I know that's not a big newsflash but a buddy of mine is a big Cowboys fan and on one of their message boards they have a thread going about who is better, Brady or Aikman. So he gives me his password and stuff so I can read it and all but one reasonable guy says Aikman. I know that same brave person would get similar treatment here for saying the right thing against the crowd but they are all ganging up on him telling him he isn't a real Cowboys fan. It's too bad you can't read the thread because he's destroying them with his argument.
His main defense is Aikman was a very good quarterback but was helped out by being on a great team and the system he was in. He then said you could have argued the same thing about Brady until last year when he had no running game, injuries at both offensive line and receiver, a leaky defense for most of the year and still finished third in the MVP voting. His point was as good as Aikman was, he never was able to put his team on his back like Brady did last year, plus he has 3 Super Bowl titles to boot. He asked, what would Brady do with that line, Emmitt, Irvin and Novacek? Throw for 4,500 yards instead of 4,110 like he did last year?
People said the NFL was much tougher back then - which it was - but he pointed out that Aikman played until 2000 when the league was already watered down and the Cowboys made the playoffs in 1999 with an 8-8 record. Yet, by that point Aikman had turned into just a slightly above average quarterback because he didn't have a great team around him.
Then, of course, the morons who never saw a Patriots game said Brady wasn't as accurate as Aikman was and couldn't play in a timing offense. Now, we all know Aikman was a very accurate QB but as he mentioned, you can put Brady's accuracy up against any quarterback in NFL history, so they're either making it up or they never watch the Patriots play.
He closed by saying that Aikman was never considered the best QB in the NFL during his playing days while Brady isn't just considered the best quarterback today, he's already being compared with some of the all-time greats, and that was never or never will be the case for Aikman. His final post was, "Go post this question on the message boards of the other 31 teams and counts up the votes. Let me know what you come up with and then you'll see what blind homers you all are and my point will be proven."
Anyway, I couldn't post the thread on here because you need to be a member to read it but I thought some of you might be interested to know that there is at least one honest, intelligent Dallas Cowboys fan on the planet. Out of all the poster, I think only one other guy said Brady. That's just ignorance. I even think if we posted Brady vs Montana on here, a lot of people would still say Montana but I could be wrong. Maybe the posters here would be just as blind but I don't think so.
