[BigDFan5]

Troy's career high passing TD total was 23, today romo has matched that with his 23rd toss

Aikman's career high for TDs in a season was 24 which Romo has passes with 25



I can not believe how great this kid is playing!

There is something about Romo. I never got to personally see Staubach play, but from replays and reading over the years, I get the impression that he always gave you the sense that the very next play could turn it all around. That there was always a chance no matter how bad things might look.

I get that from Romo. Aikman, I never got that from. He was the best at taking what a defense gave him, but Romo seems to MAKE the defense give him something. It's a totally different feeling.

Hopefully the football gods don't strike me down for saying that.

Passing Aikman stat wise isnt hard..It's the number of rings that count.

It really is a fairy tale story. You just don't see UDFA turn into elite QB's that often and that is what Romo has become an elite QB

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Yep and that UDFA totally outplayed the #1 overall pick (at least he would have been if he hadn't demanded a trade).

I bet the teams in the NFC East are just sick when they think about the great luck we have had at getting a Quarterback .

Im listening to Mike and Mike right now,

They are going over a quote supposedly Bill Parcells said to Wellington Mara, the late owner of the the NY Giants.

After a meaningless game against the Giants in 2004, Parcells supposedly walked up to Wellington Mara and said "Well at least you guys have a quaterback".

Fast forward 3 years....

Like the great Lee Corso says, "Not so fast my friend".

It is hard to fathom a 40+ TD season from a Dallas QB, but Romo is currently on pace.

This is great. But how can Troy have two career highs?

 

[thurmansthieves]

Total TDs in a season combines his passing and rushing TDs. That number was 24. His season high in passing alone was 23. Seems mediocre considering what a great QB he was. I guess it just emphasizes the fact we did have a monster running game and Emmitt did score alot.

I get what you're saying. Not taking anything away from Aikman, but not even when he was the QB did I have the feeling we could win any game, down by two TDs or whatever, as long as Romo is behind center. That's how Staubach was - I like that in a QB.

Agreed. I feel like we have a chance to score or win when we get the ball back. Its a good and missed feeling.

I dont know if agree about the Aikman part. I felt like when he was throwing that we could score and win. Maybe not as much as Romo. But I was still confident in Aikman. It was never over until the 60 mins were up in my mind.

One more thing about Aikman - he didn't have a lot of chances to bring his teams back when they weren't down to begin with.

 

[vicjagger]

I have no problem with the first and third sentences, but that second one is a real head-scratcher.

Romo is doing great, but remember, While Aikman was amassing his TD records, Emmitt Smith was setting NFL records.
