Default Are the Patriots the Cowboys of the Mid 90s?

With all the fans, players, and coaches who have talked bad about the Patriots over the last couple years, and with the off the field problems this year, does it seem that we are now rooting for a team simular to the one we all hated 12 years ago? Substance abuse suspentions, woman abuse allegations, and a dynasty football team.

I think the current Chargers team resembles the 90s Cowboys more, except for the fact that the Chargers haven't won a Superbowl. Like them, we're primarily a rushing team with a great running back; they had Emmitt Smith, we have LaDainian Tomlinson, and both teams featured great offensive lines. The Cowboys could also throw the ball with Troy Aikman and his primary target Michael Irvin. The Chargers have Philip Rivers and Chris Chambers, Vincent Jackson, and Antonio Gates. On defense, they had Deion Sanders and we have Antonio Cromartie.

Philip Rivers is actually better than Troy Aikman at this point in his career. Don't look at the Superbowls, just the stats. Troy Aikman was a game manager for the most part because their offense relied heavily on the running game. Here's a comparison of Philip Rivers and Troy Aikman's stats for their first two season's starting:


Their first season starting:

Troy Aikman:

passing yards: 1749
passing tds: 9
interceptions: 18
completion percentage: 52.9%
rating: 55.7

Philip Rivers:

passing yards: 3388
passing tds: 22
interceptions: 9
completion percentage: 61.7%
rating: 92.0


Their second season starting:

Troy Aikman:

passing yards: 2579
passing tds: 11
interceptions: 18
completion percentage: 56.6%
rating: 66.6

Philip Rivers:

passing yards: 3152
passing tds: 21
interceptions: 15
completion percentage: 60.2%
rating: 82.4



The most yards that Troy Aikman ever got in a single season was 3445 and the most touchdowns he ever got in a single season was 23, both of which Philip Rivers almost got in his first season alone. Troy Aikman was not as great a quarterback as some current fans make him out to be. Even his championships can be attributed to the talent around him more than his own abilities.

What substance abuse problems? If you're referring to Harrison and HGH that's ludicrous. You make it sound as if he was shooting heroin.

It's also worth noting that to my knowledge, the only Pats player ever arrested during BB's tenure was Jonathan Sullivan, and I'm not even sure he was signed at the time of that arrest. At any rate, he didn't last long.

There is no other team in the league who can claim they haven't had at least one player arrested in the last eight years. Not one.

Meanwhile Dallas players of that era were getting arrested every other week. There is no comparison IMO.

Kenyatta Jones. He had been on the team for the SB in 2001 but was quickly cut after his arrest in 2003.
