Is Romo a hall of famer?

[Diehardblues]

Team accomplishment. Jim Kelly played in 4, but was generally bad in the playoffs in his career, especially in the Super Bowl. Is he some great playoff performer? Being there doesn't mean anything. He didn't even play in the comeback against the Oilers.

You have to win playoff games to get to the Super Bowl.

Man, your really going off the deepens here.

You’ve already taken out Marino now Kelly, Earl, Barry and Dickerson.

I’m just about done here. This “ future” is becoming laughable.

Points aren’t used because turnovers leads to points by the defense. Not to mention points from special teams.

There’s a reason the NFL uses total yards . You should look into it. Don’t just believe me.

But I suppose I should believe a fan here instead of the NFL? Lol

I didn't say points was perfect, I said it was valuable.

The reason is that it's easy. That's all. Believe who you want, it's not like I'm the only one who thinks this way. Good analysts all do the same thing.

There's no reach dude, you just keep ignoring the points already brought up. Longevity is just ONE consideration. But feel free to just make off the wall comparisons on just ONE point.
It sinks you in deeper.

Yea, I think I’m just about done here.

He’s already taken out greats like Marino and now Kelly. And others like Earl, Sanders and Dickerson.
He’s dug his own grave. Lol

I'm not ignoring anything.

The points to make a case for Eli as a HoF player are totally bunk because they can also be applied to bad players. Super Bowl wins, Longevity lol. None of them are "Yea, he was a really good player."

Taken out what? I said that they are all HoF players.

I get it. It's just a poor argument.

Eli is remembered for the miracle throws and catches in super bowls, while Romo for the interceptions during regular season.

 

[kuyyo_morro]

Super bowl wins: Romo lacks. Eli is in.
Superbowl appearances; Romo not allowed. Eli is in.
NFCCG: Romo not allowed. Eli has multiple.
Playoff wins: Bortles has equal or more playoff wins. Eli ahead.
Lowering the bar now.
Regular season: Many more accomplished QB contemporaries.
Longevity: Always injured.

Not sure how can anyone vote for Romo into HOF. Joe Flacco/Matt Ryan/Cam Newton have more accomplished resumes than Romo.

Your's? I totally agree.

Your's? I totally agree.

Yea, my point that a player has to actually be good to be in the HoF is ridiculous.

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?

This is the problem with fans, they have to go to extremes. It's either Romo is one of the greats or Romo is one of the average. There's no middle ground, which is where he belongs.

Romo was good enough to win a Super Bowl with if the rest of the elements had come together at the right time, but we never had a great defense when Romo was playing well, or we were rebuilding the offensive line when the defense was actually decent. It takes more than just a quarterback to win a Super Bowl or even win in the playoffs.

Because Romo's teams did not experience Super Bowl success, he will fall short of the Hall of Fame. Personally, I believe in the right circumstances, he would be considered equal to Brees, who I don't consider an all-time great but great at times and in the right situation. Put it this way: NO has had five seasons at 8-8 or below with Brees at QB and in five of the six years the Saints have made the playoffs, they lost their only game. If not for a magical 2009 season, there wouldn't be much of anything to separate Brees from Romo (and the reason for that magical season had as much to do with the Saints' defense being great at forcing turnovers as it did with Brees).

I always thought Romo was a better QB than Eli but Eli was clutch in those 2 SB runs and that will probably get him in the HOF. Tony will be in the hall of very good. lol

That is all team stuff. Regardless of the O line, defense etc....Romo underachieved individually in late season, win or go home and postseason games. Even when there were opportunities.

 

[kuyyo_morro]

You cant put Romo in HOF for those game ending interceptions. Will be a the joke of HOF.

This is the same silliness that has been spouted for years, so I guess it will continue to be the mantra of the ignorant. There are all kinds of factors that play into a loss.

In the Saints' Super Bowl run, Brees completed only 54.8 percent of his passes against Minnesota for 197 yards (he did have three TDs) and fumbled twice but recovered both in the NFC Championship. The Saints won 31-28 because Favre fumbled at the New Orleans 10 to end the first half, Harvin fumbled leading to a short TD drive for NO in the fourth quarter and Favre threw an interception at the end of regulation with the Vikings at NO's 33. Those turnovers gave Brees the chance to emerge with a playoff W next to his name.

I never said there wasn't. Just as an individual, he failed on a few occasions and that is not factoring the other games where we can share blame with others. I am simple speaking of his own mistakes and short comings. It's one factor.
Name call all you want, you're not that important.

There is an element of truth in this. Those that aren't Cowboys fans would not consider Romo HOF material for more than 2 seconds. He is widely known (fairly or not) as a choker who couldn't win big games. He had some REALLY bad games.

“ good” is a subjective description or adjective and why we need career stats and personal and/or team accomplishments to assist in our determination.
