Is Romo a hall of famer?

[Stargazing]

ill ask this with a question:

Is he better than Brady, Brees or Rodgers? If yes then he is, if not then no....you have to be top 2-3 in your era to have consideration and i dont think he was...simple as that.

Great player, but not HOF

Is Eli Manning better then Rodgers or Brady???? Eli will be in the hall of fame .( believe me that a debate for another time... Ugh... Trust me ) but unfortunately he will make it. So that point holds no water.

He's not a Hall of Famer.

I'd say the no-doubt better QBs of his generation were

-Peyton Manning
-Brady
-Rodgers
-Brees

so there's at least 4 guys in his "cohort" ahead of him.

He's sitting in that second tier of guys like Phil Rivers and Big Ben. Basically, the guys with rings in that tier will probably get in, and the guys with rings won't. Eli and Ben have their tickets punched, so that's 6 QBs from the same era getting in. I don't think they'd go to 7 or 8, especially when Rivers and Romo don't have any playoff success (despite that being a team thing and not a player thing, it weighs in heavily with the Hall voters). Romo didn't have insane counting stats or great longetivity, so there's no real selling point to him. I just don't see any way he gets in over the half-dozen players ahead of him.

Players like Romo are the exact reason the Ring of Honor exists: so teams can give some respect to players who were franchise greats but not necessarily all-time league greats. I have no doubt he'll end up there eventually.

I always said he had the stats that were worthy. The initial hate for him and stigma of a choker via national media will keep him out as a player ...however his work as a broadcaster will get him in if he stays with it long enough!! Just my thoughts

Romo isn't on ben's level. Come on

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.

How did Dak get into this conversation...Romo is right where he need to be, in a booth where he doesn't have to worry about getting injured again. So yes, Jerry and Co. will put Romo in the Ring Of Honor but he still won't end up in Canton, Ohio with a bust and a GOLD jacket. By the way...I'm not all in on Dak, but he's the current QB of my favorite team and for that I support him the same way that I supported Romo, so miss me with the nonsense talk.

Jerry is very slow to admit mistakes. Taco might get traded but I doubt released

 

[Tussinman]

And no Rivers is not “easily” HOF, you insane?

I would bet my entire life on it. He's gonna get the same treatment as Frank Gore. Very good player for a very long time, will accumulate top 5 in all time in most stats and voters will vote them in on longevity (QB is the most valuable position in football/QB's are put on a pedestal and running backs aren't suppose to have longevity).

Thick of a playoff hunt.

Your team needs a win to clinch the division.

Your first thought: Whether or not your retired QB deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Are you kidding me?

This is a thread you compose in the spring when you are really really bored.

Is this the kind of thought that passes through people's brains as they walk about every day?

Gosh, I am very curious if Tony Romo will make the Hall of Fame. You know, maybe I should pose this question on a message board.

You don’t have to be an all time great to be in the HoF.

It’s called the Hall of “Fame.”

Ask anyone that’s ever watched an NFL game who Tony Romo is.

Btw, Chuck Howley, one of the elite LBs from the 70s, is still waiting on his HoF ticket.

 

[charleshaleyfan94]

No!! QBs bar of excellence depend on leading key victories in the playoffs and Super Bowls. Now don't start.. It's a stand alone evaluation. Rivers and Romo are very much alike. But without the rings and big games. They have other QBs ahead of them.

Tony Romo would definitely get in the Hall of Shame.

 

[Hadenough]

No

 

[DandyDon52]

If I had Romo's money in the bank, and his job, I wouldn't care about the HOF or whether I got in or not.

 

[Brax]

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?

not a big fan but what ever your agenda here is a good read, and makes a case as to how good he was.

No. He literally has nothing to hang his hat on. No mvps or super bowls. Missed a lot of games.

I just don't see it.
