I remember the Dallas Cowboys whipping us in the early 90s even though we had Young and Rice and they did it with a formula very similar to what we are using now. You can make an arguement that Aikman went down field a little more but this season's production thus far between the 2 QBs has been eerily similar. Of course Alex isn't Aikman and we aren't those Cowboys, but it goes to show that winning football can happen in any manner of ways. 16 - 5 and yes the QB plays a significant part in this
I don't like to critique hall of fame super bowl winning QB's. But Troy's teams were stacked big time. A term we know all too well around here (game manager) could very easily be applied to Troy. I don't want to create a whole new argument about one of the greats but Aikman carrying the team? Well that must have been a lot to carry because the talent around him was insane. I wont say this with much conviction but damn Marino would have won countless superbowls with Troy's team (a lot more than Troy did IMO.)
Again I want to make this clear not going to slight the guy. Just observe.
