Dak is a greater QB than Aikman?

[GMO415]

Some of the Speakeasy crew said Dak was better than Aikman and Romo. Romo can be contested but to say Dak is better than a HOF, and one of the most accurate playoff QB in NFL history, is absurd.

Aikman was a far better college QB and pro QB than Dak. No disrespect to Dak, but "I know Troy and you sir (Dak) are no Troy Aikman.

Lol this thread will be fun

The speakeasy show is not one I pay attention to. Acho and company just don’t interest me. The one time I watched it, it seems like a a hot-take “let’s try to go viral” show

They also intentionally create fake arguments where one says something crazy, another says something crazy on the other side and then a third guy wades in as the straight man.

It sounds like at least one of them offered a pure ragebait talking point and got you fired up.

Was this a drive-by for you or are they part of your regular weekly routine?

Sounds like maybe the athletic podcast or nfl daily might be something you like more

If you just want one of the routine “Dak/Romo lover/hater threads, you don’t need to even references those guys

Jsut say “Dak is better than Aikman. Give us your thoughts.”

It happens every day. Have you been hiding on an island in the middle of the Pacific?

Golf clap - Dak has Aikman beat in a few stats. It's unfortunate that some put more stock into Dak's stats than anything else, but that's all they have to prop him up.

I'll take 3 super bowl championships over anything Mr. 2-5 has accomplished or will ever manage to accomplish.

It’s pointless to try and compare generations. Troy played a completely different game than Dak.

Dak is playing against better athletes, Troy probably played in a tougher era overall for the qb position though.

Troy 3 rings. Dak 0 rings.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I can’t say who better but i think Dak and Romo have similar success if they had Aikmans teams.

 

[Dale]

Purdy or Montana?

I thought this would all sotp come Week 1...yet, here we continue to be, lol. If it wasn't for liking the poster, I would go off, haha.

I don’t think so Troy never choked

Dak and Romo have each had stacked teams and couldn't get the job done. Maybe not as stacked as Aikman's teams, but pretty darn close.

"maybe"?

The disrespect Aikman gets is amazing

 

[RS12]

Wake me when Dak wins a SB MVP. The insanity, I swear.

 

[Vtwin]

Guaranteed that every person who says Dak is better than Aikman, or that Dak would have had similar success with Aikman's teams was either not born yet or was single digits old when Aikman was winning SB's.

Hard to choke with a Dynasty.

Aikman played with hall of famers. But I don’t knock him for that. It’s not necessarily about the names with Dak and Romo. It’s about the teams. How many rings should Dak and Tony have around Garrett and Wade Phillips as coach? How many rings should Dak have with Mazi Smith at DT or Jaylon Smith at linebacker? How many rings should Romo have those years Nate Livings and Bernadeau were his linemen?


The game has changed but one thing that hasn’t is the trenches being important to winning and the head coach. No one is serious about winning with Wade Phillips as head coach. I can’t even imagine Troy trying to win that way.

Dak would not survive playing in the 90's, Troy playing in 2026 in his prime would absolutely destroy defenses.
