He says since Romo is the most successful Mexican QB ever and will get in based on that alone.

Screw his career stats: 29th passing yards in History behind the likes of Krieg, Testaverde, Kerry Collins, Esiason, McNabb, Hasselbeck, etc

Not to mention his lack of playoff success.

What does the MSB think?

I think he had HOF talent but I'd say no. Injuries + no MVPs or playoff success.

I don't think it's really a debate. He was a good QB. The hall of fame is supposed to be for great players.


Was Romo ever a top 5 QB in a given year during his career?

I'm the biggest Romo fan you'll find but he's no hall of famer.

McNabb and McNair should get in before Romo. At least those two had some playoff success.

He might just for being the Cowbitches all time stat leader. He does not deserve to be in HOF though

No. An exciting player throughout his career but a career often derailed by injuries.

If Romo got in, you could then make the case for almost anyone that played for 10+ years.

Hey, he was good enough to keep his job for over a decade...Hall of Fame, methinks.

I really don't understand the argument for Romo being deserving of the HoF... What credentials does he have to warrant such a discussion?

Brady
Manning
Brees
Rodgers
Roethlisberger

all have way better cases than him from this era.

Even Eli, Rivers, Palmer, and Ryan can be argued as better.

What has Romo EVER done to distinguish himself? He has NEVER led the league in any important stat, except in 2014 when he led in completion % and passer rating AND DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE ALL-PRO TEAM OR WIN MVP. He's only made 4 Pro Bowls. 2014 is far and away his best season and it's pretty unspectacular. Not to mention that his teams never won anything of note. The Cowboys teams during his tenure were the definition of mediocre. I think Romo was a fine QB that got more flack (and attention, for that matter) than he really deserved, because he played for the Cowboys. He was good, and better than most are willing to admit, but does he deserve the HoF? Hell no.

I had no idea he was Mexican. So was Jim Plunkett and he won two Superbowls. Gimme Jim Plunkett in his prime over Romo.
