Was Aikman overrated?

[RomoIsGod]

Me and a buddy are in a disagreement. He says Aikman was overrated and he's in the Hall of Fame because he was on a great team and that he was a bus driver.
I said to him, without Aikman Cowboys don't win 3 Super Bowls if any at all. Aikman did what he had to do and it wasn't about gawdy stats but if Aikman had to put up big numbers than he could have.

Troy had a great team around him, that said, he is a deserving HOF player. Very accurate, great competitive drive and a great leader.

No. Seriously no.

Also, Aikman was money in the playoffs.

Your friend's self-perception of his football knowledge is overrated.

Get a new friend…….

He also said Emmitt Smith isn't even in the top 10 of all-time running backs. I say he's top 5.

 

[HungryLion]

Not at all. If Aikman played in todays nfl he would be a perennial MVP candidate.

 

[mrmojo]

Your friends is like every other person/media that try and discount that 90s dynasty.....the Cowboy hate is real...

 

[Runwildboys]

Is your friend a Philly fan, or is he too young to have actually watched Aikman in action?

 

[RomoIsGod]

Niners fan.

Aikman's passing game was held back by Emmitt Smith's running ability. Listen to what Jimmy Johnson says about Aikman, it will dispell this nonsense about Aikman's lack of ability and stats

With aikmans timing and accuracy. In the modern nfl and db’s not being able to play physical. He would complete over 70% of his passes.

 

[Bobhaze]

If your friend thinks Troy Aikman was overrated I would then deduce your bud is not a very astute football guy.

 

[AbeBeta]

No. He was deadly accurate.

It was a much less passing oriented league back then. His stats are never going to compare to someone from 20 years later

 

[JayFord]

Your friend sounds like he just thinks "Dallas bad....nothing they do is credible"

Aikman wasnt overrated he was a field general and he played in an era where teams gave the ball to their RB 25-30 times a game

Emmitt wasnt overrated either and people saying he had a line is an awful excuse ...youre supposed to have a good linr

 

[Runwildboys]

He also said Emmitt Smith isn't even in the top 10 of all-time running backs. I say he's top 5.

So the still reigning, possibly perpetual all time leading rusher isn't even a top 10 running back? Does your friend have to wear a helmet at all times?
