Donovan McNabb says if Troy Aikman is in the Hall of Fame, he should be, too

I was a huge Mcnabb fan and still am but reality matters and realistically Donovan Mcnabb does not belong in the hall of fame. The same can be said for Aikman and Namath. But in reality Aikman and Namath have 4 rings between them. Mcnabb has 0 and that matters.

So 3 time super bowl starting QB bums. I get what McNabb saying. But troy was the starting QB on 3 Superbowl winning teams n he wasn't no game manager. Michael Irving was getting goos passes thrown to him...ALOT. I think McNabb should be in the Hall, but he know damn well what got Aikman in there

Yes... Aikman WAS a bum. Numbers don’t lie.
Calling him a “Game Manager” is too generous. Michael Irvin was a first ballot talent who got held back by mediocre QB play.

His nickname wasn’t “Playmaker” for nothing, he was bailing Troy bum ass out all the time. His numbers would’ve been way better with a decent QB.

Literally any half decent QB in that era would’ve been a 3 time SB winner with that team.
 
That s a good comparison. I'll take it further and say McNabb was the Dwight Howard of the NBA and Aikman was David Robinson. Dwight was more dominant and hit a higher ceiling, but Robinson was more consistent and got them chips, as well as a beast in his own right. IMO

I'd say Romo had more impressive play than Mcnabb.
 
Troy Aikman was the Terry Bradshaw of the 90s. He was the qb ofban all time great team. The 90s cowboys were the last of the pre salary cap dynasties. They were loaded at every position and they had possibly the greatest o line in NFL history. Throw Emmitt in the backfield, Irvin outside, put Novacheck at te and Harper opposite Mike and you're unstoppable. Put me behind center and my out of shape ass could at least get to the conference championship game. Aikman's job was the same as Bradshaw's job just don't fuck it up. And to his credit he didn't.

People seem to forget that there was a qb competition in Dallas. For a couple of years Jimmy Johnson wasn't sold on Aikman and Steve fucking Walsh was taking his playing time. Aikman was the #1 overall pick and Walsh was taken in the supplemental draft. Whenever the #1 overall pick is being challenged by a guy in the supplemental draft something is wrong.

Aikman's claim to fame was that he didn't make many mistakes. Let that great line do their job, Hand it off to Emmitt, and gave Irvin a chance to catch the ball and don't turn it over. Replace Emmitt with Franco, Irvin with Stalkworth or Swann paint the helmets black and you have a Terry Bradshaw clone.

Naw aikman was atleast better than bradshaw bum ass
 
Bradshaw had 4 more 20+ TD seasons than Aikman

He had a lot of INTs vs TDs just like Aikman.

He also finished with like 45 more TD passes in the same amount of games played as Aikman

Yeah bradshaw had swann and stallworth as his wide receivers also plus bradshaw td to int ratio is 212-210 aikman numbers wasn't even that bad 165-141 I think plus aikman had a runningback who took alot of pressure off of him too and not to forget aikman threw more yards than bradshaw and he has a better completion percentage than bradshaw.....bradshaw was with a team who had one of the best defenses the league has ever saw
 
Been a min bro.....you remember the arguement of who division was better the nfc south or the afc south? What do you think of them both in today's league? (I knew I was gonna be right anyway when I told you the nfc south would fall off) :ghost:

Haha ya I remember. NFC South hasn't fallen off. Been in the NFCC game 3 of the past 4 years (different team each time). The year they didn't, they sent 3 teams to the playoffs. Bucs are just bad, Haha.

Saints and Falcons are the only 2 teams I see as true threats in that division...carolina offense will not be the same their defense is good but inconsistent and the bucs are trash lol....oh our divisions play each other this season so this will be interesting
 
If the falcons can stay healthy we will challenge Brees and the 'aints. Cam should be healthy this year so anything is possible in Carolina. And maybe I'm crazy or didn't watch enough football last year (which I probably didn't) but I don't think the bucs are as bad as most ppl think. I could be wrong about Tampa but I think the NFC south will be another shoot out this year.
