Tony, I love you man

[Winplease]

Too young to see Staubach, 5 years old when Aikman won his last Super Bowl, witness of the Stoerner/Wright/Carter/Hutchinson/Henson years, nothing but love for Tony Touchdown. It's been a life of many-a-heartbreak.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Not in my opinion. Certainly Super Bowl wins make the case an easier argument but, it isn't the measure for great players. A lot of amazing players never get the shot. All for the same reason. Anyone who says Marino and Moon were not "great" QB's should have their pants around their ankles and beaten.

2 hall of famers. Tony wont sniff the hall. I hope you're not comparing romo to Marino.

Tony will not sniff the hall? We got a place for you in the geriatric ward too.

Funny joke. You really think he will make the hall of fame?

 

[Cebrin]

Funny joke. You really think he will make the hall of fame?

Absolutely. He's on path to obliterate Aikmans numbers. He's already crushed his TD's and he's played 5 less years with a much lesser football team around him. Not to mention he should crush his yards in maybe two more seasons or less. Why not? He's a damn good QB.

Tony is a fun player but GOAT in Dallas History? Wow I didn't get to see Roger or Dandy don Bob Hayes Tony D etc... But I've seen the highlights and just because you only started paying attention since the 90's it's hard to actually consider those players. But let's be honest here as a 90's teenager I would not put Romo in my top 10 and to omit Aikman or Irvin or Emmitt is foolish. I don't think you really appreciated what you were witnessing and I still don't think you do. Tony has been a fun player for 7 years but not a chance he will ever be the greatest Cowboy unless he brings the championship back to Dallas. He will be considered another Danny White with less post season accomplishments. Also unless he throws for 45,000-50,000 yards he will not get close to the HOF without a ring.he does not have the skins on the wall in post season and with all the 8-8 records he doesn't have the wins either.

I agree with this. Too bad HOF voters don't see it this way. I would sell my soul for one Super Bowl, then maybe he would be a first ballot, otherwise a sure ring of honor member with some hall consideration. Romo is the GOAT of Dallas QB's

Aikman has rings. That's what the game is about and ultimatley, how romo will be judged by in the end.

2 different eras and I would take Aikman any day and twice on Sundays he was clutch. Stop putting down great players to prop Tony up. I like romo a lot but this is just not even right. Aikman sacrificed his body for this team and took a beating and probably played one of if not the most impressive SB's ever by a QB and his post season success was awesome I've never seen a guy flick his wrist and throw darts with pure accuracy like that especially when the league allowed the DB's to hang on WRs it was a thing of beauty.

Also forgot to mention Aikmans accomplishment of 95 wins in the 90's was one of the best decades for a QB with wins.

 

[Bay10]

Romo is so under appreciated.

Agreed to some extent although, Aikman is overrated. Alex Smith could have won 3 Super Bowls with that team.

 

[TrailBlazer]

It's ridiculous and down-putting to put romo in a class with someone who won this franchise multiple superbowls.

You must be joking. Rings, that is what matters. If Tony gets one, he'll have a chance.

Not even close Aikman was surely not overrated man how under appreciated that guy is by fans. He was special his talent and arm were special. He could place that ball anywhere at anytime. He was deadly accurate when the rules didn't favor the offense like they do today. If the rules if yesterday applied to today's NFL you would not have all these good QBs. As anyone wondered why all these rookies and young QBs have been successful? Because the rules favor them. It was so much harder to develop QBs in the 70-80-90's. Come on put this into context here.

Two different Era's? That's your excuse? Jesus. There was no cap. Dallas reigned in stud players. I would say that team could have won with a solid QB but, they in fact did. Aikman was a good QB. He road in to those championships with what today could be the NFC pro bowl team. Literally, they could probably compete against the AFC Pro Bowlers.

 

[Cebrin]

We're getting off subject here. Romo. Today is about Romo. Lol

It's a pass happy league now and numbers are inflated. But rings don't lie. That's what matters most. And you can't minimize what aikman did for this franchise.

Aikman was overrated. It's my opinion and I am not the only one who holds it. The most touchdowns he ever threw in a season was 23! It's the only time he even escaped the teens. Seriously?!

Aikman didn't ride anything he helped take a down and out franchise to the next level. All I got? Wow man all I need is his wins post season accomplishments and the cornerstone that brought this team back from the depths of trash. All I need give me a break. What he got 5 years with no cap? Lets not act like it was his whole career. Lets not forget that his only was a bunch of castoffs outside of drafting Williams and LA. Don't forget that was the same line that almost got Aikman killed to the tune of 12 sacks.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

I hate Tony Romo,,, if it wasn't for all his heroics we would be picking at the top of the draft every year.
