People talk about how Drew Brees was a second round pick, Russell Wilson a third rounder and of course Brady going all the way down to the 6th round. Well don’t forget, Tony was undrafted and turned into a 10 year franchise QB in the NFL.

[@michaelramirez3112]

and what do all 3 have that Romo dont...Superbowl wins...hell he didnt get to an conference championship game...so dont compare him to those players...he was a great QB...but not elite

[@johnnyalvarez6792]

Michael Ramirez still impressive though it’s probably the most positive outlook you could see from a undrafted QB

[@sloebone7399]

Michael Ramirez - You’re right, he’s not in that elite group with Joe Flacco, Jeff Hostedler, Nick Foles, Doug Williams, Mark Rypen, Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer. He’s in the non elite group with Marino, Kelly, Tarkington, Fouts, Warren Moon....Except all those guys were drafted. Sadly, it takes a team to win a Super Bowl.

[@sloebone7399]

Where does that leave Carson Wentz? He’s got a Super Bowl ring but he didn’t actually play in the game. Foles jumped in, won the playoff games and was Super Bowl MVP. Is he elite? Basing a career on a Super Bowl is pretty short sided. If somebody could have done more with that Cowboys team, they had 10 years to find him.

Harupert Beagleton Yeah dude. I wanted him back in when he got healthy. That playoff game against the Packers...we come up short by 3 points. If Tony had been in, we win that game and advance. I’ll go to my grave saying and knowing that. Who knows what that 2016 team could’ve done....but they definitely would’ve advanced to the NFC Title game.

[@thistoob]

Look I love TR9 as much as all of you but if he deserved the job, he would have proven it on the field in prior seasons & not be dependent on the current situation (Dak 2016).

[@e.gonzalez3739]

thistoob Whoooooooa whooooa man. Hold fast. Let’s get some things straight. First of all, the reason they didn’t let Tony back in is simply because they didn’t wanna mess up a good thing and tanker with the Hot streak that the team was on. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. They had won 8 straight games and they didn’t wanna change anything. Which is the correct move. Romo then asked for the chance to compete for his job and they told him No. why?? Cause they KNEW Tony would’ve absolutely earned the job back but they feared it would cause a ripple in the locker room. Lastly, let’s face facts. Dak was able to shine in 2016 because of Zeke. Point blank period. Imagine if there had been No Zeke....think about that. Nothing against Dak. Just facts.

Nobody showed the true spirit of being a Dallas Cowboy more than Tony Romo. He may not have won a super bowl but he fought through everything he went through with the highest level of class. Every mistake he made he learned from and every injury he got he came back a stronger man. Watching him make that last touchdown drive against Philly will always be my favorite “last dance” moment in sports. He did everything he could for the team and sacrificed injury so many times just to keep on going for the team.

I haven’t missed a Cowboys game since like 2005 when I was 9-10 years old and I’ll tell you Tony was more talented overall. More consistently accurate, also felt like before each drive “something magical” was going to happen with Tony at the helm. With Dak it usually feels like “we might score we might not” like it’s more of a grounded feeling with Dak almost doubt. I like most Cowboy fans miss Tony and we were all a prisoner of the moment in 2016 when our team as a whole was having much success (I believe we started 10-1 or 11-1) that we forgot who we built our team around in the 1st place.

I think he’s down about the fact that the season he feels like he’s got it together, it gets taken away with injuries and circumstances. Being injured my junior year I was mentally and physically ready for my senior year to prove to myself that I was built for the game. Unfortunately I tore my cartilage out of my knee before the season even got started and never got my answer. I’m thankful my education got me far in life but almost every day I think “what if I played my senior year.” To be honest it still bothers me looking back but I relate as in “things happen for a reason.” And being thankful that you have your health and found a new career that you enjoy. Such as Romo finding a new passion for sports commentary. I think he’s down but I think he’s at peace with it at the same time.

[@compass5507]

Deserves the HOF. Dez's catch that "wasn't" was Tony's best chance to get to the Superbowl. Tony, Dez, Whitten all deserved a championship.

[@mrron1458]

I can't say HOF unless there are 2 HOFs. 1 for the regular season, a JV... and another for whole career, Varsity. He would make the JV HOF therefore... No.

I miss Tony man. If he was still here today we’d have multiple Super Bowls without a doubt. Dude slung the ball, made throws that were jaw dropping and left it on the field. Only true fans know.

I wouldn't say multiple, but with him and the way this team is playing on both sides of the ball and special teams this year...I belive it would have happened.

Who else remembers how great he was at scrambling, unfortunately for his life but he was great at making defenders miss or lose grip on Romo as he graced us with his footloose skills! Much respect to Romo and that’s coming from a Ravens fan!!

[@eugenehernandez5439]

What a stand-up guy. I hope I can be as classy when I retire an still enjoy the good times. I don't think I can be as classy as romo. Glad he was my teams qb.

[@weewee9279]

I just cannot listen to Romo talk about the Thing. I feel the Hurt and the Sadness in His Voice and I find myself feeling that instance of Lost!! Romo was the Ultimate Team Player, And I will Forever Be Satisfied that I got to see Him PLAY, The Awesomeness of His Competitiveness, My QB in my TO voice. How can I not think of Little Texas's song: "What might Have Been" with Romo, Zeke and finally a Health O-Line and a top 10 Defense. Football came to a Halt the Day #09(#1 in my Book) left the Game. Antonio Ramirez Romo...Im Happy knowing You and your family are getting to enjoy your time together. I Miss You on the Field, Sorry I got spoiled watching and hoping that 2016 would be the Year, We finally get another shot at a Superbowl for You and Witten. Greetings from Salem Oregon.

I always thought of Tony as a young buck and he is in fact five years younger then me, but man he looks old here. His face has the look of a man who is sixty, not fourty. Not wrinkle wise or anything, but like someone who fought in wars for 20 years or something. Like an old knight who is just broken down and done, and it shows in his face he is done. Dak coming along was the best thing that ever happened to him.

[@pjtheory]

The only reason why Tony Romo doesn't have a Super Bowl ring is that football is THE ultimate team sport. If Tony was provided with the rosters given to former Cowboy QB's Don Meredith and Danny White, the Star would have at least 1 more Lombardi Trophy on display. I understand that Romo played in a pass happy era, but he is Number #1 in Cowboy's history in passer rating, yards, touchdown passes, and comeback victories. Prime example of Romo's individual talents occurred during the 2013 season when the Cowboys had the worst defense in the league and the worst defense in Cowboy's history. Romo literally willed the Cowboys to 8 wins in the first 15 games, but suffered a season ending back injury in Week 16.

[@DavidBrown-du4ru]

PhilC what a bunch of lies. He had Dez Bryant, Terrell Owens, Jason Witten, good offensive line, DeMarcus Ware, Sean Lee, DeMarco Murray, Marion Barber, and so on. He had plenty of talent.

[@pjtheory]

DAVID: If you knew your Cowboys history, you would know that Romo NEVER had a defense comparable to the Doomsday Defense (e.g., 1966-1982) or the defensive units afforded to Troy Aikman from 1992-1996. Notice how Aikman became a JAG (e.g., Just Another Guy) when the Cowboy's roster wasn't loaded on both sides of the ball?

[@DavidBrown-du4ru]

PhilC he had a top ten defense in 2007. That’s a lie.

[@DavidBrown-du4ru]

PhilC he had a top ten defense in 2007. That’s a lie.

[@pjtheory]

DAVID: Your understanding of context is slim and Slim left town. Just a few examples. In the last 3 years of Don Meredith's career, the Cowboys were ranked Number 2, 7, and 4 in Total Defense whereas the only salient comparison during the Romo years occurred from 2007-2009 when the Cowboy's ranked Number 9, 8, and 9 in Total Defense. To compare the defensive talent between the 2 squads, however, is a joke. From 1992-1996, Troy Aikman was provided a defense that ranked Number 1, 10, 1, 9, and 3 in Total Defense. Compare that to the defensive units provided to Romo from 2010-2014. In that 5 year period, the Cowboys were ranked Number 23, 14, 19, 32, and 19 in Total Defense. If you replaced Romo with Meredith, White, or even Aikman on those squads, it is unlikely that the Cowboys would win more than 4 games during their 3 consecutive 8-8 seasons, and Romo's 2014 regular season remains the greatest statistical season (e.g., QB rating) in franchise history.

Tony, we enjoyed watching you very much. You were great in football no matter what. People are going to always mouth off about something which is STUPID. Everyone, you know who you are. Don't worry, you carried the team the best you could being in great pain with injuries. The haters don't know nothing about football. You were a warrior.

People only remember two games about Romo: Seahawks fumble and Giants Divisional Round Int. He was always top 3-5 in stats vs Prime Rodgers, Brady, Manning and Brees! He’s never had a defense ranked lower than 15, Demarcus Ware was only one player. If Romo didn’t score 30+ they would lose. In my opinion, he’s a great quarterback, maybe not one of the greats because he never got that moment which he was robbed of when Dez caught it.
