Is Romo a hall of famer?

[KJJ]

The first was a miracle catch, the second was a good throw.

I do hate Eli. He sucks. He was on a team that won two Super Bowls despite the fact that he sucks because they had a dominant defense. Without the chuck and pray, we aren't talking about him.

You hate him making your opinion worthless. He escaped what should’ve been a sack to make that throw in his first Super Bowl. Then he went on to throw the game winning TD. When it mattered most he made the throws in both SBs. He deserved both awards. If Romo made both those throws you would be giving him all the credit in the world.

10th ballot right there along with Alex Smith, Matt Ryan, and Chad Hutchison.

Chances look better with every Dak start.

Nope. Sucks. Didn't deserve it, doesn't even deserve to be in the conversation with Roethlisberger, Rivers, Romo, Brees, let alone Peyton, Brady and Rogers.

That play was one Romo routinely made throughout his entire career. It's not made better because of when he did it, and the fact that it sticks out so much is because of how much it contrasts to his overall ability. I mean, Larry Brown isn't a HoFer because he won a Super Bowl MVP, and neither are Malcolm Smith or Desmond Howard.

An HoF is based on a career, not 2 plays.

Romo did make an incredible throw in the post-season, but this forum criticized him and said he should have dinked and dunked on the play.

I doubt Romo would have gotten credit, many people made in their minds about Romo after the Seattle playoff game

We’re not talking about the Hall of Fame we’re talking about the Super Bowl MVP and the award can be based on two very critical plays that helped win both games.

He never made an incredible play to win a Super Bowl much less two of them.

Romo doesn’t have the career numbers or playoff record to be a Hall of Famer. This debate keeps coming up and it’s silly. All anyone has to do is check out the all-time passing list and see how many QBs are ahead of Romo. He’s falling farther and farther down the list. His last two seasons he only played a few games and that was in 2015. Some of you need to give this up he simply didn’t have the playoff record or numbers.

We are talking about the Hall of Fame, because it's the only reason we're talking about Eli in the SB.

I was talking Super Bowl MVP and you said he didn’t deserve either award. Eli is going to end up in the Hall of Fame because of those two Super Bowl wins and his career numbers which have him in the top 10.

As every QB who is no longer playing will. Joe Flacco has thrown for almost 6,000 yards more than Troy Aikman, and Matt Schaub has more than Roger Staubach lol. The All-time passing list means absolutely nothing.

I don't even think Tony is a HoFer.

not a chance but hes a lock for the ROH

He didn't, and having those only matters in this conversation b/c we're talking about him in the HoF.

His career numbers are trash. A lot of yards is just a product of a lot of throws.

 

[HungryLion]

Just because I think this is an interesting discussion...

Brady, Peyton, Rodgers, Brees are all locks.

After that, it's pretty much a toss up between Romo, Rivers, and Roethlisberger (all of whom I think are better players than Brees, personally), but I don't see how one can get in without the others getting in.

I’ll say this now. No way Big Ben doesn’t get in. Superbowls shouldn’t be a major consideration. But they are. It’s not really fair but it’s the reality.

Ben has 2. And plays for the Steelers. He will be in

Eli ranks 7th on the all-time passing list while Romo ranks 32 second and falling.

You hate Eli we get it.

 

[lukin2006]

You betcha. He produced points in JG offence, with a substandard o-line for many years.

Then look at his career. I'm no fan of Eli - I dislike him quite a bit in fact - but he did QB his team during several playoff runs and 2 SB wins, plus he is 7th all time in passing yards and 8th all time in TDs. In addition, he had a strong game in the 2nd SB win (75% passing, 296 yards, a TD and 103.7 passer rating), so claiming he only has 2 plays on his resume is pretty off base. And he did well in the first SB win also, just not as well. Trust me, I would prefer to say Eli is not a HOF player, but his results will, and realistically should get him in. And, like it or not, fair or not, playoff and SB wins factor into the voting.

Different eras! QBs are judged amongst their peers. Aikman didn’t have the numbers over his peers but he had Super Bowl wins. He won head to head battles against them in championship games.

 

[VACowboy]

Super Bowl wins are a team stat.

Talent-wise, it depends who else gets in. He probably won't, but there's no way you can make a case for Eli to get in but not Tony.

I don't think Eli is a Hall of Famer but two SB MVPs is a pretty decent argument.

He's 6th all time in attempts. Being 7th in yards is pretty meaningless.

SB wins does factor in, and Eli will get in because of that. As such, so should Romo and Rivers, because both are better.
