Self discipline, self motivated and it all showed on the field. All the fame never got to him and he held everyone accountable. His work ethic and Michael's held everyone to a different standard. Thank you for this. My first Cowboys game was his rookie yr against the Cards. He got knocked out on the pass and Dixon made the T.D. Definition of the perfect TEAMMATE
He was as good as anyone. He was in a run heavy offense and never uttered a peep bc it was about winning 100% . Give me that over stat-conscious QB all day.
You guys are idiots. There’s a reason a three times Super Bowl winner isn’t even mentioned in the top 10 of all time he was good, but you guys are going a little bit stupid with the praise.
Non Cowboy fan here, but I remember Aikman breaking into the league and being floored by what I was seeing. Beyond the high IQ and crazy arm talent, I was so impressed with his heart and courage. Those early Cowboy teams weren't that great and Troy took a pounding back there. But you'd never know it by watching his next pass. He never flinched in a collapsing pocket, never ducked or short armed a pass with freight train bearing down on him. Absolutely fearless and inspiring as a leader. Here's to you Mr Aikman. 👍👍👍😎❤️💯🔥
This guy he is a man Hall of Fame did my favorite the Dallas Cowboys 💙⭐🏈 👹👹👹👹👹👺👺👺👺👺😈😈😈😈😈😈😈🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾 he is the goat 🐐
Great video. Yeah, Aikman didn't care about any records and that's why you hear idiots say he was overrated. What he wanted was championship rings and trophies.
Another well done video very well put together. The amount of likes to the amount of views I don’t get it folks let’s get with the program for this man.
And he played against Michael Irvin as well. Irvin went to the U. Troy was at Oklahoma. It was a great game but Troy broke his leg in the game. It's on CZcams.
Aikman was a beast!!! The one thing that made me laugh is whenever a play was made, Troy always had that look on his face like “what happened?” But Aikman won and won often.
Fantastic video Sir. I'm a native Texan from Beaumont. The 1st time I saw my Cowboys play live was Opening Day 1989 at the New Orleans Superdome. It was Troy's 1st game in the NFL, and they lost 28-0 to Bobby Hebert and the Saints. Saints fans were buying me sympathy beers that day! A mere 3 years later, they won their first of a 3 out of 4 Superbowl winning run. COWBOYS DYNASTY such as had never been seen before, and sadly none since SB XXX. Go Cowboys!!!!
This guy gets more hate from ignorant fans than any other player. They dont get he just wanted to win, played on a run heavy team with the all time leading rusher and also went #1 to a bad cowboys team. If he was in another system he could have put up huge numbers. He always made the throw when he had to, had his best games in big games and kept a offense with huge personalities in check. A true leader and one of the best arm talents of all time .
My favorite QB of all time. I remember getting a small black and white tv in my room at 10 years old. I would have it on with the sound off after I was supposed to be in bed asleep, just so I could see him play on Monday night. Playing backyard football, I had the strongest arm in the neighborhood. I’d mumble to myself every time I’d drop back “Aikman drops back”. Great memories.
One other comment is that Jimmy always wanted Aikman and Troy spurned him twice. I can see why Jimmy saw all that potential in Aikman because he had that strong arm and was accurate too. Even in America's Game, Troy realized that it was fate that Jimmy and Troy would be together. They really did make beautiful music together.
The television networks did not possess the digital quality of todays’ technology, as it is what it is for 1980’s network TV. However, if you do care to witness a truly tight spiral with pin point accuracy to the receiver running a post route, then look no further than this pass from Troy 10:29. That is something damn near close to a perfect pass.
LC i remember my initial reaction to seeing The Cowboys draft Troy was, Noooooooo!! Because he's a Bruin and I'm a USC Trojan. And had wanted them to draft Peete. Now i can't imagine what possessed me the man won🏆🏆🏆. But Rodney backed him up years later. This was the best Documentary on the legend, I've ever seen my congratulations on a superb job.
Troy Aikman got the ability under Jimmy and Jerry to develop which in today's NFL you don't get that luxury. Look what happened TODAY! Justin Fields from the Bears got traded to Pittsburgh as a back up to Russell Wilson. Just this week, Kenny Pickett from the Steelers got traded to the Eagles. All 1st rounders. Troy won 0 GAMES in 1989, 7 in 90, got hurt in the Washington game and say his backup succeeded. In today's NFL, you are getting traded if you can't produce. That 1992 off season was so important. Troy was feeling he wasn't wanted. So he wanted to be traded and Jimmy didn't allow that. He gave Troy the chance to prove himself and he did. One of the few times in the 90's that he started all 16 games plus the playoffs. It all worked out.
I didn’t even know all the connections between the coaches and players before 1989. Thank you again. A Great Channel illustrating greatness. My hope is that the team and provide you some new material.
Fantastic work. You are the living scrap book of the Cowboys. It is pretty wild to think how different it could have been but everything happened for a reason. Thank you so much for the video. Brings back many good memories.
LC!!!!! You have done it again! I know how hard you work on this and they always turn out excellent!!!! I believe this was a great representation of Troy Aikman! Thanks again!
Former 49er's coach George Seifert once said, that Troy Aikman had great separation from the offensive line to his location in the pocket. Seifert was right.
Excellent video. This channel has a talent for truly teaching about these great players within context of their eras. It teaches the viewers how the subject fits in with college football & NFL history. Almost no one does that today. That’s why we see the clip of SAS not remembering of Aikman beat Young or Montana. Talking heads don’t prepare. They just spout words, push narratives & try to stir drama. But the game & the players, the coaches & what they accomplish on the fields is how legacies & NFL history is made. Thank you for an excellent video. Good luck with your Cowboys this season. 🍀👍
The Dallas Cowboys need to hire you as there PR multi-media guy. You have already proven your worth to the team. Your voice is so calming and your information reputable. You could do documentaries on past and current players. Can you imagine what you could do if you had access to all the Dallas Cowboys film. It would be a win win situation for you both. Great job LC. Keep 'em coming and make that call to Cowboys headquarters.
He really is a gem not caught up for the spotlight and game that comes with the NFL troy aikman ty for the Dallas memories for my pops a cowboy fan. From a 9er faithful 😊
Another great video. I've always agreed with Pat Summerall's assertion that Aikman is the most accurate thrower in NFL history. Not sure I've ever seen the clip on youtube, but after one SB I saw Aikman appear on David Letterman's show and do the throw the football through the driving taxi window contest. Aikman nailed it perfect first try. Other QBs I saw, like Steve Young and and I think Brett Favre, struggled with it.
I think Aikman would have had an even more dynamic arm had he not injured his throwing arm. If you watch Aikman's highlights before his injury his arm strength was the greatest I've seen outside of Bret Favre. Irvin said if you weren't careful he would break your fingers. Ironically because of that injury, I think he became even more accurate. His throwing motion improved because he didn't rely just on arm strength. But having Norv Turner as the quarterback whisperer could have played a part in that as well. But yeah man. Aikman was the most accurate quarterback in history. Steve Young has better efficiency numbers. But I consider that due to that West Coast offense passing to the running backs out of the backfield concept.
Aikman's 92 season is fascinating by how he got better as the season progressed. 1st 8 games: 10-10 TD-INT ratio, Passer Rating of 81.3 Last 8 games: 13-4 TD-INT ratio, Passer Rating of 97.7 3 Playoff Games: 8-0 TD-INT ratio, Passer Rating of 126.4 Extra Fun Fact: 13-16 for 230 yds 2-0 TD-INT ratio, Perfect Passer Rating 158.3 in the 2nd Half of the NFC Championship Game
Fantastic video. It's hard to believe people today just look at numbers and overlook players from the past, but here we are. Troy Aikman is my all time favorite Dallas Cowboys player, and always will be. In fact my son is named Troy lol. He had all the tools, including a hunger to win. He, Emmitt and Michael Irvin are underrated today, but I would take them any day to win a big game, because they delivered when it mattered. Thank you for posting, you've created an incredible channel, and I really enjoy your videos!
Okay first up brother your videos are really on another level for real cowboy fans. I don't know that I've seen it better Troy aikman career video than that. So weird all the different connections between Troy Jimmy Emmitt and Michael. One thanks for sure it's hard to compare him to Brady or anybody else because they absolutely could beat you to death back then remember the three step rule or two and a half maybe they can literally pick you up and body slam you. I was alive to witness that while it was happening and when I look back I think oh my God what the hell were we doing
Thanks, bro!! Means a lot. Aikman's arm talent to me was the greatest ever. Quarterbacks like A-rod and Mahomes are in that conversation. But arm talent I'm taking Troy each time.
I defend Troy whenever is needed against those who just look at stats and parrot whatever they hear on sports shows. Give me a QB like Troy any day! A guy who has all the talent but prefers W’s over showcasing his abilities. Someone who has old school morale and next level leadership skills. To be the leader and have everyone fall in line (especially with Cowboys roster)is amazing.
Troy had beast ass players all around. He had plenty of help. Without that great pass protection and great play makers. Troy would've sucked. Tom brady didn't have half of them weapons.
@901MightyMouse The issue with Aikman haters is you guys ignore certain statistics to make your argument credible. When we evaluate pound-for-pound eras... Aikman had one of the most efficient primes in the history of the league and the numbers and accolades prove it.
Aikman's Super Bowl XXVII performance when he won the MVP award was proof positive that he was more than capable of putting up big stats during his career. However, the offense was primarily a running offense & that's why Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher in the league. Also, this is the reason Aikman isn't talked about much when it comes to greatest qbs in NFL History and that's not Aikman's fault. He was definitely selfless when it came to his teammates as all he wanted to do was win championships. Not only that, he almost led a comeback against the 49ers in the '94 NFC Championship Game after being down 21-0 in the first 5 or 7 minutes of the 1st quarter, but ended up losing 38-28. To me, Aikman was definitely one of the all-time great qbs.
Jerry Jones held the 90's Cowboys back from becoming the BEST Football Team in History to win as many Super Bowl Championships EVER. The Dallas Cowboys would have been looked at like the Green Bay Packers when they were winning Championships back in the 50's and 60's! (Before they named them Super Bowls) Go look at how many Championships the Green Bay Packers won in a row, before they were called Super Bowls. That was the 90's Dallas Cowboys! Troy Aikman should be mentioned in ALL the GRESTEST QB's of ALL Time. Him and the other Player's on that 90's Team were held back from winning no telling how many Super Bowl Championships if Jimmy Johnson would have stayed intact! Now the Patriots and Tom Brady are the QB and Team with the most Super Bowl Championships in History! Damn Shame.
Okay just see this drop in about to watch it. Before I do I would like to say that Troy could sling it with anybody. Okay unless it was f****** raining 😑 other than that there isn't a quarterback of his era but I would have taken over Troy. Definitely not Steve Young or bledsoe not even elway at that point of his career. Not only was he deadly accurate he had that something. It's the thing that it's hard to quantify that makes so many first round quarterbacks busts. Luck, situation, team that they get drafted by... But in the end great quarterbacks elevate their teams. And Troy had to do this with Emmett and Michael in his ear. He made the triplets cohesive
I'm taking Aikman any day of the year. Steve Young had better efficient numbers in the regular season. But in the post-season or big ganes no one was better than Aikman in his prime. The guy was born to play in big games.
I was a player in neighboring Okmulgee oklahoma and played him from peewee through high school. The talk about him was rising about him by high school. Thinking to myself I'm going to knock him down a peg or two. I had my chance one play. I broke into the backfield and had him in my sights. 😂 He let go of a pass with the sound of a sonic boom as it whizzed passed my ear hole! 😮OKAY! Maybe he dies have a arm. Still tickes me to this day.
1:21--That hit knocked Aikman out of the game, but Dixon still caught the pass right in stride. Like Stabler said, it could not have been thrown any better--especially THEN!
I think he's the greatest owner in NFL history! But ironically the worst manager in history as well. Lol. I have a love-hate understanding of Jones. Although I do think it's Steven Jones and Will McLay who is making the ultimate decisions at this point. In many cases Jones is just the face of the franchise.
Great video my guy. I liked the old footage of aikman as a youngster. Yes, the man was deadly accurate. There’s no doubt he’s a worthy hall of famer, but let me challenge you. Let’s say he never got a ring. Say Dallas gets eliminated in a champ game, or even a Super Bowl and it happened his whole career. Do you think he’d get in on his stats alone?
I think they would have gone a different route. Instead of running the ball like they did. They probably would have turned the offense into a passing scheme. If they did that he still goes to the Hall of Fame. Aikman would have broken all kinds of records. But to answer your question more directly. No, he doesn't get in based on the stats he has if you add in post-season loses. But the stats he had were because of scheme, not skill. In fact if you break down his numbers and compare it with quarterbacks of his own era Aikman was the most efficient quarterback of the 90s outside of Steve Young.
@@thelogicalcowboythanks for taking the time for that response. And I agree, emmitt and the running game is exactly why he had the stats he did. I wasn’t implying and denigrating to aikman by that. My hypothetical was kind of faulty cause I’m assuming nothing else changes and the offense remains how it was, but they could never clinch the Super Bowl.
@@thelogicalcowboyI always think about this. Let me give you a couple more on who you’d give a HOF nod to: Eli manning and Russel Wilson (if his career ended today). I say yes to both.

"While the rest wanted to break records, he wanted to win championships." Facts!!! Great video Cowboy!
Thanks bro!
Great stuff. Aikman and Irvin learned the value of work ethic and with two opposite childhoods reached the same level of success because of it.
Well said!!
Self discipline, self motivated and it all showed on the field. All the fame never got to him and he held everyone accountable. His work ethic and Michael's held everyone to a different standard. Thank you for this. My first Cowboys game was his rookie yr against the Cards. He got knocked out on the pass and Dixon made the T.D. Definition of the perfect TEAMMATE
Great post! Couldn't have said it any better.
I would put his arm talent up against anyone in history. I think you can make the case he’s pretty underrated
I agree. His arm talent was otherworldly! Unbelievable!
He was as good as anyone. He was in a run heavy offense and never uttered a peep bc it was about winning 100% . Give me that over stat-conscious QB all day.

I love Troy’s dropback. It’s so quick and assertive.
No one ever talk about that part of his game. Very underrated.
1992 cowboys greatest team in franchise history
Legendary! We had some great teams.
Thanks for the excellent recap. Troy is DA MAN, and still is today. Class in every sense of the word.
Thanks for watching!
Great QB,great RB,greatWR=3Super Bowls.Shoud have won 4 straight.Just imagine that.GO 'BOYS!Thanks for an epic trip down memory lane.
You're welcome!

Appreciate you bro!
I anticipate videos from this guy more than I do stuff on actual TV
Wow wow wow it’s crazy how he crossed paths with most of his teammates in college. I never knew he played against Emmitt in college .
Appreciate you bro! 🙏. It's crazy how destiny can come together!
Wow! I never knew that either. 👍
And he played against Michael Irvin as well. Irvin went to the U. Troy was at Oklahoma. It was a great game but Troy broke his leg in the game. It's on CZcams.
12:34 is so cool. Talk about foreshadowing to what was to come down the road with Troy and Emmitt
Great video!
It sure was. I stumbled on the video during my research. I couldn't believe it.
@@thelogicalcowboy My first time ever seeing that. And I thought I saw it all. Very cool find. Keep up the great work!
Go Cowboys!
Awesome video and Narration. Troy was probably one of the most accurate passers in history.
He truly was. Thanks bro!
Aikman was a beast!!! The one thing that made me laugh is whenever a play was made, Troy always had that look on his face like “what happened?” But Aikman won and won often.

Yep. The chance to study behind one of all-time greats is going to be a huge benefit to his career.
My favorite Cowboy of all time !!
I was s huge fan of his as a kid. It is wild watching this realizing he was running the ball, and well, in High school and college.
I felt that the Cowboys were never out of a game when he was in there. The only other QB I can say that about was Joe Montana.
When he was hot,he was on 🔥
Was blessed to see him play at Texas Stadium many times.
Thank you for your content.

Former 49er's coach George Seifert once said, that Troy Aikman had great separation from the offensive line to his location in the pocket. Seifert was right.
His sense of urgency in that space from pocket to set throw was magnificent. His footwork has to be one of his most underrated quality.

Troy had beast ass players all around. He had plenty of help. Without that great pass protection and great play makers. Troy would've sucked. Tom brady didn't have half of them weapons.
@901MightyMouse
The issue with Aikman haters is you guys ignore certain statistics to make your argument credible. When we evaluate pound-for-pound eras... Aikman had one of the most efficient primes in the history of the league and the numbers and accolades prove it.
Aikman's Super Bowl XXVII performance when he won the MVP award was proof positive that he was more than capable of putting up big stats during his career. However, the offense was primarily a running offense & that's why Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher in the league. Also, this is the reason Aikman isn't talked about much when it comes to greatest qbs in NFL History and that's not Aikman's fault. He was definitely selfless when it came to his teammates as all he wanted to do was win championships. Not only that, he almost led a comeback against the 49ers in the '94 NFC Championship Game after being down 21-0 in the first 5 or 7 minutes of the 1st quarter, but ended up losing 38-28. To me, Aikman was definitely one of the all-time great qbs.
Good post
@@thelogicalcowboy Thanks!
Jerry Jones held the 90's Cowboys back from becoming the BEST Football Team in History to win as many Super Bowl Championships EVER.
The Dallas Cowboys would have been looked at like the Green Bay Packers when they were winning Championships back in the 50's and 60's! (Before they named them Super Bowls)
Go look at how many Championships the Green Bay Packers won in a row, before they were called Super Bowls.
That was the 90's Dallas Cowboys!
Troy Aikman should be mentioned in ALL the GRESTEST QB's of ALL Time.
Him and the other Player's on that 90's Team were held back from winning no telling how many Super Bowl Championships if Jimmy Johnson would have stayed intact!
Now the Patriots and Tom Brady are the QB and Team with the most Super Bowl Championships in History!
Damn Shame.
Okay just see this drop in about to watch it. Before I do I would like to say that Troy could sling it with anybody. Okay unless it was f****** raining 😑 other than that there isn't a quarterback of his era but I would have taken over Troy. Definitely not Steve Young or bledsoe not even elway at that point of his career. Not only was he deadly accurate he had that something. It's the thing that it's hard to quantify that makes so many first round quarterbacks busts. Luck, situation, team that they get drafted by... But in the end great quarterbacks elevate their teams. And Troy had to do this with Emmett and Michael in his ear. He made the triplets cohesive
I'm taking Aikman any day of the year. Steve Young had better efficient numbers in the regular season. But in the post-season or big ganes no one was better than Aikman in his prime. The guy was born to play in big games.
He admitted to not liking the wet weather....... but that 92 championship game as well as the 94 game which they lost were two of his best games.....
I was a player in neighboring Okmulgee oklahoma and played him from peewee through high school. The talk about him was rising about him by high school. Thinking to myself I'm going to knock him down a peg or two. I had my chance one play. I broke into the backfield and had him in my sights. 😂 He let go of a pass with the sound of a sonic boom as it whizzed passed my ear hole! 😮OKAY! Maybe he dies have a arm. Still tickes me to this day.
Wow!!!!! Thanks for sharing this bro!! Lolll!
Aikman to Irvin nuff said.
Back before the NFL wasn’t sports entertainment!
If Irvin #88 would've gotten hurt in the championship against the 49ers we would have another Ring
Facts
WE NEED another Aikmen QB for the DCFL 💙🏈💙🏈!! PRESCOTT can’t do this over and over 😮😮😮🤔🤔🤔!!
Bro you stay putting out fire content like this 🐐
Thanks bro!
Rodger then Troy then take your pick for 3rd , both had similar similar leadership qualities and accuracy but Rodger was more mobile
I agree!
I will use this video for anyone who says Troy was overrated or a bus driver. I hear that a lot.
If Jones would've left Johnson alone they would've won a few more rings I think
Five in a row
Cowboys should have won 6 Super Bowls in the 90's. The team started having trouble with drugs, partying, and car wrecks. Biggest waste in nfl history.
1:21--That hit knocked Aikman out of the game, but Dixon still caught the pass right in stride. Like Stabler said, it could not have been thrown any better--especially THEN!
❤❤
A lot of people think I like number #8 because of Kobe I love number #8 because of Troy Aikman#8
Hey champ 🏆 IT'S been a while ROCKY
CJ Stroud passing reminds me of Troy.
Emmitt@ 28:36 Mark. He made it look so easy. ( But if you had a line like that you could get thru any hole) Winey Karen voice lol.
Outstanding work TLC! Hey what do you think of Jerry Jones? I’m tired of him. Good owner but he’s not a GM.
I think he's the greatest owner in NFL history! But ironically the worst manager in history as well. Lol. I have a love-hate understanding of Jones. Although I do think it's Steven Jones and Will McLay who is making the ultimate decisions at this point. In many cases Jones is just the face of the franchise.
@@thelogicalcowboy yeah I agree
Steve Walsh was. Nothing like aikman but he made great trade bait
He sure did
If Jerry Jones didn't have such a horrible massive ego the Cowboys would of been the Patriots.🤷♂️
A part 2 road to Super bowl 28? 👀
Good idea!
Moral of the story jerry jones screwed everthing up
Great video my guy. I liked the old footage of aikman as a youngster.
Yes, the man was deadly accurate. There’s no doubt he’s a worthy hall of famer, but let me challenge you. Let’s say he never got a ring. Say Dallas gets eliminated in a champ game, or even a Super Bowl and it happened his whole career. Do you think he’d get in on his stats alone?
I think they would have gone a different route. Instead of running the ball like they did. They probably would have turned the offense into a passing scheme. If they did that he still goes to the Hall of Fame. Aikman would have broken all kinds of records. But to answer your question more directly. No, he doesn't get in based on the stats he has if you add in post-season loses. But the stats he had were because of scheme, not skill. In fact if you break down his numbers and compare it with quarterbacks of his own era Aikman was the most efficient quarterback of the 90s outside of Steve Young.
@@thelogicalcowboythanks for taking the time for that response. And I agree, emmitt and the running game is exactly why he had the stats he did. I wasn’t implying and denigrating to aikman by that. My hypothetical was kind of faulty cause I’m assuming nothing else changes and the offense remains how it was, but they could never clinch the Super Bowl.
@@deadlyoneable
I understood the gist of your question. It made sense. Appreciate you bro.
@@thelogicalcowboyI always think about this. Let me give you a couple more on who you’d give a HOF nod to: Eli manning and Russel Wilson (if his career ended today). I say yes to both.
@deadlyoneable
Definitely Russell Wilson! Eli is a toss-up for me. But I wouldn't be mad if he gets in. He did beat Brady 2 times.
Another great vid of course....but....Troy's career numbers vs some of his contemporaries that are in the HOF? Ok, hear me out.....
Are you listening DAK
I have a Troy Aikman rookie card. I would like a million dollars for it but I'm willing to work my way down to 50 bucks.
😆 🤣
I think his only weakness was the long ball
Bart Starr won 5 Championships in 7 years. Match that
Those old stale Championships. This is the superbowl era. Star only has 2 super bowls. Aikman has 3.
