McNabb has never won a Super Bowl.
Championships do not determine greatness. Teams win championships.
Romo is a top 5 QB in the league (Brady/P. Manning/Brees/Rivers) because every week we have a chance to win.
In case everyone has forgotten the great Brady didn't do squat this week and they lucked out with a win the first week, they should be 0-2, I doubt folks are jumping off that bandwagon.
I'm sorry, I don't believe that Romo is a top 5 QB right now.
And I know you probably won't agree, but I would take Aikman over all those guys you just listed. He was not just a part of a great team, he was a GREAT PLAYER on those great teams. A hall of famer.
Aikman's play, in games where Kelly turned the ball over, in games when Young turned the ball over, in games when Favre turned the ball over... when it wasn't this watered down version of NFL football but you had MAMMOTH teams battling each other, outshined them head to head. He was a major reason, not the only reason, but a major reason we beat those teams that had those QB's that everyone loves their stats.
Not every time. No one does every time. But he did it again and again in playoff games, NFC Championship games and Super Bowls.
You guys want to imagine that Romo shows that kind of leadership, good decision making, and the kinds of qualities that made Aikman the hall of famer that he was. Well, I'm sorry. Stats don't tell the story. He ISN'T that right now.
I want him to be. I GREATLY HOPE for him to be. I watch this team every single game, I'm going to the game this Monday, I WANT A SUPER BOWL WIN for our team again. And I'm rooting for Tony every step of the way. But to this point, I'm sorry, he has wilted in some big situations. Lets hope that changes THIS YEAR. I believe it can. I rooting for it to happen. But he won't be great by simply declaring him to be.
