Except for Roger. Roger was the better QB.
Aikman is less accurate than Dak. And he won't have a Norv Turner offense to lean on.
Myself I say a prime Deion. The man was unreal.
This is a fun exercise and thought it might make a cool debate.
If you could bring back one past player from the Cowboys and inject him into this year's team in his prime for this season only, who would it be?
As I mulled over the question, a lot of guys came to mind. I thought about the QBs of the past and while I would love to see Aikman's surgical accuracy with this team, I don't think we gain that much improvement.
I would love to see Michael Irvin back, but WR is already a strenght.
There are a lot of great linemen in Cowboys' past, but our line is already good.
So for me it came down to four possibilities:
Charles Haley
Demarcus Ware
Darren Woodson
Deion Sanders
And I decided on Sanders. I know we added a lot to the QB room, but I think Sanders locking down one side of the field would be lot of fun to watch.
Watch that early/mid nineties offense and say that again with a straight face. Aikman had pinpoint accuracy.
Sounds good to me! After all Roger was responsible for me being a Cowboys fan.Roger always worked extremely well w/ a running game.
Aside from height, Roger was better in every facet. Nothing against Aikman, Roger was just that good.
Great QB's get penalized by statistics. Even when a guy isn't open they will put the ball in a spot to give a guy a chance to make a play rather than throw it 10 feet over his head and out of bounds so it counted as a throwaway.I followed his entire career. I still have tons of games on my old vhs tapes. How pinpoint was that accuracy when #88 or #22 didn't play? If Dak is gonna get shredded by fans here for missing throws, have that same standard for 'he has no faults' Aikman.
