Re: If Aikman is a first ballot HOF inductee...
I think when all is said and done, Brady will have proven to be a better QB than Aikman. Don't get me wrong, Aikman was a fantastic QB, a true team player who gave up personal glory for team accomplishments. He played on a team that didn't have to throw as much as others because of a great running game, therefore he's not in the 40000 yard club. Also remember he retired at 32, Tom is 29, let's compare stats after Tom turns 32. Based on his stellar career, and great post seasons, Aikman certainly deserved first year induction, and so did Warren Moon, whoever said he didn't is just nuts. If Aikman doesn't deserve it because of low stats, then why wouldn't Moon deserve it ? His stats are through the roof, and if there wasn't such a thing as bigotry, he would have been the alltime leader in every QB stat. He deserved to be voted in his first year as much as Marino and Tarkenton did.
