Don't forget his winning. That's inflated too.
Hey, he was a winner no doubt about it.
But, if that's the only criteria used, then why don't people make a bigger deal of Aikman being the all-time best?
I'm willing to give him his due when others start giving Aikman his....instead we hear about how Aikman always had better talent around him.
Well, so did Mr. All-World Montana....plus, he would throw a five yard hitch, let the receiver break ten tackles and run for fifty more yards and get credit for a 55 yard TD pass.
Aikman would throw a laser on target twenty yards downfield perfectly leading Irvin, Novacek, or Harper and have the announcer talk about how great the receivers or OL were.
My post was more protest than anything else....I'm sick of guys like Montana getting praise, when guys like Aikman were just as good.
