Everson Walls says that Romo has "tells"

[sbk92]

Romo is an awesome athlete.

Aikman was a pure passer.

It's easy to say Aikman was the better of the two because of all the success. Theo said put Romo in that offense, that makes it a little more interesting to me.

I would still have to go with Aikman. When he was at his best, he was deadly accurate. Couple that with his leadership and big game record, I have to go with him.

Romo will hold every passing record the franchise has by the time it's over. He probably has as many TDs as Aikman already and hasn't played 4 full seasons. Obviously doesn't say a whole lot considering what each QB is asked to do in his offense. Still impressive.

Huge Romo fan. Love what he brings to the table.

I go with Aikman if I'm starting a team today and both are the same age and in the same draft.

If you put Romo on that team the Cowboys don't win 3 of 4. We won as much for how smart and mistake free we were as we did because of talent.

Romo could never have put together the postseason performances of Aikman.

 

[sbk92]

I doubt Jimmy Johnson would have even wanted Romo as his QB.

The problem with putting Romo in that 90's offense is that it was predicated on timing. It called for a lot of outs and such that Romo would struggle to complete. Nobody could throw an out like Aikman.

We used to call that the "Irvin route".

I was Aikman and my brother was White Irvin. We killed with that route.

I miss those days. I really got into the Cowboys during the tail end of the run in '95. I was still able to see a lot of games where Aikman was lights out, but only one Superbowl (XXX) and I didn't enjoy that game very much.

Yep. Would have had to completely revamp the offense.

Yeah. He was badly burned in a fire as a kid.

I remember asking him:

"What the hell happened? Your house caught fire and you hid in the closet?"

I felt bad once I realized what I said to the poor kid. I was a shitty kid.​

The first one in 92, I man cried. After all the shat years growing up watching that team, damn it felt good to win it all.

The second one was great but not like the first.

The third was more relief than anything else. You knew the team was in rapid decline and you just felt fortunate to get one more. The playoffs fell right for us that year. We had the Packers' number and couldn't beat the 49ers. But the 49ers struggled against Green Bay. The seeding fell just right for the Pack to do our dirty work.

 

[Midswat]

I think Jimmy would've been good with Romo.

He liked Walsh, and Romo is like a ridiculously more talented Walsh.

I was right there with ya.

I remember the 95 playoffs well. The 49ers beat our asses that season and somehow Green Bay beat them in the playoffs. I knew we were in once that happened. Before that happened, we were screwed. We weren't going to beat San Francisco.

 

[sbk92]

And we weren't supposed to win in 92. All the pundits thought we were a year away from competing with San Francisco.

That was the single greatest year of football ever, IMO. We were young champions with talent up and down the roster and a coaching staff that was the best in the league.

Typical Cowboy fans. Living in the past.

I cannot believe Jerry let all that talent leave but then went and signed Deion. I still don't know what he was thinking.

[Clutch88]

Aikman had a stronger arm, was more accurate, and was a better leader -- and I'm not a guy that bangs on Romo's leadership ability.

But Romo has moxie.... and lots of it.

:kool

Really Dude..? Really..??

 

[theogt]

There's no subjectiveness to it. It's clear cut and obvious.

If you polled the 32 GMs in football not a single one would take Romo over Aikman.

I don't think you know what "subjectiveness" means.

 

[Mr.Po]

True short story............

No way in hell Romo is better than Aikman.


The end.
