MacMahon: Jerry Jones - Only a Super Bowl win can silence Tony Romo critics

[Clay_Allison]

I'd say Kurt Warner who has one ring (but led two different teams to the Superbowl) is a Hall of Famer for sure, and Romo has a ways to catch up to him. Should Romo win the Superbowl, he'd still be behind Phil Simms who won one and led his team to another before surrendering to his backup. Simms isn't a HOFer, and I don't think Plunkett who outright won two rings is either.

Romo has great passing stats, but would need to contend over the next three or four years to be considered. Even still there will be those who just flat out hate/don't respect the guy who will do their best to block his entry.

Plunkett had terrible stats. Eli and Simms weren't great statistically ever. Romo's production has been awesome. YPA and completion % especially.

If Romo wins a SB, he's in. No question. If Warner is deserving, so is Romo.

Warner is deserving in my opinion. He was a no name college player who engaged the Arena football system just to be able to play and emerged to become a SB winner. He appeared in the SB for two teams as well. The man paid his dues for the HOF.

This is the key, and that his dominant skill was the driving force behind both appearances.
