Troy Aikman's criticism of Dak

[Bleu Star]

I mentioned this elsewhere but felt it was worthy of a bigger discussion.

I've recently lost some respect for Troy.. Someone that, during his time, cemented an abundance of great Cowboys memories in my mind.

Once a Cowboy, always a Cowboy IMHO. Troy could have already gotten off of his butt and helped Dak. Instead, he chooses to sit back and criticize. This is very basic and simple. Troy will always be a Dallas Cowboys. Why couldn't he open the door to working with our young QB to help improve his game? I'm sure there are a number of cues that Troy could give Dak regarding timing, anticipation, etc.

I just feel as though Troy has taken the wrong approach altogether.. Weak sauce.

With what criticism? Was it accurate?

 

[Batman1980]

Troy is an overly critical analyst, it's Romo that I wish would help Dak but that's not happening.

Troy has helped Dak ........ and he is a supporter of Dak.

 

[zenmastersauce]

Troy should be as fair to anyone when in that booth. It's not a problem because it's just noise outside of what he (Dak) should focus on. Let Troy say his worst. If Dak ends up equalling some of his accomplishments, he will likely sing a different tune.

Sup, brotato chip

I think you're hurt by the comments way more than Dak ever will be.

Troy is an analyst now - his job is to analyze football and players of football. Nothing Troy has said about Dak isn't blatantly true. And Troy doesn't owe it to Dak, or the Cowboys organization, to "help Dak out".

I have always felt that about troy. He calls games like the way he played. He wants and expects perfection from everyone.

Not a bad trait as a player, but not the greatest trait for an announcer to have.

How do you know that that has not already occurred? Troy just speaks from a Quarterbacks perspective and says what is pretty much what everyone says regarding Dak. What specifically did Troy say that is so different from the narrative?

Was it me or did Aikman seem high/drunk yesterday. Red and bloodshot.

I feel the exact same way

Troy criticizes every play even when the receivers drop the ball...... it has become super annoying

Romo hadn't thrown an NFL pass at Dak's age and Troy's first 3 years were very rough

Nobody has supported Dak more than Troy. He defended him over and over and over until he just couldn't anymore.

Dan and his "three horrible quarters before awakening in the fourth" approach must end. The defense can't do this every single game. Eventually, you have to be good the whole game.

Last night was wonderful, but it's still the Achilles of this team. Shutting down Seattle's run game was the key, but that won't always happen (see Indy).

 

[Bleu Star]

Perhaps he has helped Dak but I would imagine that would have made it at least to the twittersphere. (&. it hasn't)

Yes. He is overly critical in general and that works for him. It's his award winning schtick. But, at the end of the day, that's his QB too.

It can and will. It's go time. The defense is dialed in.

He did seem a little off. Might have had some vino before game time.

Exactly. Once a Cowboy.. Always a Cowboy. Again.. IMHO

Troy has said glowing things about Dak all season during mid-week interviews that I have seen. He’s just calling it as he sees it during the game.

 

[Paradox]

Troy criticizes everyone. He criticized Romo for a majority of his career too, and the front office. He also changes his opinion periodically, like all analysts. He has 3 rings and a microphone. He's gonna give you his 2 cents and you're gonna bend over and take it like a man.

 

[WillieBeamen]

What kinda crap is this? LOL

It isnt Troy’s job to help Dak.
