I thought "you either have it or you don't". Wasn't that what he said earlier in the season? I figured he was talking about Dak not having "IT".

I thought there was a shot if you had "it". lol
He was talking about accuracy. But IIRC, in that same interview he said there are other factors to being a good QB.

if we beat the rams and dak has another outstanding performance, aikman, the crayfish, will become even more effusive in his praise for the qb who doesn't have the accuracy.

Since the great Troy Aikman speaks, maybe people on this board can start giving Dak some credit.

Bold> I strongly disagree. Prescott was overwhelmingly popular among fans, peers and media during August 2016 preseason and first two months of that season. He was literally surrounded by an aura of euphoria. Granted, he was criticized during the same period but it was minimal and nowhere reached the level of zealous criticism that has followed him after the 2016 postseason.
I think most of the "polarization" is simply residual from the Romo era. Many love him to death because he's not Romo, and many dislike him for the same reason, though I think most of the dislike is fueled by the Romo haters.

Troy seems very flippy-flopidy on the Cowboys.

Oh well, I thank him for the Super Bowls. Otherwise I treat his opinion like anyone else's. Glad he has them, but I don't have to agree with him either.

Semantics can try to explain or justify any polarization but it is simply nonsense in the final analysis. Unfortunately, it is something which both Prescott and Romo were/are saddled with.

Troy makes an extra effort to seem impartial when he's calling Cowboys games. Everyone knows who he wants to win but he tries to be critical of them as much as possible to avoid the homer tag.
