Now that Tony Romo has officially retired from the NFL, the debate has started whether the Dallas Cowboys all-time passing leader is a Hall of Fame quarterback.

This conversation seems silly, especially for a player who has won just two playoff games in his 14 NFL seasons.

Romo deserves plenty of credit for defying the odds as an undrafted free agent quarterback and lasting 14 years in the NFL. Getting into the Hall of Fame conversation is a token of how well Romo was performed in his career.

Free agency has started off with a bang for the Philadelphia Eagles. Make sure to stay in the loop for all Eagles transactions this offseason -- take five seconds to sign up for our FREE Eagles newsletter now!

If Romo does make the Hall of Fame down the line, there's absolutely no reason Philadelphia Eagles great Donovan McNabb shouldn't be in Canton with him.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the two, courtesy of Philly Sports Talk:

Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo have eerily similar numbers.

Romo has started fewer games, has a higher regular season win percentage (61.4 to 60.9), passer rating, and more touchdowns, but also had much more talent surrounding him at the wide receiver position than McNabb.

McNabb's best receiver was Terrell Owens for a year and a half and had DeSean Jackson as a top target in his final two years with the Eagles. Romo had Owens for three seasons and Dez Bryant for five, still managing to only win just two playoff games.

Rushing totals need to be taken into account as well. Even though McNabb and Romo played a different style of quarterback, McNabb had 3,459 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns in his 13 seasons. Romo had 620 rushing yards and five touchdowns.

Total numbers: McNabb had 40,735 yards (37,276 passing) and 263 total touchdowns while Romo had 34,803 (34,183 passing) yards and 253 touchdowns.

McNabb has made six Pro Bowls while Romo was selected to four. Both players have won NFC Player of the Week five times.

Despite Romo's postseason record (2-4), he has had surprisingly good stats in his career. Romo has completed 61.6 percent of his passes for eight touchdowns, two interceptions, and a 93.0 passer rating in his six postseason games.

However, Romo did cost Dallas a postseason win with a botched snap in the 2006 NFC Wild Card round and lost to a Wild Card team at home when the Cowboys were 13-3 and the No. 1 seed in the NFC Divisional Round in 2007.

He also never played in an NFC Championship Game, regardless on whether Bryant caught his pass in the 2014 NFC Divisional Playoffs or not.

While McNabb has certainly had his playoff flaws with his 1-4 record in NFC Championship games, he also won nine playoff games as the Eagles quarterback (third-most in the 2000s behind Tom Brady and Peyton Manning). McNabb has 24 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in the postseason with an 80.0 passer rating, but also 422 rushing yards and four touchdowns in the postseason.

Both Romo and McNabb have one fourth-quarter comeback in their postseason careers.

Romo and McNabb both have similar careers when glancing at their resumes, which makes the Hall of Fame case for either player interesting.

If one makes the Hall of Fame, the other deserves to be in as well.

Based on the evolution of the quarterback position since McNabb retired in 2011, his chances of getting into the Hall of Fame are slim.

That should be the same for Romo as well.
