Don't remember who, but there was a poster the other day who mentioned similarities between Romo and Billy Kilmer.
In terms of throwing motion and the way the ball comes out of Romo's hand, I can see that comparison.
His face, when he's wearing a helmet, looks a little like Favre's (to me at least).
He's got good mobility (needs to learn to slide feet first) and carries himself with confidence.

Reality said:
Per Jerry Jones, the only real barometer for a "franchise quarterback" is how he looks in the shower, not how he looks in preseason.

Fran Tarkenton
Fran
Tony
(excerpts from Encarta)
Fran Tarkenton, born in 1940, American football player, a quarterback noted for his ability to run with the ball while looking for a receiver. Tarkenton set numerous National Football League (NFL) passing records during his professional career with the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1986.
Although he was an all-state quarterback in high school and an All-American at the University of Georgia, he was not chosen in the professional draft of 1961 until the third round, when the Vikings, a newly established team, selected him. He won the starting quarterback position with the Vikings and led the team to an upset of the Chicago Bears in the team's first professional game .
From the beginning of his professional career Tarkenton used his ability to scramble, or elude tacklers and rush for yardage, which became his trademark.
His improvisations on the playing field were criticized by the coaches, however, and after the 1966 season he was traded to the Giants, where he played from 1967 to 1971.
In 1972 Tarkenton was traded back to the Vikings, leading them to the National Football Conference (NFC) Central Division title for six consecutive seasons (1973-1978) and to three Super Bowl games (1974, 1975, and 1977), all of which the Vikings lost. Slowed by injuries, he played for a final season in 1978 and then retired. During his playing career Tarkenton developed a successful business career, which he continued after his retirement.

Let's hope Jerry doesn't trade Tony.
