Dak is a greater QB than Aikman?

[Beastsfromthenfceast]

Dak's ego is definitely bigger than Troy's , but that's about it .

 

[McKDaddy]

players on defense are faster than Aikman ever had to concern himself with

they are faster than Deion & Darrell?

As a whole, perhaps but just being fast doesn't make them better players and today's rules take away speed advantage in some ways just like 90's rules helped defenders slow down receivers.

Also, if we are going with the whole bigger, faster, stronger wouldn't today's receivers benefit as well?

 

[McKDaddy]

I woke up thinking I'd just had some wild dream about all this. Good thing I didn't have breakfast.

 

[X550i]

I don’t think so Troy never choked

Some are born with 'clutch' genes, some are not.

 

[blueblood70]

I can’t say who better but i think Dak and Romo have similar success if they had Aikmans teams.

 

[TheRunningMan]

I blame the internet and clout chasing for engagement. We have devalued winning and put an emphasis on sizzle and stats. It is a lot easier in todays NFL to amass a bunch of yards and TDs than it was 2 decades ago.

Aikman and Dak have completely different styles. Aikmen was more clutch than Dak IMO.

 

[blueblood70]

Troy 3 rings. Dak 0 rings.

sam darnold has ring He must be better than Dan Marino with no rings is that is that we're gonna do with the ring chasing again and not take into account who had the better teams and the better coaching Staffs Are we really gonna do that i'm not gonna even answer this question i'm gonna let other people do it but if you think Trent Dilfer Brad Johnson and Jim Mcmahon and some other Quarterbacks are better than Prescott just because they have rings you haven't been watching you don't watch sports do you? Why does the Hall of Fame not require rings how is he quarterback like Warren Moon who didn't really do anything had a losing record in the playoffs no rings make the Hall of Fame and you think that ring chasing is the answer to this question is how many rings that each others have well I'll tell you that Emmett Smith the offensive line the defense the coaching staff all aided that endeavor those three rings belong to the team that's it that's all I'm gonna tell you is why you're really really wrong when you start ring debates.

That's not how it works that 'd be like Barry Sanders is worse than I can name about 10 running backs that have rings Some of them went and got ring on ring chasing teams I don't know didn't Kareem Hunt get a ring with Kansas City I mean we could do this all day long does that make him better than Barry Sanders because he has a ring how about Matthew Stafford led the league in interceptions after he went and jumped on a teams back that was already ready they've already been to Super Bowls and then he threw two interceptions in the Super Bowl and somehow you think that because he has a ring now he's better than he was with the Detroit Lions because I'd say he wasn't he's the same player..


Please don't come at me with garbage i'm right if we want to do this with quarterbacks we need to do it with other players I mean you trying to tell me there's a bunch of left tackles better than Tyron Smith only because they have a ring, hmmmm..

Some are born with 'clutch' genes, some are not.

Wrong It's easy to beat clutch when you have the best running back in the NFL with the best offensive line in front of you with some of the best skilled players playing at their best in the playoffs don't forget that And one of the better defenses ever assembled and one of the best coaching Staffs ever assembled and that goes for Roger as well i'm in the group that says that Romo and Dak are every bit as qualified I don't want to use the word better to have also won the Super Bowls with the same teams i'm absolutely will argue into Infinity if you think they couldn't do it with that in front of them go see Matthew Stafford with the Lions leading the league in interceptions throwing two interceptions nearly three with the Rams still getting a ring yeah that's right matthew Stafford has the clutch gene or did he have his gear in neutral while the other rest of the team says we got you man we're not gonna sit here and have a stupid debate about who's better matthew Stafford is still a Detroit Lion with a ring he never changed his spots he never did anything differently I just proved it the man led the league in interceptions that's not clutch He threw two interceptions in the Super Bowl is not clutch,


By the way nothing against Troy but one of those Buffalo games in the Super Bowl he had a horrible 1st half couldn't hit the broad side of a barn had some turnovers they were down by 10 and it took Emmett Smith and the defense to bail him out the same way Matthew Stafford got bailed out you want to have a real conversation don't call one clutch when one was lucky enough to be on a Super Bowl team and one was not like Dan Marino,

Begin to sit here and tell me that Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson Jim Mcmahon Hell I'll even throw the old Ravens quarterback if I can't remember his name off hand and then that should be pretty telling They are clutch are you trying to tell me they're clutch are you trying to tell me Eli's career was clutch or did guys catch stuff off their helmets and behind their backs and have a defense just flat out bail him out Yeah he played pretty well in the playoffs He got a Super Bowl MVP but he's clutch you're telling me that Eli Manning's clutch? lmaio

This is why we can't debate like an adult you all think a ring is what separates players and it's not a lot of it's luck and what team you ended up on if you have the skills like Prescott and Romo to prove they can play in this league you just put a team like that in front of them and they can also win the Super Bowl I don't know if they can win 3 I don't know but I've seen too many spare part quarterbacks get the championship games like Mark Sanchez and Bortles they're not better than Prescott they just landed on a better team..

All you ever need to do is watch Dak in person. The throws he doesn't see or doesn't make tells the real story and you'll never see that on TV. Saw all three in person, and Dak is by far the worst of the three. He's lucky that he played in this era.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Statistically only, Dak is better.

Aikman's numbers were the by-product of two things- the era he played in and the design of Dallas' offense. Anywhere close to the goal-line and Emmitt ran it in. That really cut into Troy's TD pass totals.

Prescott is a superior thrower of the football.
Neither one was great, to be honest- or is great.
Greatness is Joe Montana. Greatness is John Elway. Greatness is prolific passers.
Tom Brady was great.
Aikman and Eli Manning are basically the same player. Neither one of them was great, both benefited from great coaching, and great offensive and defensive lines, and very good to great running backs.
System quarterbacks.
Troy’s signature throw comes against San Francisco. and Eli’s comes in the Super Bowl by David Tyree.
But Prescott is a better thrower than both of them.

Wo wo ...Eli is the same as Aikman? Blasphemy

 

[phildadon86]

Aikman played with hall of famers. But I don’t knock him for that. It’s not necessarily about the names with Dak and Romo. It’s about the teams. How many rings should Dak and Tony have around Garrett and Wade Phillips as coach? How many rings should Dak have with Mazi Smith at DT or Jaylon Smith at linebacker? How many rings should Romo have those years Nate Livings and Bernadeau were his linemen?


The game has changed but one thing that hasn’t is the trenches being important to winning and the head coach. No one is serious about winning with Wade Phillips as head coach. I can’t even imagine Troy trying to win that way.

Do you want to go down the list of Hall of Fame players Dak and Romo played with? lol. This is whats wrong with this fanbase.

They will do ANYTHING to prop up someone whos been good but not great, even insult past greats.

You are kidding me right now with this right?

Dak had the luxury of coming into the league with 4 future HOFers already on his team (at the time Frederick would have been if not for a crazy illness). Martin, Smith, Frederick, Witten.

Thats 4.

Romo - Owens, Witten, Ware, Frederick, Martin, and Smith - By my count thats 6

Aikman - Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Larry Allen, Charles Haley, Deion Sanders - thats 5.

Get lost already with your nonsense.

This is quite possibly the worst take I have ever seen here. Kudos, well done…….

 

[jaybird]

Some of the Speakeasy crew said Dak was better than Aikman and Romo. Romo can be contested but to say Dak is better than a HOF, and one of the most accurate playoff QB in NFL history, is absurd.

Aikman was a far better college QB and pro QB than Dak. No disrespect to Dak, but "I know Troy and you sir (Dak) are no Troy Aikman.

Agree 100 percent. I’m a fan of Dak. Dak a good Qb and a great citizen. But Aikmen was unbelivable in the tournament. He play wad superb when it matter the most. Dak deserves a championship as did Romo.
Staubach is just a living legend. Nobody will ever reach that level of heroism of Roger, but Troy is a solid second.

 

[CowboysFanLover]

I don’t think so Troy never choked

If Troy never choked then Troy would have won 11 straight Superbowls from his rookie year to his retirement so that statement is ridiculous

 

[Illiniferret]

Troy spent most of the regular season handing the ball to Emmitt. He spent the playoffs beating teams who geared up to stop the run. Troy showed up at nut cutting time.

 

[leicafan]

Lobster or crab fish

 

[jazzcat22]

Aikman over Romo and Dak.
No second thoughts.

Probably Danny White also.
