Aikman one of the reasons I became a cowboys fan for life.

[@raulmar8155]

Bueno, supongo que eras un niño cuando Aikman jugaba, ahora vuelve a ver sus jugadas y te darás cuenta que Troy tenía muy pocas cualidades, de hecho solo tenía un brazo potente, carecía de todo lo demás que un buen QB debe tener.

[@jasoncardoza6375]

That’s pretty depressing 😂

[@tracyannpardue1530]

You can't have just a good arm and win as many Super Bowls as Aikman.

[@cs292]

Jerry Jones the reason I’m not anymore.

[@edwardbenton8323]

A 3 time champion and an MVP of the Superbowl.

[@VH1984]

And 6 time pro bowler and Walter Payton winner. He always put the team above himself. He would hold people accountable which got him bad press but that's what leaders do. Great QB - very underrated.

[@HiFi5280]

One of the greatest arms ever! Velocity, accuracy and most importantly the timing. Top 3 all-time with those 3 attributes.

[@DC4L99]

FACTS, Troy is my favorite Cowboy qb. And that’s saying something because Staubach was pretty great too.

[@jamesedwards4251]

Dixon had lightening speed

They wouldn't have won the super bowl without him

[@zionnewkirk4838]

The mechanics and footwork were impeccable!!!🔥🔥

[@luiszavala9728]

He may not have the stats like Brees and the rest of these modern age qbs. But he threw a beautiful ball and knew how to win when the rules weren’t in his favor and the qb wasn’t as protected as it is today. He has to be in the top 10 qbs of all time.

[@erikpuka2627]

for sure is. The term - he can make every throw gets thrown around too often. I think Aikman was one of the guys that could make every throw perfectly. Him, Marino, Brady and Montana are the only QBs I have ever seen do that.Throw the ball at incredible velocity yet control it amazingly.Troy is for sure top 10 ever. People just hold the stacked teams against him but dont hold it against Montana for some reason. He could nail every throw 100 percent

That hit he takes at the very first of this video shows how far the league has come to protecting QBs when they are defenseless. That would be a fine today the way the Cardinal led with his helmet.

[@DC4L99]

Yeah I have a lot of respect for the guys who played back then. Hits like that used to be normal, and Aikman took a lot of them.

[@SilkySmoothMontengro]

Swag. Many dynasties happen in the nfl. But that team made beating everyone look so easy. They did it with pure swag. Endless weapons. In every phase. So good they won a superbowl with Barry Switzer. They had autopilot greatness. I hated them. But watched every game. They were that must see television.

[@eclecticx]

Aikman's the only QB I know of who could get his head knocked off yet still place the ball anywhere on the field in the tightest of windows and hit a receiver in stride. He was nothing short of incredible. If only the Cowboys had a QB now who could remotely come close to his combination of arm strength, intelligence, accuracy, and desire to win. Only player I've seen who hated losing as much as or more than Aikman is Brady.

[@bobbyfostore1455]

I was so blessed to have seen Roger, Troy and Romo as our greatest QB. Tony was just as incredible as his predecessors Troy and Roger.

Such a shame how much Aikman is shitted on as a commentator, it’s almost like people forget how good he was as a player. I’m a New England fan, but Aikman was a straight up machine. The 90s Cowboys are probably the greatest teams in the history of the NFL

[@brianblackwell2125]

It's because the NFL has a young audience. It's a new brand of football and they are going to shit on Dallas because it's "cool" to shit on Dallas, even when they were great. People are just pissed because when Dallas is good, they make the shit look cool. No other team can say that.

[@JRHYT409]

Aikman’s the best deep ball thrower I saw until the rules changed to benefit quarterbacks. It would go so high like a Hail Mary and fall softly into the hands of a receiver. Very few quarterbacks can even attempt to do it like that because they don’t have the combination of strength and touch Aikman had. Many guys had one or the other, but not both to the degree Aikman did.

[@andrew5184]

I agree. But then he could also rip a low, fast deep ball like the TD to Harper at 4:57. Blows my mind.

[@hectorlopez1069]

He owned jim kelly in the two Superbowls. He played so well for the cowboys.

That ball at 4:57 is one of the fastest, tightest, prettiest deep balls I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to get the ball that deep and hit the receiver in stride THAT LONG after the snap. It’s thrown more like a 50 yard deep out (if there were such a thing) than a deep ball. Just an amazing arm.

[@PlanetEarth3141]

It's hard enough to cover a great reciever but you combine that with a hall of Fame QB who has the greatest accuracy ever seen in the NFL, you basically lose Everytime. Even when you nix Irvin and successfully sack Aikman you got Harper, Emmit and a Wyoming tight end to stop. Then there are the very low odds of scoring on Doomsday II. Thus three Superbowls in four years and the only reason it wasn't four in a row is the Cowboys slacked off. No other team has won three in four years. Few have won two in a row.

[@atlmadezay4304]

Rodgers and Marino have better accuracy

[@VH1984]

Troy was a great QB - he was always great in pressure situations. He unfortunately, played in an offense that was focused on the run first, and when they did pass most where short to medium passes. That means you don't rack up a lot of passing yards and TDs. The o-line everyone talks about was not there during the last part of his time in Dallas. The last half of his time in Dallas was plagued with a lack of talent, poor execution from many players, bad coaching and the circus that is Jerry Jones.

Not only the best Dallas QB, sorry Roger, but the greatest QB ever. I'd choose Aikman over Brady anytime. If Jones hadn't undone the Cowboys under Johnson, the Patriots would still be far behind Dallas for best team ever. The Johnson Cowboys could easily beat the modern Bilichik Patriots.

[@petergarcia589]

First of all. An all t.d. highlight reel? That's why he doesn't get more love from the critics. All he did was throw t.d. passes. Secondly, Irvin was jealous of Harper and wanted him gone. Thirdly I saw him play in Texas Stadium, that field had the highest crown of any football stadium ever. Bret Favre couldn't play there, you could stand on one sideline and not see from the knee down any player on the other side. Yes he's the most accurate passer in NFL history, but when all you show are t.d. highlights it's hard for today's fans to comprehend that. Troy didn't scramble around and wait for a defense to break down like every other qb in today's league. He knew where the ball needed to go pre snap. Watch his spiral in regular speed, you can see the laces slow down as it gets close to the receiver. His throwing stance is the best ever, Carson Wentz only real problem is that very thing. Watch Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson, short stances when they deliver. Anyway ✌ out, nice video, but I'd really like to see a highlight reel of him with no t.d.s
