@pl1532 Troy was probably the greatest leader in NFL history. Especially after Jimmy left. That 90s team was filled with a ton of characters and personalities. And he was the one who had to step up and be the so called bad guy and lift everyone up because Barry Switzer was going to. And pedestrian completion %? He had the 2nd highest % of anyone who played the entirety of the 90s. Maybe you weren't around in the 90s but running the ball was still king. And Dallas had one of the best to ever do it. It wasnt til got closer to the 00s that the passing game became the primary focus. Everyone who knew anything about football and was around the game says Aikman was just about the most accurate qb theres ever been
Dan always has the best interviews and here is yet another one with Troy! “THE TRIPLETS” what a joy it was to watch the Cowboys every week with Troy, Michael and Emit…! I was able to attend a game or two in person when I lived in Dallas at the old stadium. They were something to see..and what an experience! Those were GREAT Football days….! Thanks Dan and Troy…great interview…! Now I gotta go to the store for some “8”……✌️. Thanks to all those who served and paid the ultimate price for our country. Have a safe Memorial Day everyone…and please remember what Memorial Day is about..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸‼️
Troy has always been a class act. I always had respect for that serious look in his eyes when he was playing the game, and his facial expression hardly every change whether he was winning a game or losing a game. I have great respect for the football player he was. He is a general as a leader and a warrior as a player.
30 yards???!!! The legendary QB (in his own mind) Chris Broussard claims he could throw 60 yards. Troy looks in good shape whatever shoulder thing he may have.
Troy Aikman was a great NFL QB and has the rings to prove it. In my opinion John Elway was The GOAT, rings mean nothing to me) but I really admired Aikman, Marino, Kelly and Moon. When these guys played, DEs LBs, and many a safety some violently bad dudes. Lawrence Taylor was fearsome. In my opinion THE most fearsome player was Bears LB Wilbur Marshall. He didn't get the credit he deserved because that 85 Bears team had Walter "Sweetness" Payton , The Fridge. The QBs who "survived" this era's defensive football are incredible.
Not in favor of changing the kick off rule, but at this point they should just place it at the 20 after a score ... new rule is basically that (+5 yds) dressed up as an actual play
@@johnbrowntheprophet when people who talk about the greatest RB of all time, he is rarely mentioned, and never above guys like Sanders, Payton, Brown, G. Safes. Most cowboy fans don’t put him ahead of T. Dorset. He was a journeyman running back that just played a bazillion years behind an amazing OL.

@@johnbrowntheprophet I’m not a cowboy fan, but if you have followed NFL football for several decades, Emmitt Smith is not considered better than the guys I mentioned. Those who analyze the game and the media who covers it has never considered ES as top of of top RBs. He played 20 years behind a great OL, that’s why he has the Yards record, he’s Cal Ripken. He played several more years than the great RBs, if any of the guys I mentioned, + OJ, Peterson, Dickerson and about 10 other guys played 20 seasons, they would have 5k more yards than him.

Along with Terry Bradshaw, Aikman is one of the most overrated QB’s of all time. Had only one 20 TD seasons and completion % was nothing to brag about. Both played on loaded teams that almost any mid level QB would have won multiple SB’s with.
Yeah right... Aikman spanked every top QB in his era. --- And I'm pretty sure 3 rings gets you automatic access, as a QB (who happened to play in the toughest division & conference of his time, and was winningest QB of the 90's) WTF more do you want? Still pretty rare air that QB sits in. But oh, yeah... Simms should be in.
Went back and watched his old games....if u think he woukdnt have won all those SB's Brady won....you on drugs....in that weak division with Belicheats D.....Aikman would have dominated also
Overrated! SB wins are very deceiving when comparing QB's because the rest of the team doesn't get any credit. Aikman played on a loaded team. Aikman had only one 20 TD season, pedestrian completion %, 165 TD-141 INT. If Aikman, Brady or Bradshaw played for the Lions=zero SB's. If Marino, Warren Moon or Favre played on those teams, they also would have won multiple SB's. SB wins are not a measure of greatness for one player in a team sport like football, but rather a measure of the collective greatness of the team.
Great Interview! Really like Aikman's honesty
Troy has to be one of the most underrated QBs of all time. Never gets discussed when all-time greats come up, but he belongs in the conversation.
Exactly the opposite! Only one 20 TD season and pedestrian completion %. He was just fortunate to play on a loaded team.

Thanks for the mention of military day and the veterans. Thanks
He gives everybody their respect, teammates and people he competed against, that's classy.
Troy aikman's perspective on an athlete's life after retirement+ Dan's unique interview style always make these hits much-watch content
Dan is the best interviewer in the country ..and its not even close.
Aikman has been out of the game 23 years? No way! I can't believe it.
LEGEND
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ gotta LOVE Troy.
30 yards???!!! The legendary QB (in his own mind) Chris Broussard claims he could throw 60 yards. Troy looks in good shape whatever shoulder thing he may have.
True but one little shoulder problem will stop anybody's throwing arm. There is no overcoming it.
I think he’s being modest. Although I hope his shoulder does get better.
I love Dan Patrick and his guests but the intro of every video is annoying as fuck.
Intro is barking shit, but I will endure it for these great interviews.
Jerry Rice so dominant!
I’m starting to love the intro

You seriously did not mention Joe...?
“Great”? Really?
Rings were the beneficiary of playing on a loaded team. Only one 20 TD season on that team! Ouch!
Great stuff
Jim Brown missed zero games in nine years!
Tom Bush
Y'all had MOOSE 💪🏽🏈
Stop it……dude had the best o-line ever assembled…..that’s why he holds the record….

Hard to imagine "Roy" wasn't rippin rails.
I’d had asked him what the hell happened to UCLA………and had he ever talked to Mark Harmon….lol….
Bill Bates being a teammate had you rent out the facility something's wrong with that that's not taken care of your quarterback
me to in the shoulder Troy
Troy Aik
Emmitt Smith isn't a top 5 all-time RB, he is more the Cal Ripkin of RBs.
Yes, he is. Just stop it. 🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️

Good QB, but no way he should be in the HOF.
Agree. Phil simms was better than aikman and hes not in hof
@@sim396 Simms definitely should be in. If Eli gets in (which we know he will), Simms should go in.
Too many uneducated people look only at Superbowls. It baffles me annually.
