59-41 as a starting QB
59% winning percentage in his first 100 games.

65% career completion percentage.

27747 career yards to go with 192 career TDs and 96 ints.

I believe I heard this morning on the radio that he has the most passing yards of any QB in NFL history through his first 100 games as a starter.

96.1 career QB rating.

19 game winning drives.

Has there been a better undrafted free agent?

At this point you have to give the nod to Kurt Warner since Warner won a super bowl and played in three of them. he could have easily been 3-0 in those instead of 1-2.

Warren Moon
Kurt Warner
James Harrison
Antonio Gates
Arian Foster

I suppose Romo is right in the mix...

No. Because not everything that happens now is the greatest something or other in the history of society.

Not even the best QB.

Warren Moon and Kurt Warner were undrafted.

And then there are Hall of Famers like Willie Wood and John Randle.

He's probably not even one of the 25 best undrafted free agents.

So---no.

yep, all 4 better than Romo.
Foster has a chance to be. Hard to judge anyone whose career isnt over though.

No. He was a head scratcher draft pick by Bill Walsh.

Warner was great but his numbers aren't that much better than Romo's. I guess the biggest difference is rings.

Tony actually compares pretty favorably to Moon's career numbers.

No. Rod Smith is the greatest undrafted wide receiver.

Nice edit on the 1st rounder.
