I'm gonna get shit on for this but....
Troy Aikman threw the deep ball better than Mahomes ever has or ever will.
He was not a game manager.
I can find you multiple games in the postseason where this was evident.
He gets unfairly labeled with that because his peak was shorter than guys like Marino.
And after 95/96 the teams around Aikman were a ****ing mess and he started getting hit in the head too much.
Even during his peak, guys like Alvin Harper or whatever vagabond the Cowboys trotted out as the third receiver were nothing without Aikman. When Harper went to Tampa Bay his career was over. Jay Novacek was nothing special but he and Troy had a special Mahomes/Kelce type connection.
No one ever called Carson Palmer a game manager. Well, Carson Palmer was just Temu Troy Aikman.
Thank you for coming to my Troy Talk.
