So if you could choose 1 QB:

You'd rather have a going-into-his-4th-year Dak, over a going-into-his-4th-year Aikman? Because, you know...............availability.

Aikman who missed over 1/2 of a college season due to a broken ankle.
Aikman who missed 10 games over his first 3 years in the NFL.

Aikman played a full slate of 16 games 3 years out of 12 years with the Cowboys. I'd say that worked out pretty good for Dallas. Wouldn't you say?

Do you know where we can pick up a 4th year Aikman?

I was actually going to give your question a thoughtful reply until I stumbled along this money.

First year of NFL free agency 1993

First year of NFL salary cap 1994

So yes Jerry was the 2nd Owner to win a Superbowl in the season that included both Cowboy Dynasty killing factors.

Lurie or Jerry after 1st 4 years of Ownership?

I'll give you FA. I thought it didn't happen until after the 95 season. I'm really bad with timelines.
The salary cap, I thought, didn't really take effect until a couple years after it was adopted, because of letting the existing contracts run their course. I can't find anything at the moment. And Perry Mason's on.

I'm an Eagles fan. So, Lurie.

How about this:

The 90's team, coaches, and Dak or the 2019 team, Garrett, and Aikman?

That is more of an even fight.

Moore may turn out to be really good but I think I'll take 90s team + Dak.. Better defense, better offense (qb excluded) and better coaches.

that's the easiest question to ever answer.

AIKMAN 5000000%

with Aikman, there was never any doubt, or question. you knew he was the "it".

You didn't have doubts? Granted I don't think any Cowboys game were televised in my area that year except Thanksgiving (I don't even remember watching that one tbh) but Cowboys went 1-15 that year and it was Walsh that won that one. I was a big Hurricanes fan at the time and thought Walsh was going to be great, lol.

A couple things. They always televise a lot of Cowboys games around the country, and 1989 was no different. It wasn't until the year following the 1-15 season did that stop momentarily.

The 1989 team was absolute trash. Any highlights were Aikman. Any games they almost won were due to Aikman. He wasn't going anywhere.

You do realize Aikman was injured because of Switzer's stupid offensive scheme at OU?

Even Aikmans various backups - Beuerlein, Kosar and Peete - were better than Dak.

Wentz and Dak are both risky investments at $30 million a year. Both have a high-bust potential at that cost.

Especially when you consider that none of the top 7 paid quarterbacks last year made the playoffs.

This is an apples and oranges thread. The NFL during Aikman time was different on all offenses capabilities and rules. You literally could mug a WR, late hits were a norm and not penalized, it was all about the run game because if you didn't have one you were toast and defenses could literally get away with for more than now and name me six QB that could actually run the ball themselves during the 80s. Today is the NFL has far more passing attempts, fouls are called so often that you wonder if the game will end, the defense cannot touch hardly anyone and tackling is an art not a punishment, offenses normally go against 6 DBs which hardly ever happened during the 80s, and so on.

Love Aikman and love Prescott, but two totally different NFLs.
