Troy Aikman retirement retrospective.

[hjastroi]

''world championship'' lol it's the NATIONAL football league. you won an american championship

[Killerlonewolf115935]

He better then homo and Brady 

[AnnielHernandez]

I loved it when the Steelers lost in Cowboys stadium!! I was happy for Green Bay. They were clearly the better team. They deserved to win. I loved watching Staubach give the Lombardi trophy to Rodgers while Bradshaw was so pissed off. You could see it in his face. Anyway man, i have a life.....so i cant be commenting about this stupid shit anymore. Good luck to you and ur Steelers. Go Cowboys!!!

[pricepittsburgh]

@AnnielHernandez It didn't matter to me where the Steelers won or lost XLV and as I said was as much as an old Dallas rival who Cowboy fans should hate seeing as how they prevented them from winning back to back NFL titles in 66 and 67.

I agree it was GB's year, they were picked all year to win it while Pittsburgh was picked to finish 3rd in the division and won the AFC Championship and almost won it all.

Anyways, peace out and good luck to you too.

[makavelilivz]

My favorite player of all time

[btez31]

Very underrated QB!!

[AnnielHernandez]

i think The 90's Cowboys with Jimmy Johnson as their coach was the greatest team in NFL History.

[pricepittsburgh]

@AnnielHernandez Steelers Chuck Noll 1970s 4 rings in 6 years and back to back not once but twice.

[AnnielHernandez]

Dude if Johnson stayed they would of won 4 in a row!!! forget about back to back. back to back to back to back!!! They almost did without him. 3 in 4 years and 1 game away from the SB that year. That Oline they had woulda mangled the Steel Curtain. They were way bigger and faster man. You cant deny that.You remember what larry Allen did to Greg Lloyd in the SB? Imagine what he woulda done to Lambert who was way smaller.......Cowboys for sure man......sorry

[pricepittsburgh]

@AnnielHernandez Loyd was an outside 3/4 LB Lambert was an inside 4/3.

Players are faster/bigger every 10 years so Cowboys O line today would be smaller so that point falls short plus Lloyd dominated the run in XXX vs Emmit and boys O line.

Had 90s guys played in 70s they would have been smaller and 70s guys would have been bigger in 90s based on birth date..

Woulda coulda shoulda, you won with Switzer and Deion was the X factor in 94 for SF and Johnson wasn't going to change that vs 94 SF.

[AnnielHernandez]

@pricepittsburgh Emmitt scored 2 TDs including the game winner so maybe you controlled the yardage but scoring is what counts. And Lloyd was getting murdered out there...I dont know what game you were watching bro. All you Steeler fans remember Larry Brown baby!!!! Yeah and they won with Switzer which pretty much means they beat the Steelers without a coach cause he sucked!!! Anyway....what happened in the last Superbowl???? Not in our house baby!!!! SB Losers!!!!

[pricepittsburgh]

@AnnielHernandez NO Bragging Rights vs us. What happend the last 2 times we met? As for XXX Emmit's TDs were in close after long int returns. Great Dallas team beat a decent Steelers team but when both were great we won X and XIII, were 2-1 vs you in SBs, 6-2 over all, tying your 8 SB games, you're 5-3.

U think it matters what field XLV was played on? It wasn't your house it was neutral turf between 2 Conference champs, which you weren't one of and won't be anytime soon thanks to the Romo LOL!

[zr1drifter]

@pricepittsburgh I don't think you should be talking about Romo when your QB is a rapist.

[pricepittsburgh]

@zr1drifter Rape is a violent crime that leaves behind evidence and since the rape kit found no male DNA that makes you stupid and the groupie lying little whore. Add to that she was wearing a name tag that said Down to fuck and told the cop at the bar she was NOT raped then told the nurse maybe she was. She followed Ben up and down the strip then when he treated her like she wanted she got pissed just like the bitch in Nevada who told her friend she was going to get some Roethlisberger

[williejenkins666]

@pricepittsburgh Making excuses for your rapist QB, eh?

[pricepittsburgh]

@williejenkins666 I stated facts dumb ass not excuses.

Maybe someone will accuse you or a loved one of rape and you'll change your tune.

[williejenkins666]

@pricepittsburgh Nah, because I don't go out and rape women like Roethlisberger did. I have absolutely nothing to worry about. And I don't know any rapists yet (other than Roethlisberger) ... so I doubt I'll change my tune.

[pricepittsburgh]

@williejenkins666 So you're admitting that your're too stupid to accept medical and scientific facts such as DNA and vagianl examinations that prove Ben raped no one. I guess you are more of a moron than I thought.

How old are you, 12?

[williejenkins666]

@pricepittsburgh You are willing to accept he raped no-one because it is Ben Roethlisberger.

Word on the street is that you offered him BJ's if it helps him stop raping women. Is this true?

[pricepittsburgh]

@williejenkins666 I am willing to accept he raped no one because of the facts of the case. If a girl is raped there is male DNA(Semen) in her vagina or signs of forced entry. The doctors raped kit found neither of these on the 2nd accuser the night of the alleged event. She also told the first cop on scene she was not raped. His first accuser own emails and texts prove she lied. These are facts. This is why he is innocent and never arrested because of facts.

[lorenzodemedici1]

@pricepittsburgh Jerry Sandusky the former defensive coordinator of Penn State has been accused of multiple counts of sexual assaults on young boys. There are no DNA evidence in the case, but do you know why the prosecution is going forward? Because that D.A. has a backbone and believes no one is above the law. No physical evidence doesn't mean that a crime did no occur. There were multiple eyewitness accounts in Roethlisberger's case.

[pricepittsburgh]

@lorenzodemedici1 None of Sandusky's went straight to the hospital to get checked for DNA. There were ZERO Eye witness accounts in Ben's case. The closest witness was actually in is Ben's defense who stated her friend in went to Ben's room saying she was going to get her some Roethlisberger and returned saying she hoped Ben got her pregnant. 2nd accuser followed him from bar to bar wearing name tag that said Down To Fuck. Big difference between young boys and adult groupies.

[pricepittsburgh]

@AnnielHernandez Also, Gb is your original big rival and if you knew anything about your own history you would know that.

They prevented Dallas in the late 60s from winning back to back NFL titles so guess what? They did win in your house!

[TransformRetirement]

Excellent video on the retirement retrospective!

[uzavas]

man i miss this team....can romo and the team today get atleast 1 super bowl?

[199019852007]

@uzavas can romo even get to a nfc championship game

[uzavas]

@199019852007 i would like to say yes with confidence but instead we'll see..

[williamss89]

@199019852007 if our OL steps the fuck up, then yes he can

[199019852007]

@williamss89YES I AGREE AND WE ALSO NEED TO GET YOUNG ON OUR O-LINE THEY ARE STARTING TO AGE A LOT I JUST HOPE JERRY LOOKING TO SORT OUT THIS PROBLEM RATHER THAN WASTE THE HIGH DRAFT PICK ON SOMETHING THAT WE DONT NEED DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT ROMO ACCURANCY PERCENTAGE IS? I AM OING TO LOOK THIS HAPPEN BUT HE NEVER IMPRESSED ME AS ACCURATE QB

[williamss89]

@199019852007 i think he is on the top 5 completion percentage of all time

[gluserty]

Troy Aikman has no wares; just knows how to be:-)

[brownhuero]

UCLA very best!

[chevleclair]

Hold on, folks. These same people who are trying to discredit him due to Emmitt Smith, are the same people who say Smith doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame.Make up your minds, morons. You put 8 in the box, and Aikman had them pwned. Irvin was great, but Novacek, Martin, Harper, Johnston, and Williams were more than happy to pick up the slack.

[tatis3]

Wait so is his records and stuff better than brady's?

[juank215]

@tatis3 its not about stats the guy knew how to win AND he maked everybody around him better

[tatis3]

@juank215 oh I know that, I think I was just asking the question in general though lol...I asked this a while ago so I'm not sure what I was trying to get at haha

[uzavas]

@juank215 i know that's right!

[199019852007]

many say san fran should have won six superbowls between 1981-1990 i say this team could have won four in a row between 1992-1995

[iRepDallas4Life]

@199019852007 Too bad for all Niners fans, DALLAS WAS TOO GOOD IN THE 90'S FOR THE NINERS !

[Merdesigns]

8 men in the box.

[NISMODROID]

The Cowboy's best years were with Aikman and the rest of that ass kickin' team of the 90's!

[billydumont]

I was never a cowboys fan.In fact, I hated Troy Aikman, because he continuously shredded my team back in the day.I adored a teamed based solely on my geography.But looking back,Troy Aikman IS the the best QB to ever play the game. There is no one better. I hated Troy Aikman, but I could look you in the eye and admit that he was the best ever. I hate him because he was the best. And It took me 15 years to admit it. Looking back, he was and always was the best.Kinda strange how that works out, huh

[jonyamigo]

How bout them cowboys

[AmazingAirbellum]

@TheLastMonarch

o lol i srsly had no idea what u meant when u said unitas we stand

[AmazingAirbellum]

@TheLastMonarch

what the hell?

[4JayeP]

If Jimmie Johnson would have stayed with Dallas, I think they could have gotten one or two more championships.

[jackleo6]

@4JayeP ya if only Jerry Jones didn't fire Jimmy Johnson

[Gforcer80]

whites are leaders who make smart decisions...the blacks are more athletic and can execute freakish plays. thats not a racist statement ....just an observation.

[ithrowtdz]

@Gforcer80

its racist because its a blanket statement.... just say that in the past MORE whites have been better leaders

[Duggan00420]

Why didn't they show lavar arrington retire him

[forcethrown]

AIKMAN THE SUPEIOR DALLAS COWBOYS ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THe WORLD!

[Koolazzmike]

I am a diehard Redskin fan, but I truly respect Troy Aikman. I hated him when he was playing, but he is a class act, and a really great analyst on FOX.

[scottdavis0676]

@Koolazzmike I agree. Troy is a class act, and was a great leader. I also enjoy his insight as an analyst on FOX.

[denveraic]

A couple things about Aikman, he played his best football when it mattered. The bigger the game, the better he played. His stats aren't great to look back on, but he completed 60% of his passes when it was unheard of. And he very rarely turned the ball over. He also didn't pass nearly as much as anyone with gaudy stats. The Cowboys ran first, and passed 2nd. If Aikman were in a pass happy offense he could have had huge stats, but he was the ultimate team player, he put his stats second.

[jewpo]

Thank God for the Dallas Cowboys

[texmexdude]

Those where precious memories! Thank you Troy for being my childhood inspiration till this day!

[acastro817]

i would give my right nut to have this guy playing for us again hahahaha...... good ole' days.

[ithrowtdz]

@acastro817

LOL!!!!

[mrjb521]

just a winner as well as a class act

A true leader

[trotnixonkid247]

What are you talking about. He was the most underrated quaterback ever. He didn't get as much credit he deserves.

[AllPro777]

Troy Aikman was not underrated by any stretch of the imagination.

[ZhangtheGreat]

@AllPro777, actually, he is. Lots of people toss him aside as one of the greats because they argue that he had one of the best offensive supporting casts ever: a massive OL, a RB who ended up breaking Payton's rushing record, and a WR who pushed DBs around. Yet what they don't acknowledge is that Aikman was the one who brought them all together. If it wasn't Aikman QBing that team, who really knows how good Irvin or Smith (or even Harper and Novacek) would've become?

[denveraic]

@ZhangtheGreat Not to mention, all anyone talks about is how good Aikman's cast was. Loot at Mannings, one of the best O-lines ever. Marvin Harrison to throw to as well as Reggie Wayne. Great TE's. Now, lets look at Tony Romo as well, Terrell Owens, better stats than Irvin, Witten, better stats than Novacek, Romo has Pro Bowlers all over his O line, they are a pass happy team, but have good RB's as well. For whatever reason people hate Aikman because of his team, but other QB's have more!!!

[graceblood]

Tallsmile, I gotta agree with ya'. I've been a life-long Cowboys fan. But, I used to think Troy was over rated. I always thought he was good but not AS good as people said. But, I guess I just took it for granted having such a badass on our team. But, since he retired, I've changed my tune. The first thing I noticed about this video is, as you said, he threw the tightest balls ever. Amazing player. As for Romo, his style is different. But, there's something to be said for his Sandlot style.

[Sunte86]

i just got the chills...

[tallsmile28]

Troy threw the tightest balls ever. And he took care of the football. I wish Romo would do the same.

[quotemeonthat]

@tallsmile28 he took care of the football after a few seasons of starting, but his first couple years were awful. He threw 36 interceptions his first two seasons. It looks worse for Romo because his come in bunches it seems. The only thing that matters is SB rings though, and I think eventually Romo will get his. People who complain about him though are just ignorant. Considering he'll pass Aikman in a few key categories fairly soon, I don't think it'd be wise to "trade" him as people say.

[denveraic]

@quotemeonthat Most rookie QB's can't take care of the ball. They usually have terrible teams, as Aikman did. The Cowboys were so so bad when he arrived. Look at P. Manning, what did he throw his rookie year, 28 int's??? Romo has a lot to learn before he wins a title. Look at how bad he played against Minnesota. He lost that game as usual. I have that game on DVR and it kills me to watch Romo look lost out there. He looks like a rookie.

[199019852007]

@tallsmile28 I pray that happens too personally i think that we should draft a quarterback to put some heat on him or something like steve young did to joe montana or bill walsh called it competition

[miami5x1982]

no one did it better than Troy!

[lmoore43]

Love Troy Aikman, looking forward to seeing how he does in the poker tournament this fall in the bahamas.

[dnasty312]

Hate Cowboys...

but I like Troy.

[ATX806]

Oh yeah check out Jason Garrett 2:16 lookin like a bad ass lol

[golfmaster168]

i miss watching Troy play! He was so great! I can't wait to see him at the sports legends challenge!!!

[8aikman89]

TROY GREATMAN BABY WOO

[munsonfan15]

in the 90's you could'nt touch us the best period!!!! just ask the buffalo jillsl LOL

[DCUnited4]

Troy Aikman was destined to make LaVar Arrington a legend

[wolverine1635]

Although Troy had a strong arm, was tough and hella accurate, his biggest strength was his leadership!!! Troy was one of the good guys! We miss ya Troy.

[AkshaySBX]

He was represnted what cowbosy were all about.

[thepestghpalyerever1]

hes one of the best

[aztecboxer69]

doesent aikman have 6 championship rings?

[acdcsonic]

i have his rookie card from 1989 in mid condition

[glodiran]

3rings appearently u dont know anything about him if he didnt retire (idiotic romo would be off) they would have been led to 6 in a row super bowl victories now that romos here they havent won one with him

[3ringsAIKMAN]

If you want to "get me started", just say that Troy Aikman was nothing more than an average QB who gave the ball to Emmitt Smith. I've heard that countless times from, I guess Dallas-haters and I guess they just weren't paying attention during the '90's. Aikman retired as the #1 rated QB in Super Bowl history, which included highest AVERAGE YARDS PER COMPLETION.....A perfect record of 3 wins and 0 losses in the SB and MVP of SB-27. Troy wasn't about STATS...just CHAMPIONSHIPS

[skategoshen11]

he ruls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[17random8917]

Troy Aikman made the nineties great.

[barcasoccer1]

tony romo is a fucking joke compared to troy aikman.

[jl692005]

That's right, the hell with stats, do you think anyone is going to remember the season Tom Brady had last year? No, because the Patriots couldn't get the win that mattered most. The most important stats for a QB are not yards to TD passes but qb rating, completion %, and interceptions. This shows you the QB's that make mistakes and the one's that don't and Troy is one of the greatest QB's when it came to those stats. Plus he's a winner, more wins in a decade than any QB and has 3 rings...

[hpkid20]

The best I have ever seen. Tony Romo better start studying from a guy like this. Aikman, just a pure winner.

[Gwertdog]

Amen!

[bodenga]

john madden regularly called him the most accurate passer he's ever seen during his games

[spanto11]

one word to discribe aikman WINNER.

[sabman]

To hell with stats the only thing that matters are the rings. Troy at 3 Super Bowls and despite the fact that he does not have those passing records such as Marino he has the rings. And I'll bet Marino would give every one of those records for one Super Bowl.

[13mdeidi]

Troy is "the" best

[temjin44]

Actually, He does have great stats. The number one criteria for a QB is Completion percentate. He has the highest QB completion percentage for a non-west coast offense. Joe Montana and Steve Young have higher QB completion rates but they both played on a west coast offense.

[seniorcat03]

sweet vid! glad to see troy in the HOF. The real kicker is that he didnt make it for his personal stats, but for his leadership and self sacrifice of personal goals for TEAM achievements. Truly an NFL great
