I can definitely see a logic in picking Aikman here, even though ... I mean, c'mon, it's Barry Sanders. But if it's 1989 and you've got a west african nightmare in the backfield, and if you have no benefit of hindsight, yeah, you take Aikman.

I went with Sanders.
Okoye was overrated, so was Aikman. If you'd have given Sanders to Marty, he'd have spent a decade raping faces worse than Charles ever has.
Meanwhile Marty would've turned Aikman into a dink and dunker.
People forget how innovative Jimmy Johnson was. Aikman in virtually any other organization would've been forgettable, IMO. Whereas Sanders
was in the absolute worst possible situation for him and still kicked ass.
The 90s Chiefs with Marty and Sanders would've won a couple of titles. It was an era where you
could win with a running game and a defense if you actually had an elite running game. We had the corpse of Allen and overrated video-game creations like Okoye.
