Troy Aikman on the SB and the future of the Dallas Cowboys

[basel90]

No criticism of Dak by Aikman lately. Probably due to the joint projects and the charity foundation with Dak and stay back , plus the media access to Dak. The cowboys PR machine and commercial power protects Dak.

I believe I'd like to see you back up this commentary with anything which supports your obvious opinion. Post anything that quotes Troy stating he needs 4 great receivers to win.
I agree on the offensive line aspect of this post. But to suggest he can't think outside of the prototype QB mentality as you suggest seems to imply he ain't that bright.

And I don't believe that for one second.

He said in the interview that a team's success these days depends on having a top 3rd receiver, and that it might take 4 receivers. He also stated that the Cowboys probably needed to get rid of Zeke, and as I noted, much of his success was having Emmitt's top running attack. Both of those statements indicate his focused on the passing attack, as is typical of ex-quarterbacks.

And yes, it is my opinion, how astute of you to notice, did you think this site wasn't about people's opinions?

I appreciate your opinion, thanks for sharing...

No other GM would be able to do what Jerry’s done for 28 straight years and not have been fired long ago.

Yeah, he said so himself awhile back....

Brady missed an entire season with an ACL in 2008. Other than that he stayed healthy. So far Mahomes hasn’t had any real serious injuries. You’re giving Andy Reid way too much credit for Mahomes’ success. It’s the other way around, if it wasn’t for Mahomes, Reid wouldn’t have never seen another Super Bowl. QBs make head coaches. All of Andy Reid’s success in Philly was due to Donovan McNabb. Once McNabb began to decline and Michael Vick took over it was downhill for Reid in Philly. He ended up getting fired with Vick as his QB. Any solid HC could win Super Bowls with Mahomes. Many tried to give Belichick most of the credit for Brady success in New England. They said Brady would never win a Super Bowl without him. Lol As soon as Brady left he immediately won a Super Bowl. Belichick on the other hand has struggled without him. He wasn’t anything special as a head coach before Brady arrived and he hasn’t been anything special since Brady left.

Ried sat Mahomes the first year. I think that was paramount, but I see your point.

He sat Mahomes, but he could’ve started as a rookie and been successful.

Letting Zeke go does not mean he doesn't understand the purpose and appreciation of a good running back. He is right, this game has morphed into a passing game. I'd still like to see the exact post where he said TOP WR's. I believe it is a leap to suggest Aikman doesn't understand the game.

Last point. Toughen up. You'd think with 9K om posts you'd get not everyone will take your comments as burning bush.

There isn't an exact quote, my opinion is based on interpretation of comments made, both in this video, prior comments, the position he played, other quarterbacks who've been gms as well.

Don't know what gave you the idea that I expect everyone to agree with my posts, or that I need to "toughen up", this is a forum for discussions and opinions, nothing more, just a way to pass the time and talk about the Cowboys.

No big deal....

Can he come back and be the GM???

Why? So fans could hate on him for not doing what the fans want him to do?

Mahomes wins 4 or 5 SB's and 5 MVP's, he will be the Goat imo. Regular season dominance is still important. I have never seen Brady dominate like Mahomes in the regular season.

Brady did win 7. However, an all time boneheaded throw and a collapse like never seen before aided him.

Counting championships can't be the only metric to go by.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Even if he is worse than Jerry at it?

The only way he can be worse right now is if he goes more than 28 years without winning a SB. I would bet on Aikman.
