someone mentioned Bomani comparing Romo with Aikman stats..

but Romo's legacy is that of postseason failures, and choking...and now getting hurt... compare all the numbers you want...but that and no rings is large part of Romo's legacy..

Aikman's legacy is leading a dynasty..... and 6 straight pro bowls.. with solid numbers...

ain't no footage anywhere of Michael Irvin crying saying that's my Quarterback...because Troy Aikman never put his team in that type of situation..he won super bowls with them...


plus...

lets look at the all-time leading rushers in nfl history

1. Emmitt
2. Walter
3. Barry
4. Curtis martin
5. LaDanian
6. Jerome Bettis
7. Eric Dickerson
8. Tony Dorsett
9. Frank Gore
10. Jim Brown
11. Marshall Faulk
12. Edgrin James
13. Marcus Allen
14. Franco Harris
15. Thurman Thomas

of all the guys on that list....let's list the HALL OF FAME WORTHY(or could be) QBs that played multiple years with any of them..

Troy Aikman
Roger Staubach
Kurt Warner
Peyton Manning
Terry Bradshaw
Jim Kelly

ok... Warner....Kelly....and Manning all played with RBs on that list who were also prolific pass catchers in Marshall, Edge and Thurman... Those guys obviously passed a lot more than the other on that list..and their hall of fame RBs were a part of that passing game...

so...that leaves the 3 of Aikman....Staubach....and Bradshaw..

Bradshaw's stats are obviously better than Aikmans because eventually the Steelers because a pass first team..moving away from running Franco and Blier first.... and he had 2 Hall of Fame WRs....and called his own plays...

Staubauch's numbers are better than Aikmans.... but again....his offense eventually evolved into a more pass oriented...shotgun offense..

Aikman's offense NEVER evolved into a pass first offense....sure he had a hall of fame WR...but none of those QBs I listed here had a Running back that ran for more yards than Emmitt....and played with him for as long as any of those other guys had their RB... Emmitt never slowed down during Aikman's reign...the Cowboys never added more weapons beyond Irving really..in fact..they seemed to have worse WRs lined up opposite Mike as the years progressed....they went from having Alvin Harper to Stepfret Williams........smh...

For Aikman to put up the numbers he put up...to lead his team to the success he led them...while being the Qb for the all time leading rusher ...all that is pretty impressive..

him getting in the hall of fame was a no brainer
