Yeah but they also shouldn't be penalized because Jerry failed to put a adequate team around them. Also rather fitting that Ware got a ring once he got out of here...Witten probably would've too if he had left earlier in his prime.

Also worth noting those guys got rings in a non salary cap era that are in the ROH.

It was tougher to win in the uncapped era and the teams were better. The talent is spread around the NFL now. Back in the uncapped era, you could actually keep a team together for 6-8 years and stack up talent at every position. Thats how you get teams like Landry's cowboys in the 70's, Montana's 49ers, Knoll's Steelers ect. The cap makes keeping talent harder which causes roster turnover and a watered down product. People look at the Patriots and think they are the greatest dynasty ever. But the 77' Cowboys and 78' Steelers would have thrashed them.

How was it harder when all you had to do was to to the Steelers, 49ers or Cowboys to get a ring?

why? I don’t think he belongs in it, not at this point.

"Deserving" is a nebulous term, but even so, while Tony may be "deserving", others are more deserving. Of course there is a limited amount of space (guess you could go 2 or 3 levels, but that's really not a "Ring" of honor, more a paragraph, but I digress) and as far as we know the NFL will be around for a long time, for one. And two, there were so many players that were on the Cowboys before Jerry bought the team that "deserve" to be there, depending on how you determine "deserving".

Some popular/very good players will always be left off the list...

Might have even taken 2016 to a championship, even after the broken back, with the strongest offense he would have ever had, but not given a chance. And then to rocket to the top of NFL announcers. So close to the picture perfect NFL story. On the verge of so much NFL history. Just needed a couple of moments to bounce his way for the HOF and the greatest story the NFL ever told.

Romo was washed up by 2016. Too many serious injuries and could not be counted on. Dallas had their perfect QB for 2016. Did you even watch? There is absolutely nothing more Romo would have done that Dak didn't. We got the 1 seed and Dak went toe to toe vs Rodgers as a rookie in the playoffs. Dallas fans have this romanticized picture of Romo in their heads for whatever reason. He was all flash and stats but no real substance.

Cowboys all time leading passer...I think he belongs

If Dak plays here going forward, he will be #1. All time leaders in terms of passing for almost every team is who has played QB the longest in present day. It is so easy to pass these days and rack up huge yards. Doesn't actually mean much beyond that. Romo played here a long time in a pass happy league and throwing 50 times a game. I would hope he would be the leader.

Tony was having an MVP year in 2014. Get a SB that year, and Romo has a chance for the HOF. But not.

Beat the Giants in 2007, when Tony *did* throw the winning TD pass, which Crayton pulled up on, and that year might have been different too. We lost to a team that rampages through the playoffs as a wild card, that beat the previously undefeated Pats, and were only a Crayton choke away from beating them, with a hobbled TO. With homefield advantage and a healing TO, good chance to make the SB, if not win it. But not.

Another Romo moment that wasn't. Denver game against the great Peyton Manning. Romo was on the verge of breaking Norm Van Brocklin's seemingly permanent record for most passing yards in a game. The Broncos didn't stop him all day. But Tyron steps on him, and Romo makes a bad choice to throw into coverage instead of a wide open RB. Sad.

It could have been the greatest QB duel of all time, with Romo beating the immortal Peyton Manning and breaking Norm Van Brocklin's record for most passing yards in a game. But not.

UDFA becoming franchise QB of America's Team. Bobbled snap. The UnCatch. So much Romodini in the pocket. So many come from behind wins. So many years carrying the team. Winning with broken ribs. A broken back. Might have even taken 2016 to a championship, even after the broken back, with the strongest offense he would have ever had, but not given a chance. And then to rocket to the top of NFL announcers. So close to the picture perfect NFL story. On the verge of so much NFL history.

Almost Antonio.

In 2014, Romo had the 6th highest QB rating in history til that time. It currently 13th.

In 2016, Romo had one drive. Marched the field for a TD. QB rating 137. Didn't look very washed up. Reports were that he was stomping the first team defense with the scout team.

Even in 2017, The Break was saying that Romo wanted an open competition with Dak, but wouldn't get it, because Romo would win and the team wanted to move on.

Reports from the time were that Romo was still sharp, and the only televised play showed him to be still sharp.
