Troy Aikman talks about Dak Prescott

[CowboyRoy]

That’s probably true, but, also no Cowboys team will win the SB w/ Dak as QB.

What are the chances that any QB wins a SB? His career is at least half over. YOru not really going out on a limb here. Chance are he will be here for another 3 or 4 years and then go somewhere for his over the hill years. You spend most of your career QBing for Jerry and your pretty much screwed.

Should’ve won it on his rookie deal.

Never stood a chance with Garrett.

LOL..........NO but really, Catch thinks we were winning it with Garrett and that defense.

This is the same guy that said Dalton would be better than Dak at QB. Same guy that said Mahomes wouldnt be a good QB in the NFL.

Yeah this quote by Romo gave me that impression too. Left me shaking my head that’s for sure.


On December 28, 2008, Tony Romo told us everything we needed to know about him. It was Week 17. The Cowboys had just lost to the Eagles by 38 points and were out of the playoffs. “If this is the worst thing that will ever happen to me,” Romo told reporters, “then I’ve lived a pretty good life.”

I guess that along with the Cabo trip? Lol

Agreed. Troy Aikman blasted Romo for taking the Cabo trip during the playoffs, and I'm sure this Romo response after losing solidified Aikman's personal feeling as a Cowboys QB not mentally up to standard requirements concerning Romo. If Troy felt differently about Romo, he wouldn't have said what he recently said in my opening post.

That was this teams best shot with him on a cheap deal.
The front office hamstrung him with Garrett.

 

[removed_20241105]

comment by Aikman seems meaningless but whatever. Every member of every team especially at QB knows the goal and what they will be judged by is Super Bowls. I don’t think Dak is the best QB since Aikman on this team so I’m not sure what this says about Dak. I could find many ways and reasons to compliment Dak but this ain’t one.

Dak is more media savvy I think and more conscious of his perception. Maybe this is some of that.

He also said this:

It's funny, you can get over the win pretty quick and get ready for the next opponent. When you lose, it just eats at you.... What could we have done? What should I have done? All those things. Just part of playing professional sports and sports in general.

And this:

I would have loved to have had the start that Tom Brady did, won a couple of Super Bowls early, but I wasn't good enough at the time. I have to get better. You start to understand that all the talk and noise really don't matter. Every quarterback goes through the same thing. You have to keep getting better; your team will keep getting betterand you'll have a chance.

Shot at Romo?

It’s a shot at every QB that’s been after Aikman except for Dak.

 

[Kwyn]

Wow. certain that if we win the Super Bowl we”ll follow up with several examples of does, but hey, my wife is looking out for #1a year or rwo of dominicance.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Never stood a chance with Garrett.

It's a process.

Dak cares so much that he wanted 40 million a year and hurt the talent pool of the team. Dak cares so much that he keeps making the same rookie mistakes in the playoffs.

If his next contract has him accepting a pay cut to help the team, then I'll say he actually cares and isn't just looking for more payday.

Dak's last three cap hits were $17M (2021), $19M (2022), and $26M (2023). How did those cap hits hurt the talent pool?

Same guy that said Parsons would be the next Jaylon Smith….

Yuck. Forgot all
About that. Makes my skin crawl.

Talk that Talk Troy!!

 

[starman22]

Shot at Romo?

It must be if the OP posted it.

 

[Toro9]

It must be if the OP posted it.

I've never heard Troy take a direct shot at Romo but throughout Tony's career you can hear Troy talking bad about how the offense is run, etc.

 

[Big D]

Shot at Romo?

Pappy.

 

[America's Cowboy]

lol...no. It's really about what Troy said about Dak. But since you brought up Romo, why did Troy say what he said and not include Romo with the praise he just gave Dak?
