Aikman was a 1st round, #1 pick. Neither Romo or Dak could have had the same success, even with the loaded teams. Remember, Aikman got the hell beat out of him and had multiple concussions. The team wasn't stacked when he was drafted.
Yeah.....not buying just bc he was a #1 pick that he could do it and they couldn't.
Yes, he got the hell beat out of him in the early years but that was also because he was very much a pocket passer with not the best pocket awareness/escapablity.
Romo would be fine in that situation, probably would have thrown a bunch of picks as well...probably would have had some injuries. Dak would get away less but also can take a pounding with his build.
The 1-15 year would have certainly been an interesting test. Aikman's toughness and resolve and ability to persevere through that allowed him to go on and qb this team to 3 super bowls. That is really the only question in my mind, would these two have been able to survive mentally.
