His Skechers commercials are pretty sweet.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Good QB and better announcer

Loved the player and wished he could have stayed healthy.

Has banged several hot blondes

Could wear a backwards baseball cap like nobody's business.

As of right now, best Cowboys QB post-Aikman.

Romo never had the supporting cast (coaching and teammates) Aikman and Staubach had at their respective peaks.

If not better, how close is Romo to being the best or 2nd best QB in franchise history?

Aikman was a pure passer, accurate af, SBs have to have him at the top.

Romo is the best QB not named Aikman to play for this team. His ability to make players around him better and extend plays is unmatched, IMO.

I’m sure there are a few old farts here that think White Homie The Clown was better, but the game is so much faster and I don’t think anyone from the 60s and 70s would be starting in the league today. Too many stiff dudes who worked at the lumber mill in the offseason.

Staubach and Aikman were both better than Romo.

 

[Rev]

Staubach and Aikman were both better than Romo.

This is the correct answer.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Staubach and Aikman were both better than Romo.

It's true. Romo was very good. I appreciate all he did here. But in the end the goal is to win Superbowls and he never even sniffed one. His career was a roller coast ride where the highs were awesome and lows were miserable.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I'm as big of a Romo fan as there is and I think he was fantastic, but we're comparing him to two first ballot hall of famers.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Staubach and Aikman were both better than Romo.

I'm surprised this is even debatable. Romo was very good, but those two were great. Roger probably even more than Troy.

I wasn't around for the Roger days so I feel like I can't fairly form an opinion.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Staubach and Aikman were both better than Romo.

Based on what? If you loaded the team with players that both Aikman and Staubach had on Romo’s team, I think you would change your mind. The fact that both players had SuperBowls in their tenure is a testimony of the overall personnel quality. And the fact that Romo set franchise records despite sub par team personnel is another testimony to his talents.

Romo has had talented teams. Aikman and Staubach has had some mediocre teams. Aikman and Staubach win the big games. Romo goes to Cabo. As far as the stats the game today is different and passing stats are easy to get. I don't put as much stock in that. Give me the leader and winner every time.
