Video: Troy Aikman on accuracy: You either have it or you don't

[CalPolyTechnique]

Yeah Idk about that I loved Troy Aikman. I like Romo cause he’s a homie. I loved emmit smith and I think Zeke a beast.

I don’t think all Romo fans hate Aikman. There’s contingency of fans who like both QBs. I personally think Aikman was a better qb, and compare Romo to being slightly better than a Danny White - which isn’t bad

Lol, folks are claiming if you like Romo you hate Aikman?

This freakin’ forum...smh

 

[Jinxx13x]

I have not read the 26 pages of posts just the thread title

Aikman was one of the most accurate QB's ever i believe he qualifies as an authority on accuracy ! IMO

They constantly say things like “well so and so only has 1 ring”, “so and so only has a ring because of their defense”, “Tony would have won those rings in the 90’s, Aikman couldn’t win with Tonys team”, “ what did Aikman do when his line fell apart”.

Romo fans constantly put Romo in the perfect situation for success and knock other QBs. Been happening for years.

Hmmm. I certainly think Romo would have had a much better chance of winning a SB on those early 90s squads than Troy would have had with our Romo led teams. I don't think that's a knock on Troy, that's just common sense based on how good top to bottom those teams were. Lots of QBs would have had a better shot winning on those teams than any teams they are on now. Troy I think would even agree with that seeing as he thinks Romo was a better QB than him.

That said, Troy's one of the best I've ever seen play the position.

When the Dallas Cowboys visit the high-flying Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Troy Aikman believes the advantage under center goes to Dallas.

The Hall of Fame passer told USA Today on Saturday that he would choose Tony Romo over Aaron Rodgers or any remaining quarterback to make one big play in the postseason.


"I'll tell you, right now, from what I've seen this year -- just talking about this year -

In fact, Aikman said this week that Romo is a better quarterback than he was.

"I think Tony already is a better quarterback than I was," Aikman told the Brownsville Herald, via the Dallas Morning News. "I know how quarterbacks are judged, but as far as his play-making ability and the things that he is capable of doing, he is a far more athletic quarterback, capable of making more plays than I ever was able to."

Aikman then took his praise of Romo to the next level, saying he believes that he believes the Cowboys will win a Super Bowl with Romo at the helm.

doesn't even make sense "if you liked romo you hated troy".. where did this crap come from. I appreciated both.

 

[stinkface]

Troy is right, you either have accuracy or you don't. That however doesn't make you a great QB. Jeff George was accurate and had a cannon for an arm. He was however a lousy leader, a lousy teammate and a headcase to boot. Dak is always going to miss some throws. Hopefully the rest of his game makes up for it.

Got no idea. Kinda strange.

 

[Stargazing]

Yet Dak has beaten their GOD WENTZ for the division title 2/3 years...while Wentz's backup is showing everyone how overrated he is...

If I was Troy, I would ****...stick to calling games between your favorite QBs Wentz and Goff Troy...everytime during the game he tried to talk **** about Winston or Prescott they both made his *** look silly.

Ha lol so your saying Troy knows nothing about what he is saying but u know more? Ha its comical. Its insane how people on this site are the 1st people to say he stinks or is overraterd if they dont play for the cowboys but when a 3 time SB champ and hall of famer says it it holds no water? Lol. Im hysterical how people on this board say they suck are overrated if they are not a Cowboy. Its embarrassing and its why the country hates those Cowboy fans. Anyone who plays for the Cowvoys are great while the rest of the players suck. Its exhausting. I can only attest that the majority of this board is under 40 years old .

The California native also compared the rookie to another former Cowboy - quarterback Tony Romo.

“I think he has a Romo-like quality. I think Tony was that way. He wasn’t the most athletic looking guy. He didn’t run particularly well. But he had an ability to make people miss and make plays," Aikman said via Jon Marchota.

Mayfield could play the entire first half against of Thursday night's preseason game against the Detroit Lions. Through the first three games, he has completed 26-of-45 passes (57.8-percent) for 363 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He also has ten carries for 42 yards.



Yeah it’s strange. I think most Romo fans are Aikman fans. Actually I’d you’re not an Aikman fan I gotta question your cowboy fandom cause Aikman and Roger are like the two most important players in cowboys history. There can be some debate about others but IMO they are the top two

I am sure it sounds good in your head. I have given you an example of it not being true.

But the games at the end of the season you used for examples, especially the last one, had low end values for number of attempts. So to me they didn't prove your point.

 

[Captain-Crash]

how about the emmitt fans hating zeke? lol

Larry Allen fans hating Zack Martin.

I like Romo because after Aikman it was painfult watching all the quarterbacks until we got romo. That period of time also taught me just how great Aikman was. This is one of the reasons why I used to cringe when someone said we need to blow up the team and start from scratch. I don't need another Quincy Carter era, no more Viney Interceptiverdes either >.>

I like Zack Martin, but would replace him any day with a cloned Larry Allen

martin and allen on the same team would be awesome.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Maybe a handful of people have been more accurate than Aikman , this is a subject he knows better than anybody .

 

[Captain-Crash]

if he's accurate on the accurate issue of dak, then he has to be right about romo being better than him.

BTW an article

https://www.downthedrive.com/2012/1...-football-2011-season-in-review-running-backs

"The most remarkable thing about the numbers from this season* is the yards per carry. 4.64 on 500 attempts is phenomenal. Rushing the Football is extremely susceptible to the law of diminishing returns. In general the more you run the fewer yards per attempt the running game will garner. The Bearcats bucked that trend in a big way in 2011. The 4.64 YPC is the third highest average of the last decade** and this season was, in general, the best rushing offense in the last decade at least, possibly two."

The article says the exact same thing as I have been saying: "In general, the more you run the fewer yards per attempt (YPC) the running game will garner" To me this is just except knowledge that people don't even give a second thought to usually. I really don't understand why you think that the law of diminishing returns doesn't apply to all production environments.

 

[starcity214]

Aikman first 3 seasons completion % 59.5, 59.5, 59.4

Prescott first 3 seasons 68.3, 62.9, 67.8....

Did Troy “not have it”?

To quote the Great Jimmy Johnson -

"Troy, you were one of, if not the most accurate QBs I've ever watched.... and, you did it without the dump offs like todays guys do"

Jimmy took a shot at Dink Prescott.

Key phrase...in general. You said it can’t increase And I gave you 2 examples of when it did, which you said wasn’t possible. And I will still stand by the law of diminishing returns not applying. You can’t keep everything else constant, which is a necessary component of that law.
