I Like Fate Best When She Smiles On Us

Me not being a BIG Troy Aikman fan I think a couple of them QB's could have done just as good as Aikman did.

It amazes me how some people can be so clueless

Norv still hasn't found his next Aikman.

Well, Aikman constantly credits Norv for turning around his career. See his Hall Of Fame presentation.

Look, Troy was great. I'm the last person who would ever dispute that. Even in a team sport like football in which you rely SO heavily on the rest of your team in order to be personally successful, you're judged by your accomplishments. I get all that.

But I don't think he'd be in the Hall Of Fame today with 3 Super Bowl rings if he was drafted by a bottom-feeder like the Cardinals. And I doubt anyone here would disagree with this opinion.

Of course, I don't KNOW that he wouldn't have still found a way to have a tremendous career.

Just like I don't know what other QBs would have done if they were Cowboys.

Chris Chandler is a QB Hos brought up. Chandler spent the first 9 years of his career on poor teams (Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, Phoenix, LA Rams, Houston Oilers), before landing with Atlanta in 1997 and playing in the next 2 Pro Bowls. There's no telling what the guy could have done early on if he was drafted into a better situation instead of toiling from loser to loser in his first 9 years.

That's all I'm sayin'.

I see what you are saying... but sometimes those poor teams are a result of poor decision making of the QB. QB's that have not been successful shouldnt get a "get off the hook" pass because team was bad.... not always anyways...


Of course Aikman credits Norv... as he should... .but it works both ways.... Aikman had to be smart and "receptive" to Norv.... you cant say that alot of QB's are built that way.
