I wish they showed his 1994 Preseason TD vs the Raiders...he ran HEADFIRST into the endzone and took 3 seperate headshots from the Raiders and his chin was all bloodied....WHY? Because a child who had cancer asked him to score a TD for him and Troy ONLY got one series that night he took the ball straight to the child at the hospital, he died two days later

His ability to read the defense, going through his progressions, footwork, bazooka arm and accuracy was amazing. A leader, class act, and consummate professional. Poetry in motion

Dan Marino, Warren Moon, and Troy Aikman have the prettiest throwing mechanics that I have ever seen. It's NFL Films poetry in motion.

Criminally under appreciated. 7-0 to start his postseason career. He sent Brett Favre & Steve Young home more than once.

I’m glad I was able yo witness Troy Aikman’s outstanding performance as a QB. Just incredible and not talked about enough.

Troy Aikman didn't need to throw the ball 35 times a game to win. He knew where to throw the ball and when he set his feet he could zip the ball down to anyone. His highest touchdown regular season total 23 in 1992. He had wonderful talent around him and a great offensive line. Troy was the brains, Michael was the emotion, and Emmitt was the soul of the offense. They just made beautiful music together in the early 90's.

Whoever coached him on his footwork is a genius. He has the best feet of any Pro quarterback I've ever seen

[ZhangtheGreat]

I don't think people have fully appreciated how good Aikman was. Today, he's often labeled as someone who didn't put up the best numbers and/or rode on the backs of the arsenal of talent that surrounded him, and that's an absolutely unfair way to look at his career. Talk to any member of that 90s Cowboys team and ask them which player captained that ship, and they'll say Troy without any hesitation. To have that level of respect in a pack of ego-driven talents who all thought they were the alpha is next to impossible, and yet Troy did it. Yes, the 90s Cowboys were talented, but talent alone doesn't win championships. They needed a steady commander, and Troy was the glue that held them together.

This showed the long balls, but he did a tremendous amount of opponent murdering with the short game - sideline bullets, slants, quick bullets off the snap. It was a thing of beauty, and very very tough to stop. Troy to Novacek, man oh man.

I was not a Cowboys fan, but I had great respect for Troy Aikman. He is my kind of QB: tough, intelligent, not a big talker, clutch under pressure, and above all: a WINNER.

[chocolatetownforever]

As great as Troy was, watching this video made me appreciate Michael Irvin even more.

Dude was an animal.

[jerrybutler]

Troy Aikman never really got to showcase his throwing ability because the Cowboys were a run-first team. Imagine if he played for the 49ers in that west-coast offense. He'd prolly be mentioned as a top 5 qb ever.

[JohnDoe-qugm]

Can you imagine how much longer Troy would’ve been able to play underneath the new NFL flag football rules for the QB.

[louisvelez]

That football just looks beautiful coming out of his hand, great accurate QB to ever play

[billythekidder]

What made Troy elite was not his arm, it was his leadership. He was tough, accurate..sure, but he held everyone accountable especially himself.

[scottmartinets]

Something I'll never forget is watching him go through full practices without the ball ever hitting the ground. A true living legend

[rendellbartholomew]

This dude was DANGEROUS. ALL-TIME great for sure.

[manuginobilisbaldspot]

Efficiency and accuracy matter more than aggregate numbers. What mattered for Jimmy Johnson and the ghosts of Jimmy Johnson, err Barry Switzer, was that the Cowboys finished in the top 7 every year from 1991 to 1995 in scoring: 7th, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, and 3rd. Three titles, four conference title berths. I've never understood punishing a player for not being required to do a ton. The Cowboys scored a lot and when Aikman had the responsibility, he stepped up. Super Bowl MVP, big game player...if all that = game manager, then as a Raiders fan, I PRAY that Derek Carr elevates his game management. I watched those teams, Aikman at his peak was the goods. Tough, deadly accurate, a leader, and played big in big games.

[Mnmgodz]

My favorite quarterback of all time!!! Love this guy!

[bosskey]

watched EVERY game Aikman played (minus one Monday nighter cause I fell asleep lol), and for those too young to know better, you must understand that this era of the NFL was ALL about the running game minus a few teams because the rules did not favor the QB as they got hit on basically every pass play no matter what. Aikman took a ton of punishment over his career and most of it was after he threw the football. Not only was his accuracy one of the best ever, his toughness and leadership was unquestioned. Those Cowboys teams had a lot of great players all over the place but make no mistake about it, no one on those teams wins a Superbowl without Troy Aikman. And I can guarantee you that if Troy had played in a pass first system he would have capped a whole lot of records, but due the fact that Troy was about winning and being a good leader and teamate he wanted to set the example for everyone else to be selfless, I truly believe to this day that it is that leadership that ultimately put those teams to the Championship level they got to. Everyone followed Troy, and everyone knew he was their general no matter what anyone else says
