Lets just hope it doesn't also match the number of championships they won. I know Don and Eddie played in pretty bad teams and didn't stand a chance though.

Wow, and Romo is the leader among active quarterbacks. Very impressive.

Wow, and Romo is the leader among active quarterbacks. Very impressive.

Not only that, he's also the leader for any quarterback who has played since 1976. Earl Morrall is the most recent guy ahead of Romo, and he has been out of the league for 33 years.

Its also pretty sad when Jay Cutler and J.P Losman ranked higher than Troy Aikman on that list I guess it also shows how much the game has changed to passing league too.

That means percent of passes for touchdowns correct?

Aikman didn't throw many TD passes in his career, mostly because Emmitt Smith is the all-time leader in rushing TDs. It's easier to hand off and be sure than to throw it and take a chance.

In fact, of all QBs with over 30,000 passing yards (I count 33 of them), only Kerry Collins has a lower career TD% than Aikman.

Adam: Please update this board on the comp picks we should have coming. I've been under the impression for almost a year now that we should have one for Canty and one for Burnett. Am I correct?

Thanks
