Truth is Troy is a premier qb who has done it at the highest level consistently Running Norvs system. I welcome someone who's here simply overlooking probably going to give Cam a few pointers let some of that greatness run off on us. I enjoy that type of culture surrounding our new OC name the last top level qb we had looking over Cams shoulder at a practice ? At a time when he can actually be criticized learn from it and do it better right on the spot or the next day etc. I'm not saying he is doing that even if he's just watching I like his championship pedigree under what we are implementing at the moment hopefully giving any type of advice to Norv Cam or whoever else.

Oops!  Still not exactly "blow you away" stats, especially considering some of the talent he played with. 

That's what a balanced offense and for that matter, balanced team gives you. So the QB doesn't have to do it all. 

That being said, Aikman had one of the most accurate and strong arms in the league. 

He was a blast to watch play.

Not to mention the rules were much different back then.  They didn't favor the offense like it does today.

Emmitt Smith was his halfback

Yeah he didn't have great numbers but he had one of the best halfbacks ever.

He didn't know

I've never understood the term "game manager".  Does the QB lead the team to victories or not. A good QB shouldn't have to be Superman or expected to carry the load. If Cam could take us to multiple Super Bowls by being a "game manager" then so be it. Cam will be around for us a lot longer if the coaches except that.

Those Aikman stats are mind-blowing to me.  Obviously the game has changed and apples to oranges, but Jesus one of the premiere QBs in the league with Emmitt, Michael Irvin, etc. throwing for basically 15 TDs and 8 INTs a year would be CRUCIFIED today. Crazy how things change.

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.

      So Kyler Murray gets praised as the best little QB...

      By CRA · Posted

      Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.

      We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
