Donovan McNabb: My numbers are better than Troy Aikman’s

[G2]

I love regular season Hall of Famers.

Statistics are for those who are arguing a point that the eye test suggests their argument is incorrect.

McNabb will need to settle for the Chunky Soup Presenting the Product on the Field Award...........................

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Alright Cowboyszone, let him have it.

Aikman is the better driver.

 

[tyke1doe]

His numbers are better, because of the system he played in. No GM walking the Earth at any time in the history of the sport would take him over Troy.

McNabb played in the WCO did he not?
Troy would have had record-breaking stats if he played in the WCO.

This is a pretty stupid reason to keep someone out of the Hall of Fame, thankfully most people don’t subscribe to it or someone like Witten would go from a lock to a no-chance.

He threw up on the field during a super Bowl. That's gotta count for something.

LLLOOOLLL, the first reply after the OP posted this. There will be alot of LOL going on in this thread.

This is the scenario of if you didnt know Aikman from say college or seen him play in the 90s you would think this is a good argument. Aikman had a mean arm he could throw with the best of them and he was as accurate as any QB ever. This is why he was a number 1 pick. He wasnt a reach.
Everyone back then felt he was number 1 and for a reason . If he had played for a passing offense his numbers would probaly be doubled. He sacrificed his game for the run game with Emmitt Smith. What he could do truly showed in the playoffs. If you loaded the box , he would make you pay quickly and consistently. That team was truly a machine and Troy was a huge part of that. I truly feel he we would have built the offense around Troy and still had that defense , we still would have won at least one superbowl.

 

[cowboyec]

tell your numbers to shut-up.
TROY

I think his anger is really directed at Terrell owens.

Even if you completely ignore postseason, Aikman's numbers are still better.

Troy tore it up in the Super Bowl Donovan threw up
These guys really need to keep their thoughts to themselves

You're right about Troy and Super Bowls. He was always locked in.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Troy Aikman- three rings. The guy ate pressure for breakfast.

McNabb- zero rings. Lost his breakfast during his only Super Bowl appearance.

The bigger the game the better Aikman played. If the Cowboys' offense didn't center around Emmitt Smith Aikman would have had at least 100 more TD passes in his career.

 

[blueblood70]

Alright Cowboyszone, let him have it.

hes right about the number but wrong about earning a HOF bid..i mean Romos number blew Aikmans out of the water in the Regular season but Aikman seemed to excel in the biggest games sort of like Foles.. Ive posted Aikmans a career RS numbers, they arent great at all..pretty bad stat wise low TD number and pretty high INT numbers, no one remember that but Postseason and SBs he was another guy..im not siding with Mctubby but he is correct on numbers alone but thats not what the HOF Canton uses as determining factors..

 

[viman96]

Best part of Aikman's game was how he lead the team. He knew when to chew someone out, step back or take over a game. Dude could ball today.

 

[percyhoward]

Aikman had four Top 5 seasons in passer rating. McNabb had two.

Every HOF QB who played most of his games post-merger has at least four Top 5 seasons except two -- Bradshaw and Kelly. And they both had more Top 10 seasons than McNabb's five.

HOF QB since 1970
Top 10 (Top 5) seasons
Staubach 7 (5)
Bradswhaw 6 (2)
Griese 11 (5)
Fouts 8 (5)
Montana 13 (9)
Kelly 7 (2)
Elway 5 (4)
Young 8 (8)
Marino 12 (6)
Moon 6 (4)
Aikman 6 (4)
Stabler 5 (4)
Favre 11 (6)
Warner 6 (4)

McNabb 5 (2)

Even completely ignoring postseason, McNabb doesn't measure up. If he were in, he'd be the least accomplished QB. And then there are all these guys whose arguments are as good or better than McNabb's.

Ken Anderson 9 (5)
Philip Rivers 7 (5) (so far)
Tony Romo 8 (4)
Dave Krieg 6 (3)
Boomer Esiason 5 (4)
Steve Bartkowski 5 (3)
Trent Green 5 (3)
Phil Simms 5 (3)
Bernie Kosar 5 (2)
Neil Lomax 5 (2)
Danny White 5 (2)

 

[plymkr]

Me and McNabb have the exact same "numbers" of super bowl rings.

Troy Aikman has 3 super bowl rings.

Someone tell McFlabb not to drink and tweet cuz it makes him look like a moron.

Well Mr. McNabb you are WRONG!
