Video: Dak asked about following Aikman/Staubach's legacy

[lukemartin79]

Danny White getting disrespected, he at least got us to NFC Championship games. Dak seems to be just like Romo to me. Can throw for a bunch of yards but will disappoint you when it counts most. He can still change that legacy though Romo can't.

loved Danny White, and he was also the punter too- that was the best. never seen it since, lol

Well we are definitely getting into different eras…Starbach, Bradshaw, Fouts etc etc, I think it’s important to distinguish different eras as the game was different back then. Not to take anything away from those greats. But a guy like Terry Bradshaw probably wouldn’t even be able to make the practice Squad on todays teams. Just a fact. That said, In my opinion those were the best days of the NFL. It was a real game back then. Danny White was a a pretty dang good quarterback. He played in the cowboys system and he played it well. We didn’t get any Super Bowls out of him but we came damn close for quite a few years.

Because Staubach and Aikman were great, and Romo was not. They were a Heisman Trophy winner and #1 Overall pick, respectively, for a reason and lived up to it. 1st Ballot HOFers, Multiple SB winners and winningest QBs of their eras.

It’s no comparison. Romo was good but not on their level.

Not even close! Just like Dak’s not on Romo’s level.

Yes, he was the HOLDER on that play, not under center as a QB, lol. Most teams don't have their number one QB as the FG holder, he was because he started the season as the number two QB and took over starting during the season. Ok, he goofed as the holder, or it was a bad snap- has nothing to do with him as QB, lol

I remember that like it was yesterday. It was not a bad snap but someone snuck in a new ball that was so shiny it glistened. It was like trying to catch a wet tuna. If only Tony had been wearing gloves... history might have changed.

It was up in Seattle right? Everything always seems wet up there, lol

 

[Zekeats]

Did you forget Romo had Parcells?

Lol for half a season. Seriously? And if not for a freak dropped kick they had a great chance to go to and win the super bowl that year

Don't forget, if the kicker attempts to block Babineaux, Romo scores easily. The kicker saw Romo pick up the ball and run, but did nothing to help. Absolutely nothing.

Aikman’s career low was a divisional round playoff loss. That was Romo’s peak.

The people that want to group Romo with them have no idea what they’re talking about, Aikman was the prototype pocket passer. It’s night and day on talent, leadership, and ability to win. Dallas wins the super bowl in 2007 or 2014 if they had Aikman at quarterback. Hell maybe even 2009, or did you forget Romo has the #2 ranked defense in the league that year and choked by turning the ball over 3 times in Minnesota?

Respect the history of this franchise, it wasn’t always the clown show it’s been for the past quarter century.

Lol, we've seen Aikman with the beginning of the clown show and he did nothing, let alone when it had fully set in.

Romo was a better QB than Aikman, learn to separate individual play from team results.

 

[lukemartin79]

How can u be that dumb?

Im not the dumb one who can't read, lol - BRA, lol- it started with a LOL, give you a clue? guess not CLUELESS, LOL

 

[Shane612]

Staubach and Aikman?
He ain't even any way near Danny White's level.
He's barely better than Quincy....

 

[khiladi]

Aikman in this QB friendly era would easily set passing records.

All these “statistical friendly” offenses back in the 90s, like the K Gun and Run and Shoot, never won anything. In fact, that was the 90s, let alone pre-98 DB rules, when DBs could do a lot of things include contact after 5 yards.

You are also dealing with lighter equipment and faster stadiums.

Dak would be a bum in the 90s and prior to.

As much as I love Romo, he is NOT Aikman by any stretch.

 

[Shane612]

They didn't win those SuperBowls themselves, lol- they had far superior teams to win them with as well as far superior coaches too.

It only takes one guy to screw things up.
Even if Dak had all the cowboys' HOFers, in their prime, playing with him, he'd be that one guy that screws it up.

Aikman would be in a casket after what Romo went through from 2009 to 2013.

And Aikman looked like absolute crap after he lost a couple of all-pros on offense.

Aikman>Staubach>Romo > Dak
