Troy Aikman: Yards are not what we should be looking at

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yep cause only in fantasy worlds will Prescott ever get a top 5 contract from any team!!!
Mark it.....see and I didn't need to use any 4 letter words.....

1) You know what you were doing when you said he can only play for Wakanda.
2) You are slow.
3. Wakanda is real.

I literally said this exact thing in a thread on Sunday and was told I was a hater.

Well...if the shoe fits lol.

Tell that to the Dak slobberers who think he should be paid 800 million a year based solely on stats.

Someone tell that to Carson Wentz.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Well...if the shoe fits lol.

There you go again trying to take these lovely forums of ours to places they don't belong!!!

According to Forbes, the highest paid professional athlete for 2020 is Roger Federer at $106 million.

Your exaggeration is nearly eight times larger.

Has there ever been a post or thread created, by a member emphasizing Prescott's importance as an NFL and Dallas Cowboys quarterback, pertaining to statistics, etc., that remotely comes close to proclaiming he is EIGHT times better than... anything? I would enjoy reading that equally, comparably, grotesque exaggeration--if it exists.



Who thinks anyone would be paid $800 million? A year? Richie Rich???

Gimme your number on what you think he's worth...Years and guarantee. No exaggeration please.

Completely correct.

All the records will fall but its as though they were playing two different games.

its changed a TON just in the last decade, ket alone 30 years ago.

impossible to compare QBs stats unless the are time-adjusted.

Ryan Fitzpatrick just passed up Troy Aikman, Steve Young, and John Hadl on the all time passing list.

Today on The Ticket.

"NFL is now like the NBA. It doesn't matter what you do all game, it comes down to the last 5 minutes."

"400 yards is offense is not a a big deal anymore. Throwing for 400 yards isn't that hard to do."

True.

Mos every team comes back from big deficits. Used to be rare in Troy's day.

He added that CBA negotiations these days bring the owners more money and players less practice time, and it shows.

Wasn't criticizing Dak or quarterbacks in general, but was inferring that the league as a whole had changedichanged and is less disciplined.

Yup, it is soooooo easy that there have been 4 of them this season, Dak has 2 of them.

So why do you rarely talk about Cowboys? All you spew is hatred towards Dak and how he needs to go play for Wakanda.......

4 is a lot.

There's generally 10-20 400yd passing games every season now. Not a great big deal anymore.

Shouldn't he? He's been playing since 2005...that's 15 years.....Vinny Testerverde also has a lot of passing yards. You play a long time and you'll be high on the list.

Because posters keep responding to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My number may be off but 10-20 out of 512 games......doesnt' seem like that many to me.

Of course. However, you missed the point. The point is that volume passing yards doesn't equate to how good a player is. Testeverde is another example making that point, he was 8th all time when he retired.

So because people respond to him he can't control himself?

It is.

It does when you put things in context. It took Fitzpatrick 15 years to get to where Aikman was in 5 less years. I get your point. Its to devalue the stat of passing yards. I think you just have to put things in context when you bring up passing yards.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

It is.

It is what?

 

[kskboys]

So because people respond to him he can't control himself?

Absolutely. He craves attention and credence. No higher thinking from his side. Whenever anyone responds, he gets his little numnums all wadded and throws his anti-Dak posts. You can't have any sort of discourse w/ him.

Yup, it is soooooo easy that there have been 4 of them this season, Dak has 2 of them.

Only because Dallas has played two horrific defenses and has a horrific defense itself. Thus, high-scoring games with tons of possessions with almost 60 pass attempts a game.

Only takes 7 yards per attempt with that many throws. Most quarterbacks only throw 30-40 times a game.

 

[kskboys]

It is what?

A lot. That number means it's not special.
