QB value is largely determined by playoff success. Since that's the whole point of this whole thing.
Well I'm not talking QB value. I am saying comparative performance records favors Romo.
I agree that there are a lot of things Romo can do that Aikman couldn't.
I'm not sure what this sentence means.
Staubach and Aikman had many better teams than Tony did.
Defense has been a big problem too. 6 of his 9 years as starter we fielded shameful defenses.
I think that was partially by design though.
lol wut?
If you mean overall team talent and success, I agree. But offensively, this team is absolutely loaded. There's Pro Bowl talent at literally every single position, or at least there was last year.
that's part of it. I think we just sucked so bad at everything to do with defense for the last 10 years.
It was Colombo more than Free. But yeah everyone was horrendous that day.
No way Aikman makes it to the playoffs in 06 though. He would have been murdered like Bledsoe.
Sure would have. Aikman moved like an arthritic stork. All you had to do was get him to back pedal and he neutralized.
Aikman wasn't the greatest athlete, but he was 3x the athlete Bledsoe was when both were in their primes. I think Aikman could have had a real nice season that year, especially with Owens and Glenn to throw to.
He was a statue that needed great blocking and a great running game or else he was going to get beat up and injured. Look at his first three seasons in the league for what Aikman looked like without elite level help.
Just cause he got elite level help doesn't mean he needed it. Most QBs would have suffered on that shit team he started with.
Everyone is talking about how Tony would do with those 90's teams. A better hypothesis would be how Troy would do with the crap that has surrounded Romo for the past 7 years or so.
