Dak is a greater QB than Aikman?

[kskboys]

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.

Aikman is the best thrower of a football who ever donned a Cowboys uniform. Dak doesn't make the top 5 list, prolly not top 10. I mean, this isn't even close.

The Eli Aikman comparison is one of the most inane things ever said on this site.

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

Not how it works.

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.

Definitely not, here's how I would rank it. I guess I could be sold moving 3-5 around, but put White there based on his career winning percentage and 3 championship game appearances.

1. Staubach
2. Aikman
3. White
4. Prescott
5. Romo

Well, Aikman said Romo is a better QB than him.

Regardless, you can't put SB winners over non-SB winners, so it's always Staubach and then Aikman as 1) and 2).

Meredith is 3. It's really not close. Morton prolly is 4.

Not really you better re read the thread. Apparently there is internet in outer space because those of us who live here on planet earth never would have posted these "thoughts".

Because you're not capable.

I’m a Dak fan. Great qb vastly underrated by not only national media but by a lot of Cowboy fans. With that said, Troy was better. Dak will have all the stats when it’s all said and done but it’s a different era and football has changed. How many times did Troy ever throw 40-50 times a game ?

 

[DoctorChicken]

Dak and Romo have each had stacked teams and couldn't get the job done. Maybe not as stacked as Aikman's teams, but pretty darn close.

Can you give me a 22 man comparison that shows which teams Dak/Romo had that were superior or even equivalent to Aikman’s Super Bowl teams?

Or has our talent merely been overrated recently?

I keep seeing people compare Jaishawn to Rolando McClain. Like they believe it’s an ideal comp that makes them excited about the future.

People my age aren’t looking at a Ken Norton or a Deion or a Woodson or a Hayley or a Tolbert or a Maryland to look back and reminisce on.

We look at a few seasons of Sean Lee, or Rolando McClain, or Vander Esche, and think “ahhh… those were the good old days!”

To think this roster has been nearly as talented as those 90s rosters is just funny to me. Because it clearly has not been. We’ve seem to always have a good offense and a few guys that flash on defense, instead of a dominant version of both the way Aikman’s teams were built.

I was talking about the Eli /Aikman comp. There is way more idiotic takes in this thread than that.

 

[Ironicalicon]

Yeah, cause stats are everything.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Aikman has 3 Super Bowl rings.
Dak has 2 first-round playoffs wins.

you forgot his runner up in MVP's.

In today's pass happy NFL Troy would have dominated and won super bowls.

and would never have taken the beating he did at the beginning and end of his career

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

What a stupid post ........ just a load of crap.

I got a bad feeling about this being from a Giants fan posing to be a Cowboys fan perspective.

Hard to choke with a Dynasty.

hard to be a dynasty without a hof qb

 

[triplets_93]

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.

This is the story that doesn't get shown on TV, on purpose, I'm sure. The replays I want to see would show the whole field, and who was open and who wasn't. And the Networks rarely show that. Wonder why ? ? ? (Secret NFL "rules" ???)

 

[Fmart322]

Exactly. The rules today protect QBs so much better then they did when Troy played.

No its not. You have a team full of hall of famers chances are your QB will be good because of it. IF you have a team full of bums then you don't have a hall of fame QB.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Damn. And Dak was so proud of that.
