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

[Legend]

Aikman has outright said Romo is a better QB than he was.

Aikman was being nice. If Romo is a better QB than Aikman per your opinion; why will Romo never get elected to the NFL Hall of Fame?

 

[Legend]

LOL. If you compare the 2007 team to its contemporaries and the 1989 team to its contemporaries, the only positions that the 2007 team has an advantage in is QB, TE, and

LOL. If you compare the 2007 team to its contemporaries and the 1989 team to its contemporaries, the only positions that the 2007 team has an advantage in is QB, TE, and DE.

The 2007 Cowboys had 13 pro bowlers and lost to Eli Manning and the Giants in the divisional round.

The 1992 Cowboys also 13-3 defeated the Eagles 34-10 in the divisional round and defeated the 14-2 49ers (considered the best team in football) loaded with HOFers as well including Jerry Rice.

And of course the Cowboys dominated the Bills in the SB with Aikman winning SB MVP.

Aikman is not known for being "nice" - he's brutally honest. Heck, he was crap talking Mahomes on Twitter a couple seasons ago.

Mahomes is a better QB than Romo and Aikman stated get back to him about Mahomes when Mahomes has 3 SB wins.

Romo cannot enter the same discussion because he could not get pass the divisional playoff round.

Mahomes fans posted that Mahomes already has more career passing TDs than Aikman’s.

I posted Aikman’s 3-0 SB record versus Mahomes 1-1 current SB record and of course the Mahomes fans who probably were too young to watch the 1990s Cowboys state… Aikman had loaded teams

 

[mattjames2010]

Aikman played the 1993 SB with a concussion.

...okay and? He also went out in important playoff games not knowing where the hell he was at.

Look, AIkman had a stretch of 5 seasons where he was very good/great, but he was also on one of the most loaded teams of all time. So much so that Aikman claims we didn't get to see the best of him because he was playing bus driver. Very very few other QBs in history had the luxuries Aikman had. Since you "watched Aikman", you would know this.

How about sticking to the topic, big brain. The point isn't to get into a D measuring contest about how good all other QBs are to Romo. You going senile at your age or something? Keep up.

Simple fact is, Aikman said Romo was a better QB and Aikman was on a more loaded team than Romo was ever on. Trying to suggest that 2007 team was similar to the 90s team is freakin' absurd and you reaching to win a debate. It's lame.

Jimmy Johnson, Pat Summerall, and others stated Aikman could have put up way better passing records if he wanted to.

Like his HOF peers Marino, Elway, Young, Favre, Kelly, Moon… etc

But winning was more important to Aikman.

Thus, he sacrificed his stats for the benefit of the team.

And it worked since he won more SBs than his HOF peers.

Maybe he could have, simple fact is, he didn't and we didn't get to see that. Again, if you actually watched him as you said, you'd know this. But what we DO know is that Aikman was only playing at a high level when he had a team only a few others in NFL history rivaled and the moment he lost a couple pieces, he became an injury prone garbage can. He wasn't very good before all those all-pros were brought in and he wasn't very good when he lost them.

The 2007 team did not play a 1992 14-2 49ers either.

They lost to a wild card team N.Y. Giants.

Yes but the goal of football is to win SBs.

Aikman won 3 and simple fact Romo won 0 and never experienced playing in a NFC championship or Super Bowl.

I don't need to watch them - I actually remember. I know the teams Romo was on for most of his career, and I know Aikman was on one of the best teams in NFL history. This can't be disputed. Was Aikman a good player in 1990, 96-00? He had a stretch from 91 to 95 where he played at a high level that just so happens to coincide with Cowboys being loaded at nearly every single position.

 

[mattjames2010]

The 2007 team did not play a 1992 14-2 49ers either.

They lost to a wild card team N.Y. Giants.

That 2007 team played Giants who went on to win the Super Bowl and beat one of the most high powered offenses in history.

This discussion is over. You're clearly not right in the head.

 

[Legend]

Is Eli Manning a better QB than Romo?

Since they are peers and Manning won 2 SBs including beating the 2007 13-3 Cowboys with 13 pro bowlers as a wild card team?

That is sort of similar to the 1992 13-3 Cowboys defeating the 1992 14-2 49ers in the NFC Championship game.

Aikman led Cowboys defeated what many considered at the time the best team in football; and the 49ers were also the team of the 1980s.

Check out the 1992 NFC Championship game intro below for the significance



While Manning led Giants defeated what many considered the two best teams at the time Romo led Cowboys and Brady Patriots in the playoffs.

Aikman was 11-5 in the playoffs with 3 SBs; the leader of the team of the1990s; and won more games in a decade (1990s) than any QB in history at the time… before Tom Brady broke his record

Maybe you should reply to the actual post. Your post is meaningless without addressing the point that I made prior.

Your opinion is meaningless if you think Romo did not have talent on his teams and Romo was a better QB than Aikman.

The Cowboys in 2007 finished 13-3 and had 13 pro bowlers and went one and done in the playoffs.

When Aikman came into the NFL; the Cowboys were not like the 1992 version with the Great Wall of Dallas; a top 3-5 offense; and a top 1-2 defense.

The Cowboys were the worst team in the NFL.

Lol, keep mentioning 13 pro bowlers as if it is indicative of anything other than the Pro Bowl selections being a sham.

There is one of us that has a worthless opinion, and it's the one that thinks that the 2007 Cowboys were close in talent to the mid 90s Cowboys.

[Legend]

No team in 2007 is considered a top 5 team of all-time in NFL history as the 1992 Dallas Cowboys.

You stated Romo who only won 2 wild card playoff games in his entire career was a better QB than Aikman with less help.

Yet Romo in 2007 with 12 other pro bowl players (as the #2 team in the NFL) went one and done losing to a wild card team.

I would expect Romo led Cowboys in 2007 to win the SB instead (if Romo was as great or greater than Aikman).
