I still remember Coach Landry cozying up to him when the Bruins were in Texas Stadium for a workout prior to the Cotton Bowl that year.

Yep... and watching a game the year before, the announcers said the Dallas's Tex Schramm felt that Aikman "threw more catchable balls than any QB they had ever seen".

No way he wasn't going to be a Cowboy if we were in position to take him...

Love your enthusiasism but that is the cheesiest thing I think I've ever read on this board.



Ok now, carry on.

Good coaches don't have the luxury like fans or mediots to buy into the franchise QB theory before a player proves his mettle.

Jimmy Jhonson didn't believe in Troy until he proved he could earn the job, keep the job and lead his team to the SuperBowl.



I agree that Skip has a flare..........but his quotes from Jerry which are factual information can't be refuted. Jimmy didn't annoint Troy, even though he was a much better prospect than Henson. He brought in Walsh to hedge his bet just in case and Troy did the rest.

[View Full Quote]How I wish this could be history repeating itself, but I also like to point out the delusional thinking of some fans and mediots who think they know if a QB has what it takes before they prove it.

If the great Jimmy didn't know how could they.

Landry alternated Roger and Morton between plays within offensive series....a claer sign that he didn't know which direction to take the team offensively or whom to hand the reins to until either QB proved their worth.

Next time someone says Parcells is holding back Henson I'll

Great post Charles. All we can do is hope for the best. No one knows how a player will turn out.

I wish Tooey would've popped him one. Just a quick little jab below the chin. Left handed even. Just once.

[speedkilz88]

In 1991, Aikman had a QB rating of 86.7 with a 65.3% completion rate for 2,754 yards in 12 games.(Sacked 32 times, sacked 11 times against the Eagles in one game) He had already proven that he was the man in everyones eyes except the idiot named Skip Bayless. Steve Beurlein was a great backup qb, a great acquisition to replace Babe Laufenberg, but the guy was not a franchise type qb.

Skip Bayless failed to mention in this article his great line that the Cowboys would never win a Super Bowl with Mark Tuinei at Left Tackle.

Imagine that... hard to believe Skip would leave something out that makes himself look bad...

Skip is a hack... always has been... always will be... and I have a 19 year history with his writing crapola...

I was going to say you guys are missing the point of the story. Bayless should have gotten off that plane with multiple broken bones but didn't.

I agree he should have been pulverized ,but I just do not believe his story.

Knowing Skip... and I have talked to him a few times in person... you can believe the event... just not his recollection of what actually transpired...

[BHendri5]

Hahahaha, You hold on to that fantasy. Jimmy's contract was just like the one BP has right now. Yes they make all of the personnel moves but neither guy can pull the trigger without Jerry signing off on the deal, Just like back in 89, and the supplemental draft with Walsh.

You must be isolated, because it has been said over and over that Jimmy wanted Mandarich but the Packers got him, and when Emmitt was coming out he wanted Seau and Blair Thomas, but both guys were gone so he took Emmitt, which the RB coach back then had been in his ear all along to draft.

I agree, Landry was had Troy picked already, but Jones and Jimmy stayed the course, but Jimmy wanted Mandarich the Tackle, he has admitted that too, in an interview. He admitted that he wanted to start with his O-Line, what coach wouldn't?

I know he wanted Mandarich, we got Aikman, now I do not remember if he wanted to try and get both, or if he was just stated that it was a big decision to which one he should go with. It does not matter now anyway.

But with Walsh, that is a different story, he wanted Walsh for his QB, it has been written too many times and you have just read from one and probably the first guy to write about that. And regardless of what you want to believe Jones made Jimmy start Aikman, and to get rid of Walsh, I remember that like it was yesterday. I'm 100 percent Texan tried and true.

Carter has blonde hair and blue eyes? Talk about typical.

This comment is weak.

Carter is gone smoking a joint somewhere.

You turn a lack of mentioning Carter in some antiQB talk into a promotion.

Take your BS agenda eselwhere

If there is anyone that has an agenda it is you.

There are slews of 20 page threads about Carter/Hutch in the archives. Go there if you want to dredge garbage.

Do you get some werrd vindication in continuing to look for ways to denegrate bad players no longer on the team?

Hey if that floats your boat have at it but man that was old back in 2003.

I guess that means my agenda is to point how your agenda to look for phantom Carter/Hutch agendas in others agendas is lame.

Call it whatever you want, so yes I have an anti-troll agenda.

When was the last time you saw me start a thread about Carter or any QB for that matter?

If someone makes inaccurate, or in some cases outright fabrication, posts about our past QBs, I'll correct them.

If someone does the same about our current QBs, I'll correct them.

Once again, if you don't like it, too bad.
