What are they suppose to say? Both Aikman and Staubach are very humble they certainly aren't going to say they were better than Romo but they were better and everyone but a few FANS like you who put stats above everything else knows they were better. Ask Romo who was better and he'll tell you both Staubach and Aikman were better. There's things that Romo does that are better than both and they had things they did that were better than Romo but QB's are ultimately judged by how far they lead their team and Romo has never led the Cowboys past the second round of the playoffs. He doesn't have near the playoff record that Staubach and Aikman had. His regular season numbers are much better than Staubach and Aikman's due to playing in a pass happy era where the rules have been designed to perfect all QB's. Even average QB's have more yards, TD's, higher completion percentages and higher passer ratings than many HOF QB's from decades ago because the game has changed. All these QB's are breaking franchise passing records and have higher passer ratings than their predecessors from decades ago.
Both Staubach and Aikman could have put up huge numbers had they played in the same offensive system under the same rules that Romo has. QB's were brutalized during Staubach and Aikman's era and only Fouts, Marino and Moon put up the kinds of numbers we see today and their offensive systems played a big part. It's 4 and 5 receiver sets utilizing multiple TE's and the numerous rule changes that have opened up the passing game helping QB's like Romo and many others produce ridiculous numbers. You see that Romo has better numbers in every statistical category than Staubach and Aikman therefore in your eyes that makes him the better QB. True or False? You dodge practically every question I ask because you feel cornered but at least answer this did you grow up watching Staubach and Aikman?
