Troy Aikman says Cowboys have as good a chance as any

[MarcusRock]

You can’t be serious.

Sarcasm.

 

[john van brocklin]

Yeah, I was thinking about the penalties when I said they played stupidly. Penalties were killers last year.

LOL, Penalties and stupidity go hand in hand at times....

 

[john van brocklin]

It was inevitable.

We had some key role players on cheap contracts in their contract years. Either we were going to lose them, or pay more for them, but either way we get worse.

I'll give them credit for getting great deals on Brown and LVE.
But we were going to lose talent, and we did.

Now, going into the season, we're talking up guys like Bohanna as starters. He was awful last year.

Yes, we gotta hope some of the young bucks step up and replace what we lost.
Of course this is true most off seasons.
This season more so.

 

[john van brocklin]

Lot of facts are posted.

True, their are facts posted, but most of what you get on sports forums are opinions.
Probably 80% to 90%.

 

[blueblood70]

we do he isn't wrong..ther are about 18 teams that have shot at it all.

 

[Runwildboys]

We lost several starters from last year.
We certainly have a less talented team.

On paper. Won't know for sure until they play.

 

[john van brocklin]

Yep, it's why they play the game.
We can speculate all day long...
Games are where the rubber meets the road.

I always loved watching him throw the football. He was always so accurate.

He not only tried to put the ball on the player, but asked the player what part of their body they wanted the ball at it.
Amazing.

I remember Mike saying he could just put his hands up without looking, and know the ball was gonna be there.

Troy was special, glad he played for us.
Got the SB's , got the Gold Jacket.
Pretty remarkable career...

And a pretty good commentator, when he's not rooting for the other team. (Just joking kids!)

 

[TequilaCowboy]

And Troy Aikman agrees.

“I don’t feel this team is as good as it was a year ago,” the three-time Super Bowl champ said Thursday of his former club during a call-in with The Ticket KTCK 96.7 FM/1310 AM. “It doesn’t mean that they’re not talented enough to go on and do all the things that they want to do, because I think that they are. I think they’re one of those teams that, as you look at the landscape of the NFL and certainly the NFC, you feel the Cowboys have as good a chance as any of them. So we’ll see how it goes.”

“Even though last year they lost that game,” Aikman said, “I think everybody came out of that game going, ‘Wow, this team has a chance to be pretty good.’ I know I was impressed with what I saw. I’m hopeful that they go out and play at the level that they’re capable of, and if they do that, then I think Tampa has their issues as well. I think they can get off to a really great start.”

Of course anyone has a chance. You buy a lottery ticket and hope you win. You don't win if you don't enter. Troy is the master of the obvious many times. And i don't think anyone came away impressed last year after the Cowboys loss. We saw them as who they are. And it did not look good. He is right about one thing..... we will see.

Agreed, one of the best.
Glad he did not lose his marbles with all those concussions....

I always loved watching him throw the football. He was always so accurate.

Irvin said in a doc that if he closed his eyes, 80% of the passes would hit him in the hands.

 

[G2]

That's an optimistic view, but it could play out that way.
Hopefully none of them will be missed.
We are certainly thin at WR.

We don't know that yet, there hasn't been a single snap yet. But, Cooper played his best in Dallas so I don't worry the next guys up will work well w/ Prescott.

Yes sir, we don't know anything until the games are played.
We just like to speculate here in the off season.

 

[Proof]

Fans need to stop weeping over Cooper. CeeDee outplayed him last season anyways. Dallas's young new WR's will show up. Moore has plenty of weapons for his playbook yet once again.

yeah, the point is we could still have both, and would be better off for it.

No offensive line means we have no chance…

What makes you think we have no O-line?

 

[xwalker]

Don't get mad at me. I already said I trust the people at the zone more then I do some buffoon named Troy Aikman. He probably doesn't even know who Jerry Jones is. Just some talking head on TV imo.

Why are you on a message board?

Just watch ex players on TV.

Everytime Belichick loses a game those experts on TV can explain what he should have done. They like played the game at the NFL level and stuff which means they know more than Bill Belichick about football.

Jimmy probably calls Aikman before going on TV for Aikman to explain football stuff to him.

Ex players are also not bogged down thinking about non football stuff considering that their average IQ is far below the national average.
