brady,Brees, or Peyton Manning, would win the Superbowl with the teams that Romo had.

Owens, Witten, Glenn, Roy Williams (11), Miles Austin etc....where either just about as equal to the current Cowboys WR corps, especially before Cooper. Or in cases like Owens, Witten, Glenn, they are are superior to the WRs/TEs that we had before Cooper got traded to us. Roy Williams (11) and Miles Austin weren't HOF WR here by any means. But, no one can convince me that Hurns is much more talented than they are. Cooper and Gallup are young WRs, with the potential to be great. But, again Owens and Glenn were HOF type WRs. So, I don't know why some feel the need to constantly diminish the teams Romo had.

Marion Barber and Murray, by not have been on Zeke's level as RBs, yet during the time, did provide Romo with a good enough rushing threat to assist the offense and turn the Cowboys into a playoff team.

Doesn't make Romo's career stats any better to say that he never had better teams around him or that he has to solely carry the Cowboys by himself.

True but White retired before Jerry got here. There simply has never been a push for him to be in the Ring because he wasn’t good enough and he had a shorter career than even Romo did.

Total Yards do not equal points. Have you watched the Cowboys this year?

Yea the Marino deal totally derailed his argument.

Romo would have had a better argument if he played more than 7 full seasons accumulating much higher total yards. He’d of been more in the Rivers argument then without more playoff success.

No. You said Marino did something in the playoffs, he didn't. I'm comparing him to Eli, not Romo.

I have said multiple times that I don't think TR is going to the HoF.

In general they do. And why the NFL uses total yards. Our futile red zone offense has derailed our offense .

And our offense is still ranked overall below average .

Marino makes the point for me, it doesn't derail it.

Marino never did anything in the playoffs and is in the HoF. So no, playoff success is not a requirement to be in the HoF. He's not hte only example. Warren Moon, Barry Sanders, Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson, Bruce Matthews, Anthony Munoz....there are dozens of guys who didn't win a Super Bowl and went to the HoF.

Yet, for Eli, the only thing that does matter is the fact that he won two Super Bowls. That's ridiculous. Bad plays win Super Bowls all the time.

The fact that you have to convert in the red zone is exactly why yards does not equate to points. There is no "in general" about it.

Danny retired in 1988 just a few months before Jerry arrived.

I’m not arguing Danny should be there. I’m just saying being in our ROH only has to pass one persons approval.

Then explain to me why the NFL has always used total yards to measure rankings?

Winning championships matters. Do you think Aikman is in without winning 3 championships?
