There was some talk
when Tony Romo retired, that he is a Hall of Fame caliber
quarterback. Well to me that is crazy talk. Tony Romo was a good NFL
quarterback but he is not worthy of being in the Pro Football Hall of
Fame.
While I was a
Cowboys fan as a kid I stopped pulling for them when Tom Landry was
fired. I neither pull for or against the Cowboys so I can look at
Tony Romo without bias. Tony Romo put up some fine stats with the
Dallas Cowboys.
Romo completed 2,829
of 4,335 passes with a 65.3 career completion rate, 34,183 passing
yards and 248 touchdowns. Romo only threw 117 NFL interceptions. Tony
Romo had good NFL stats but he was seldom if ever considered an elite
NFL quarterback at the top level of his position.
I don't think the
lack of a Super Bowl appearance for Tony Romo is the only reason he
should not be in the Hall. Though if Tony Romo had a ring it would be
easier to say, yes vote him in there. Tony Romo photo By Summertx of flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/summertx/954976489/, CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=2595682
