Aikman on Dak: He's going to be the Cowboys quarterback for a long time

[CowboyRoy]

Dak is a completely different type of Quarterback to Aikman. That goes without even saying how good each one is.

Not in leadership. Players believe in them. They are winners.

 

[Pantone282C]

If only! Actually, it's the fans creating the polarization unnecessarily. The QBs are just playing the game a Hell of a lot better than the fans could even dream about.

Truth.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Darren Woodson says so. His opinion>>>

So what players say so, and how does that compare to what players said about Romo in 2007 and 2014. Quotes please.

Possibly. He'll certainly have a chance to prove himself during the playoffs. BTW anything more substantial than the blanket statements?

 

[tyke1doe]

So is Aikman our friend now?

 

[Zman5]

But how many guys have that type of accuracy? I always use the examples of Aikman and Rodgers, but how many current NFL QBs do? Brees does. Brady and Rivers, probably but I don't think they had it early on in their careers.

But guys like Russell Wilson, Eli Manning and Cam Newton have won a lot of games without having it.

Donovan McNabb is a great example of a QB who won lot of a games without being accurate. His career completion percentage is 59%. He did this mostly without great receivers too. Having a great offensive coach helped but some guys just find a way to win. Even with limitations.

I immediately like this guy.
Post more bud!

thanks bro. I appreciate it. I try but people here post so fast. Specially in gameday threads. its hard to keep up. But I will do. thanks for the encouragment!

loved Donovan Mcnabb. He is a good comparaison to Dak Prescott. I hope Dak does better and wins a Super Bowl someday. I think he is very capable. As long as he got good guys around. I hope Prescott understands that. Others got get paid alongside him, to make this thing work.

Aikman: "What should I say this week, Jerry?"

Jerry: "Dak is God reincarnated."

Aikman: "I'll do a play on your words, boss."

Romo profited from the country club atmosphere that was fully cultivated in Dallas by the time he arrived. Had we been a more serious franchise then, I'm fairly certain he is forced to live out his Cinderella fantasy elsewhere. Romo provided the perfect illusion of making us appear competitive without actually having to be that.

A+ for one of the dumbest statements I ever read on the site in over 10 years.

 

[Pass2Run]

Dak gets all the credit while Romo gets all the criticism.

It's difficult to criticize Romo too much. He didn't have the team Dak has.

Plus, even when you have the team, you can't control your destiny 100%.

Romo was great.

 

[Ranched]

Aikman has spoken. Haters, Suck it!
I just hope he doesn't come out with a tweet saying Garrett is gonna be HC for a long time. Lol!

He did. Nine years ago. Sorry you missed it.

 

[starfrombirth]

He sure doesn't sound that way on the air.

If Romo had the team (Zeke, Amari, and decent Defense) he would have won a LOOOOTTT more.

 

[BoysForLife]

He did. Lamar had more yards and passing touchdowns

Garbage time passing touchdowns when the chargers defense clearly had gone into protect mode

if you watched that game from start to finish like I did there is no conceivable way you can say that Jackson outplayed Rivers. No way

Rivers was getting absolutely killed the entire game and was still finding a way to make plays. For the first three quarters Jackson couldn't have hit water if he fell out of a boat

It's the same problem with Prescott. Sucks butt for 3 1/2 quarters and then makes a few plays the last 8 minutes and people think he had a great game

It's a complete myth that Romo never had good teams surrounding him.

 

[BoysForLife]

It's a complete myth that Romo never had good teams surrounding him.

It's a complete Myth that Romo ever had *both* the leagues leading rusher and a top 5 scoring defense.
He never did. In fact only once during his tenure did he have a top 5 scoring defense, and only once did he have the leagues leading rusher behind him, and they were in separate seasons (2009 for the defense, 2014 for the rusher).

Dak has had both of those a the same time, twice in his first 3 years. And yet--we are constantly inundated with posts about how Dak has "nothing to work with" while Romo "was surrounded by piles of gold".

At least make your propaganda somewhat consistent with actual history.

 

[Blake]

A+ for one of the dumbest statements I ever read on the site in over 10 years.

He was a good passer in the regular season, but below average quarterback and football player in December. Sorry the truth ruffles your feathers, guy. He has become the most overglorified QB by a small minority of fans on this board for accomplishing nothing of significance, accept throwing multiple picks in win or go home games. I will keep dressing him down at every opportunity since I don't blindly accept the false "greatness" narrative attributed to him here.

Cowboys don’t have a top 5 scoring defense you’re making crap up

If tony needs the best defense and best rushing then MAYBE that means he’s not GOOD enough to carry a team.

Rodgers
Brady
Wilson
Brees
Ben
Mannning

Never had both and won SBs

Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don’t. Lamar outplayed Rivers as a raw rookie
