How Did Aikman Win Three Super Bowls?

[RoboQB]

Just some info here:

The salary cap began in 1994... just after Dallas had won back to back SBs.
Many conspiracy theorists say it was meant to specifically dismantle the mighty Cowboys.
As Prime mentioned, there was a large gap between elite teams and the rest of the league.
And as Short said, the NFC Championship was the best game each year.

SF stole from Dallas to win SB in '94. Dallas returned to win it all in '95.
I can remember John Madden saying they were the worst 12-3 team he'd seen
at the start of Monday Night Football but SF had lost on Sunday and suddenly
home field was up for grabs. Dallas torched Arizona that night and secured home
field. SF never recovered, losing to GB. What happened next? Well, I'll just say this,
Brett Favre never won a game in Texas Stadium. (Look it up, young people... lol)

That final SB was won in spite of coaching. The players held together all season.
The leader... was Troy Aikman..... Royalty. Royalty, indeed.

Easy Answer:

He has a brain and used it in addition to his talent and arm.

Throughout the last drive, what was he saying as an announcer?

DO NOT GIVE THE BALL BACK TO AARON RODGERS!!

This team deserved to lose because they are STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!

Anyone who thinks we should have just scored a TD with 90 seconds left and relied on our defense (or any defense) to stop Rodgers is simply in denial also.

The correct question is how did he and that team not win more. I know why just a more relevant question imo.

What is the point of going on a long 8 1/2 minute drive at the end of the game if you are going to get in position to win the game, only to turn around and pass the ball on 2nd and 1 from the 11 yard line? It is totally inexcusable and moronic. They flat out choked any way you slice it.

One of the poorest calls I can remember. Just no excuse for it.

The worse part is there's enough talent to win, it's all coaching, attitude, and discipline....in other words COACHING.

That maybe true but there were many games they would not have won without him. He may have been the best strong arm/accurate QB in football.

Because Jimmy Johnson built the team and Jerry was forced out of his own way for the few years Jimmy was here is the reason Aikman has 3 Super Bowl rings.

He was also one of the most accurate passers of all time. When he threw the slant, the ball was between the 8s on Michael's jersey.

Garrett is a fool. Or you wanna blame Scott than fine. But after that Elliot run to attempt that fade was very stupid. Of course yes you need a TD. I get that. But why on earth call that play on first down. If it worked than you would giving Rodgers more time. Its so frustrating. This team is clueless on what it takes to be a championship team. We have no one who has won and know what it takes. This team has zero leadership. The coach in my opinion is in so over his head. He is not a great coach. Im sorry. This team has zero clue how to finish a game. Year after year we lose the same kind of games. Nothing changes. Same ol same ol. Thats on Management.

 

[ALBIT]

Losing but playing well has always always been acceptable here since Jimmy left. Thats 20 years of mediocre football. We lost but hey we played well. Thats not a winning formula. Losing should never ever be accepted. Period!!!!!

The team won 3 Super Bowls with Aikman at QB, if that's what you mean.
He played on a team with a suffocating defense, dominating offense and, great coaching.

Green bay and Aaron Rodgers (or anyone else) was not going to drive the ball the length of the field in 80 seconds on that team. He gets sacked or intercepted within the first play or two...no way Green Bay's oline holds them back.

Balanced team, everyone did their part. More disciplined also imo.

Aikman was the most overrated Cowboy QB ever. He rode Emmitt and Irvin all the way to the HOF. Once he lost Irvin, he was done.

I know it's fun to yell COACHING here but if you think that's the only thing missing with this year's defense I think you're kidding yourself. There are some talent and experience gaps, but they're also made worse by playing a dated scheme (aka, coaching).

Aikman did not win three superbows.
The Dallas Cowboys with Aikman as QB won three superbowls.

Three Super Bowl wins, and the defense never allowed more than 17 points in any of them.

The one year in those four where Dallas didn't win it, they lost to SF thanks to a pick six and 31 other points allowed. I guess he needed to put up 40 that day, so based on some current fans that's entirely his fault.

Right.

Just like the New England Patriots with Tom Brady as QB won 5 Super Bowls,
but nobody says it that way. The QB gets too much of the credit as well as too much blame.

 

[khiladi]

How do you leave Emmitt out of your post? Troy was the general, Michael was the catalyst, and Emmitt was the glue that held it all together. Without Emmitt, that team would have never been.

No doubt, I just mentioned Troy, because as a QB, it's usually about passing.

I gotcha. I shoulda mentioned that historic OL we had too. Just a well built team from top to bottom.
