Staubach v. Aikman v. Romo

[Doomsday101]

Can't compare Romo to Roger and Troy yet, wait until his career is over and he has had to play on some "crap" teams like Roger and Troy had to at various points in thier careers.

Aikman would have put up monster stats had he been on a pass happy team instead of a balanced offense. Roger, same thing.

Maybe they would put up moster stats if they were in a pass happy team but do we win the championships? Troy always said he cared more about winning the SB than putting up the numbers of guys like Bleadsoe who was the leading passer in 94 or Marino, Young or Favre. What made Dallas a dominate team was the fact we were balanced

Romo shouldn't even be in the same conversation with Aikman and Staubach

THIS, x 1000!!

You can float all the stats and numbers concerning Romo out there you want, but the ONLY ones that matter, are Roman, and appear after the words "SUPER" and "BOWL".

It took more than Troy to get the SB rings. He was part of a great team that consisted of a HOF WR, HOF RB one of the top defenses in the league and an Oline second to none.

Staubach, Aikman then Romo....

Yup


Only way that changes is if Romo gets a couple of rings and improves with time.

 

[Aikmaniac]

Troy and Roger do have rings guess what 52 other players get rings it is not just the QB. Dallas put more on Romo to carry this team than they did with Troy, we don't have the league all time leading rusher do we or an offensive line that was great and had big time depth behind them should a player go down. Troy did. I love what the job Troy did for the Cowboys but he was never asked to carry the load as Romo is being asked to do.

I have no doubt that Troy Aikman, in his prime, would have thrived if he was asked to carry a team.

I never had the pleasure of seeing Staubach play live so I have to bow out of this argument.

However, I have full confidence that Tony Romo IS a championship-calibre quarterback and we should be absolutely ecstatic that he is our QB.

Dallas won championship because we had a great team. Troy was very good so was Dan Marino he has no ring why because he did not have the team that Troy was able to play with and help achive what is a team goal. Troy never had to carry this team and if or when we can get to the point that Tony does not have to carry this team our chances of getting a SB ring with him will increase.

He's a championship caliber QB when he wins a championship. Until then he's a distant third.

Then Dallas better get the Oline to help him. Troy sure as hell had a line with top starters and backups some who were good enough to start for many teams in the league. We have 1st string Oline with little behind it.

This is what is unrealistic in these conversation the QB is singled out yet it is those around the QB that play a big part in what the team will achive or not.

Staubach / Aikman is a hard choice. Both had great running games that took away many passing attempts.
If I had to make a choice, it would be Aikman. He was pinpoint deadly accurate and could have much better numbers if he was in the pass happy league as it is today.

Romo can be up there, but to me just isn't there yet.

And where is Danny White in your comparison, since SB's shouldn't be a factor. His number equalled if not surpassed Staubach's.

Thing is Romo accuracy is not bad he is hitting 63.4% Aikman over his career 61.5% Fact is Romo will not get his due until his playing days are done because there is no way you can compete vs. a HOF QB

As for White good QB but he was not as accurate as Romo is and his TD to int not as good either.

 

[rgcowboys]

How are you comparing Romo to Staubach or Aikman? I think Romo is a good QB but he shouldn't be mentioned with the other 2 yet.

I did not ask the question I only responded to it. In terms of the individual play Romo has done a very good job. I keep seeing Championship and I have said it 1000 times that is a team accomplishment not an individual. If SB were based on QB alone there are some QB who have rings on their fingers who could not hold a candle to the likes a QB who has no ring like Marino. The best QB's do not always go to SB the best teams do.

Burma this is why I dont like to post here.

Read correctly please> Its an opinion and dont think I am implying anything else other than what is written. When I said Staubach was in good company it was during the SB yrs won. But the formula to victories were defense and running game. Go watch the games.

Never did I am imply or write that Staubach started prior the 71 season and I am aware he came in during the 71 season vs. the Bears put up good numbers but lost. There was a battle between him and SB V losing QB Craig Morton. Yeah the team was good enough to make it to the SB without Staubach which was my point.

I did not speak of any other years other than SB winning years. Ok he had a seperated shoulder in 72' not apart of what I am saying. I only keyed in on SB years because those accomplishments are being given to him as if he won them all by himself.

Break through for the first SB win. Man we set the SB record at the time for rushing yards on SB VI. How did Staubach break through??? and a defense that didnt even allow a TD which was a SB record to for the defense. In SB XII how do two DEFENSIVE players get co-MVP because the defense dominated.

I am also aware of the declining defense thoughout the years but again you failed to see that I only spoke to two years 71 and 77 because some seem to hoist those wins soley on Staubach and you further prove my point in that when the defense declined they didn't win the SB. When the defenses were DOOMSDAY quality they were champs. My comments are about the SB winning years where the running game and defense won the Championships. watch the games please. Again this is my opinion so dont say that I am wrong about anything. What you've implied that I might have said is the reason I do not post.

The Pittsburgh and refs being bought off is pure speculation. Do you have proof? a money trail? Because I can speculate that the NFL is bought off every year and that a winner is hand picked for a strategic growth of the NFL enterprises.(sarcasm)

Then you say I have no clue as to the rules prior 78 thats sad. You reach to knock me down and I dont know why. I didnt talk about stats. I didnt say romo is better because of such and such stat. if I did then I would grant you that I am oblivious to the rule changes. I said romo did more with less. Romo has done what is asked of him but still needs a supporting cast for a TEAM championship. Then you ended it with playoff wins. DUDE ITS A TEAM sport playoffs and super bowls are won with RUNNING games and DEFENSES...when the cowboys get back to that as a whole regardless of rule changes Romo will be in good company. Am I not explaining myself. I am not taking shot at Staubach or Aikman I love them just showing my point of view. You say I am wrong but you're not understanding what I am saying. Sorry

1. Roger Staubach - without a doubt the best to ever wear the

2. Troy Aikman - Brutally Acurate

3. Danny White - So under-appreciated it is ridiculous

3. Don Meredith - Same as with White

4. Tony Romo - Championship calliber, but one playoff win doesn't equal best in team history. Maybe in 5 years I will be moving Romo up

Emmitt is the best ever to wear the star, and if you exclude Super Bowls and Playoff wins Tony Romo is the best QB to wear the star.

:laugh1:You exclude a few more things and he could probably be the best player ever in the LPGA. Are you kidding me Romo2Austin??!?!?! Exclude the Super Bowls and Playoff wins?!?!?!

AND BTW, even if in your little fantasy world where you exclude these things like they are nothing, Romo is STILL not the best QB.

His stats blow Staubachs and Aikmans out of the water up until this point, and if your going to tell me Pearson/Hayes and Irvin/Novacek are worse receivers than Owens/Witten Austin/Witten its not by much.

I agree. I would love to have Romo behind that Oline with Eric Williams, Mark Tuinie, Nate Newton Mark Stepknoski, Larry Allen, John Gesek and Kevin Gogan. Heck Dallas had very good starter and guys on the bench who could play. Romo gets the likes of Procter?

Charles Haley. NO COMPARISON...............the players are bigger and faster and stronger.

Sarcasm or do I actually have some support in this argument?
