Were you following the Cowboys during Roger Staubach’s career? I followed his entire career and Troy Aikman’s, and in my opinion Roger Staubach was better. Every NFL all-time ranking I’ve seen has Staubach ranked ahead of Aikman.
I remember Tom Waddle (Bears WR) playing over the middle of the field and just getting smacked around. One of my favorite players, he was a tough son of a gun. He retired due to leg injuries, but I wouldn't have been surprised if he didn't have brain damage from the punishment he took.
Aikman played his absolute best during the playoffs. I don’t remember Aikman ever being the reason the cowboys lost the playoff game. Dak may have better stats, but those two losses to the 49ers in back to back years are part of his legacy now.
Wait. Wut?!?!??
Who on earth is claiming that Dak is better than Aikman?
If there is anyone, they need to have their head examined!
Aikman had some bad playoff performances. He was absolutely awful in the 20-7 playoff loss to the Cardinals in 1998. He only completed 44% of his passes and threw three INT’s. His passer rating was 37.0. He was terrible against Carolina in the playoff loss to the Panthers the year prior in 97. He only passed for 165 yards and had 3 INT‘s. His passer rating was 37.4. Those two playoff losses were worse than any Dak has suffered. Aikman lost his last three straight playoff games, and the last two against Carolina and Arizona were miserable. When the team started to decline he began to struggle. He was a great QB, but a lot of his success was due to playing on some great teams. When his teams weren’t as good neither was he.
You are using past prime Aikman’s playoff stats instead of his first 11 playoff starts where he went 10-1 with 3 SBs and 1 SB MVP.
Romo is not better than Aikman.Romo is better than both
Nobody is doing that. Aikman and Staubach are off limits and any QB comparison unless it is between Aikman and Staubach.
I’m actually a person who’s been really fair on Dak and the answer is No! Aikman played in an era where DBs mauled WRs and they threw less. He won in the playoffs because he was one of the most accurate playoff passers in history…especially on the quick release routes. That’s fact
Dak has loaded teams in a league that basically lets QBs put up numbers. You’re making up stuff. And I’m not a Dak hater. I’m one of the normal people who think he’s 50/50 and realize he’s great/bad atl at once
Romo is not a HOF QB.
Aikman has publically admitted several times Romo was a better qb then him. Even one interview I saw where a guy asked him if hes just being humble and he said no that Romo could read the field better then him and that the only thing aikman had over romo was a little bit better accuracy but thats it. Aikmans rings were bought by jerry jones in a non salary cap era. If rings are the end all then I suppose flacco is better then marino.
Pure ignorance
