Tony Romo

The story of Tony Romo deserves better than what I can ever write. His story is so unique, not only because of how successful he has become, but the path in which took him to the pinnacle of sports fame in America as the QB for Dallas.  

He was definitely the most polarizing figure in football during his career and one of those cursed with detractors that choose not to believe what the numbers say. 

A .602% winning percentage and (I doubt anyone will claim that he had excellent coaches after Parcells.) 
60%  is top 15 all time area for a player with over 130 games started in the NFL.
 He trails only some of the greats:
Brady, Montana, Manning, Big Ben. Rodgers, Young, Elway, Kelly, Farve, Flacco and  McNabb, All of these guys had HOF type coaches, (Harbaugh maybe on the way.)

You stated some of his all time NFL stats in the previous post. 
Here is a few NFL RECORDS he holds.

• Highest QB rating in month of December (133.7)
• Highest QB rating in fourth quarter
• Most games in a season with a passer rating of at least 135.0 (6)

Yes, he had moments of infamy with his interceptions, I believe he threw 8,  I think Brady was second with 7 before last year. but goodness what he did was special.   He held the highest QBR in history during last two minutes the last time I checked.

There is not telling how many games they lost where he scored with less than two minutes in his career. The 25 are only games in which Dallas actually won. I saw somewhere they lost 37 somewhere, but I cannot prove this number. 

This chart simply shows QBR in 4th and OT during the modern passing era.

2006-2016

I will miss the crazy comebacks, but I am glad he retired without more injuries. 

As for Hall of Fame, if you judge it based on stats amongst his peers he deserves to be considered.  If you only take the top 5 for his time played, I wouldn't give him a chance.

 If he had played in a wide open offense like Brees, of course he would be in the HOF with a higher winning percentage and better numbers than Brees. But he didn't and Saint Sean got New Orleans a Super Bowl. 

Is Romo on the level with Manning, Brady, Rodgers, and Big Ben?  Not in my opinion, especially those first three.  

On the plus side, he is definitely the best golfer to play QB since John Brody.
