I keep knocking Troy down a notch... sorry, I just don't see how Troy Aikman is better than Dan Marino...

Obviously my opinion is not from a championship winning standpoint, but strictly statistical, Marino was far better.

I'll homer up and not mess with Roger tho.:eek::

Thats funny since Troy outdid Roger on stats and championships, and wins, and playoff winning pct.

Roger was more known as a winner for his performance with the game was on the line. He had a great cast, but...




Troy's team>>>>Roger's team


Roger>>>Troy

In a recent flag football game...Staubachs team beat Aikmans team..as predicted here.

Staubach passed for a couple TD's and ran for another. He's what?...65?

I'd take Staubach over Aikman in a 1 on 1 game of basketball if they played tomorrow.

Roger Staubach may well be the most competitive person on the planet. He absolutely refuses to lose.

You realize of course, Staubach had his greatest statistical season 2 full years older than Aikman was when he was inducted into the HOF.

Let us not compare Aikman to Staubach ever again.

Staubach>>>Aikman.....EVERY DAY, IN EVERY WAY!

Please tell me your not serious. Maybe Roger CARED a little more about that FLAG FOOTBALL game than Troy did. I say this as a 44 year old who plays flag football every Saturday against 20 somethings. Believe me, I have more to prove than they do. :)

In terms of Aikman's age when entering the Hall, can you say INJURIES. And injuries, btw, also affected his performance late in his career. I challenge you to even carry the groceries into your house with a bad lower back, and Aikman was playing football with it. (In some instances because of cortisone shots)

Aikman still had better statistics than Staubach and set most of the Cowboys passing records and that is a fact. That doesn't make Troy better, I was simply responding to the guy who couldn't put Aikman above Marino because of stats, but COULD put Roger there. I was showing that this didn't square. And the reasoning doesn't square.

In terms of being KNOWN as a winner because he came through with the GAME ON THE LINE, well, 3 Super Bowl wins out of 3 Super Bowl tries, and I think the 3rd highest playoff winning pct of all-time puts Troy about as high as you can go on that scale. Pull his passing stats in NFC Championship games and Super Bowls and I think he sufficiently spoke for himself.

In terms of TEAMS. And I say this with all due respect, but that whole argument has been blown way out of proportion. Where do I begin?

#1 - Nobody wins without great TEAMS. Period.

-Bradshaw - Steel Curtain defense, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth.

-Montana - Rice, Taylor, Craig

-Roger - Dorsett, Doomsday I and II, Pearson, Tony Hill, Bob Hayes, Lance Alworth, Duane Thomas, Calvin Hill, and a whole host of others.

I'm absolutely fine with people loving Roger, he was my first favorite player ever. I still have his book "Time Enough to Win." GREAT, GREAT QB.

I just don't disrespect Aikman, there is enough of that out there, and its nonsense.

Why do people keep bringing this up, yet ignore that Montana won 2 rings without Rice, a ring without Craig and Craig wasnt much of a factor for the 2nd one.

Montana's teams that won championships were good teams, whoever his team mates were, or else they wouldn't have won. A good example of this is the many turnovers that he had in the 1981 NFC Championship game. (3 interceptions and I think a fumble or 2) and yet they were still able to win the game 28-27. Some Clark guy made a pretty good catch in that one.

I would also say that Bill Walsh's system threw everyone for a loop until people caught up with it a bit. It is no accident that the "West Coast Offense" is now an NFL staple.

Montana was great in his own right, but he didn't do it alone any more than any of these guys did.
