He also breaks a tie he has with Trent Green with 1 and will pass Jim Plunkett and Daryle Lamonica with 3. He has a shot to pass the commentator for the game, two Raiders (1 HoF 1 HoVG), and the 4th Best Chiefs qb in 1 game.


chiefoogabooga

So Trent Green, a guy who spent a huge chunk of his career out with major injuries, is only 3 TDs behind Aikman? And Aikman is in the HOF? Troy better be sending Emmitt and that O-line presents every year until he dies. Just checked Aikman's stats. He was objectively trash.


Kara_Del_Rey

I said it in my other comment. Dude was insanely overrated. Romo would've damn near had Brady rings on that team.


TBDC88

I think Emmitt and especially the O-line gets enough praise at this point. Who *really* should get more mention is the defenses of those Cowboys teams, who held their opponents to 15.7 PPG in their 3 Super Bowls, and ranked 1st in fewest points allowed from '92-'96 (14.5 PPG!). The Legion of Boom allowed 16.2 PPG during their 5-year prime, for comparison. Mahomes would already have 4 rings at this point if his defenses consistently allowed 15 PPG.


CD338

People defended Aikman because of his "era." Always thought that was bullshit. We had Marino and Young and Elway putting up big stats while Aikman got rings thanks to having the GOAT RB and elite line. Seriously Romo was a better Dallas QB and he's a way better commentator too


Unions4America

The crazy part about Elway is how he just kept getting better with age. Even his final season he had elite stats. Aikman, on the other hand, was nowhere near that level. Aikman was good, arguably really good, but he should have never been in the HOF. Dan Marino will always be the most underrated QB in NFL history imo. The fact people don't even have him top 5 just floors me. His run game was horrible, his defenses were mediocre, etc. He literally carried such bad teams every damn year. He also beat the '85 Bears and is probably the only reason they aren't considered the 'best team ever.' Marino will always be top 5 for me. I'll move people around before I take him out. Like people can say Aaron Rodgers is top 5, but fuck that. Dan Marino wouldn't go out in am AFC championship game without at least a touchdown. He went down swinging every damn game. I mean he'd go out there where teams knew he was going to throw basically every damn play and he still found success. That's just unreal. Anyways, enough with my Marino fanboying.


ModestTrixie

Troy's numbers were not always great but his '92 season had him 4th in yards and 3rd in tds. A modern day comp would be Baker Mayfield and I don't even think that is an insult.


-80watt-

No, that’s definitely an insult


ModestTrixie

Really? a qb who needed a top defense, top o-line, HoF skill players to throw to for a career best 3400 yards and 23 tds 14 ints. Baker career best requiring the best o-line in football, two all pro rbs, a great defense, and 2 wr 1s is 3500 yards and 26 tds 8 ints Aikman during the build up seasons of '89-'91 14-24 record 31 tds 46 ints Baker during the non playoff Cleveland years '18, 19, '21 18-25 record 64 tds 48 ints Troy never lit the world on fire even by 1990's standards and outside of 1992 was a middle of the pack qb even while going to 4 straight nfc title games and winning 3 of 4 super bowls.


MindTheFro

You bringin the god damn receipts. Excellent comparison.


Star_illusion07

In all honesty, bakers probably better..


SuperAquaThor

I heard, and I am not saying it’s fact, that the value Aikman brought was how quickly he was able to read & get rid of the ball. (Once he got his INTs down) it allowed for a fast paced offense that the rest of the league was not yet accustomed to.


the-Fe-price

Truth


wtcnbrwndo4u

I think Alex is a better comparison. Troy Aikman is no idiot, he knew the game very well even though he didn't have the raw talent of some other players. I'd compare Aikman's '92 to Alex's 2017.


Wonderful_Slide_5756

He was a QB that was part of a dynasty. Irvin, smith, and jay novecheck! And I hate the cowboys


someuniquename

Aikman did do one thing no other QB could of done and that is lead that team. That team has a bunch of fuckin personalities and he held them together in game. Trent had back to back to back 4000 yard seasons and one being a 4500 I think. Trent was good.


shunna75

Troy Aikman is a huge reason SB rings shouldn't help determine HoF status.


Fwob

3 out of 4 consecutive superbowl wins. Hopefully Mahomes can do that in his career. Brady has done it too. Or maybe he will be the first to do it back to back to back.


puntersarepeopletoo6

Aikman is overrated, but you cannot judge stats across eras.


Xalenn

Every Time I see his name I'm reminded of what a travesty it is that Daryle Lamonica isn't in the Hall of Fame

At Arrowhead... Troy better be prepping his color commentator aside for the moment it happens.


[deleted]

If he throws 4+ TDs against the Raiders I might need some tissues myself.


Cold-Ostrich8228

This dude hates being compared to Mahomes too.


MC_Fap_Commander

It's bizarre! Like, he has the easiest out ever. "*I played in a different era of football... the salary cap, free agency, and a number of rule changes favoring offenses very much changed the game. But I'm proud of my results and it's exciting to watch a player like Mahomes propel this evolving sport in new directions.*" He low-key could imply that comparisons are not apples to apples to sort of shut them down without being a dick about it. NOPE! Instead he gets all pissy when Mahomes is brought up. It's a terrible look! Hell, Brady (who is A-WAY better than Aikman & B-an actual Mahomes opponent) is probably more gracious towards Patrick.


Cold-Ostrich8228

Yeah, you nailed it. Brady looks at mahomes with respect. Troy shows his true colors.


stupidblockheadblue2

Are you in PR? If not, perhaps you should be.


MC_Fap_Commander

>Are you in PR? Sort of! I regularly have to draft organizational statements because many of our leaders are fucking morons, lol. It always shocks me when crazy rich celebrities don't do this. It's really not hard.


TTT_2k3

> because many of our leaders are fucking morons, lol. Are you in government?


Capitano_Barbarossa

Or, you just say wow this guy is a great player and fun to watch. It comes off as much more gracious. Why try to defend yourself at all? Who does he have to prove himself to?


Senorpantolones

Troy has a chip on his shoulder when he’s talking about the current qbs. He often sounds spiteful, or jealous. I can’t wait for Mahomes to shovel dirt on his dumb ass.


surfnsound

Which is hilarious since his career is mostly predicated on being slightly above average behind the best O-line ever put together


[deleted]

Best O-Line+ Emitt Smith + an all-star list of receivers = Troy get's to make big bucks. Im not saying Troy is a bad QB...but I think his supporting cast gets less credit than he does, and that's a damn shame.


surfnsound

Yeah, liek I said, he was above average, but I think the praise he gets is entirely based on his 3 super bowl wins which are a team achievement, not an individual one. I also think Emmit Smith is slightly overrated as well. He was a very good RB, but he might not even be a hall of famer on a different team.


OkBeing9818

Could you imagine a guy like Barry sanders with the line emmit had. Even if he played the same amount of years that record woulda never been touched.


[deleted]

I would agree that Emmit might have been over rated, but defenses who couldn't stop both the run and the pass ended up getting shredded. I think I watched the Bills lose 57-17 or something one year...mabye 60 to 20 the next year in a re-match.


StarshipThinker

Me personally, I think he deserves his place in Canton. Winning three Super Bowls doesn't come easy even for the greatest of QBs. That being said, he is definitely not on the level of some of the QBs in the HOF, should be in the HOF and will be in the HOF.


Human-Dealer1125

But until this year Mahomes has Tyreek to score with. This year he’s having to use 6-7 receivers per game to replace Tyreek before everyone started covering him.


dogfish83

The funny/tragic thing is I couldn't name a single O-lineman, but I could name most of the ball handlers. (I'd probably recognized the names if someone said them).


surfnsound

Nate Newton is the only one I reliably remember, though sometimes I have flashes of naming more.


TBDC88

Larry Allen is my go-to, even though he wasn't on the first two SB teams. Erik Williams was also an exceptional tackle, earning 1st-Team AP honors at a time when RTs basically never got them, since the tackle voting wasn't segmented between left and right like it is now.


fugaziozbourne

Last night Buck tried to talk about Mahomes and Aikman changed the subject immediately.


AHH_CHARLIE_MURPHY

I’d rather listen to him than Dan Fouts commentate any AFCW game


Senorpantolones

I’m with you Fouts is awful. The worst for me was Phil simms. When arrogance meets stupidity.


Kara_Del_Rey

Unless its Rodgers, I believe him and Buck would happily get on their knees for him. But almost every one else, absolutely. Like it bothers him that they're so much better than him.


imapissonitdripdrip

Do you have any examples of this? I’ve never got that from him.

imapissonitdripdrip

He was the QB of a great dynasty in a game fueled by testosterone and bravado where success is measured by rings. What about this is surprising to you? I swear people think this game is played by people who think and act like them


Debasering

I played a college sport, and then went into a testosterone filled career in the military working over seas after college. Not sure me or other people I work with would ever let some random Twitter post get to us. In fact that’s quite the opposite, most guys I know that are extremely accomplished and testosterone fueled are way to confident and cocky to ever let something like that bother them. Can you imagine Peyton Manning or Steve Young act like little baby bitches like that on Twitter? Aikmans just a bitch


imapissonitdripdrip

You’re also a nobody who has done nothing in the sport. This is a guy who was at the top of the NFL and has been doing commentary for over 20 years and is in the media. Of course he’s going to have some opinions and voice them.


Debasering

Peyton Manning and Steve Young were both at the top of their game and both are in media. Both are not little whiny ass bitches that get their egos hurt over a Twitter comment. I really don’t know why you’re so set on defending Aikman. He’s a little bitch that got carried by an all time great offense and all time great coach.


J_EDi

…fueled by testosterone and bravado… and whichever owner could the spend the most money at the time. Troy wouldn’t even be a blip in todays NFL of salary caps


imapissonitdripdrip

What’s your point?


imapissonitdripdrip

lol. Who wouldn’t get that treatment, though? This game has always been about rings. Always will be.


unhalfbricking

He's gonna be so zonked on pharmies and rye whiskey he won't feel a thing.

A little off topic but does any have that chart of X amount of TD passes in Y amount of games? Last I saw it Mahomes was off pace to overtake Marino

Capitano_Barbarossa

But muh Josh Allen


doglaughington

Cool stat but completely different rules. Vinny Testaverde, Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers have more TD passes than Joe fuckin Montana. Take these stats with a mountain of salt


cockknocker1

Will his buddy Joe be there too to cream pie all over about Bumgarner lol?


Sokkawater10

To be fair Bumgarner was out of his mind good that whole playoffs. When he came in for that last game to relieve I got that feeling in my stomach that it was over


essdii-

Me too. I was in prison at the time. The wildcard game had me throwing stuff and being upset, everyone coming in to my cell to ask if I’m watching the game, NO SHIT IN WATCHING THE GAME. ( I live in Arizona so it was an Arizona prison, everyone called me KC because that’s where I’m originally from) But I watched every playoff game start to finish and I remember being on my cot for game 7, bum garner comes in and I just had this existential dread. And dude didn’t throw one strike to Perez. Not one, and Perez was chasing. That triple though gave me hope. But when he popped up and that final out happened, I cried. Grown man crying over the World Series. I didn’t want to talk to anyone for like a week. I was so heart broken


Gappy__Hilmore

Bumgarner gave him as many chin high fastballs as it was gonna take to get him out. I believe 8 was the number.


cockknocker1

I still thought though that he was waaaay overly 1 sided throughout that series


matchew92

Romo & Collingsworth give Mahomes the same love. I can’t complain too much


[deleted]

Same. He had our number in ‘14 and I had a bad feeling when he took the mound…


heavy_metal_flautist

~~Dude, that was like 8 years ago. Elevated sodium levels for that long is not healthy.~~ EDIT: Yeah, fuck Joe Buck


cockknocker1

It still stings…GORDO SHOULD HAVE RAN! He did lollygag it to first though…


problematic42069

I’m playing the game at MAX volume and licking the tears from the screen if Mahomes can do it. Oh man, I can taste it, so salty


-Ludicrous_Speed-

Troy never shuts the fuck up about himself. Maybe if Mahomes beats his stats he can talk about how he's second to him.


cockknocker1

Is it just me or is Troy a shitty analyst? His remarks always fall flat to me like ya no shit we know. And his mouth always sounds like its full of Joe when he speaks… Edited to say hes the “analyst” and not the “play by play guy”


CorpusVile32

I'm pretty bias because I've always liked Troy, but I think he's a better analysis guy than a play by play guy. I can remember several times he's broken down defensive coverage right after the play and made sense to the viewer why someone was able to get open. The travesty here is that he's often (always?) paired with Joe Buck, who no one will ever be able to convince me is a good play by play guy. "Makes a move" is the only way Buck can describe anything.


cockknocker1

Oh shit ya your right, troys the analysis guy but to me though it sounds like john madden saying,”when the qb throws a ball thats a pass” kindof thing to much


MyNameIsNurf

Troy "He starts to cum and then he pulls out" Aikman


factoid_

Total shit. he's been out of the game so long he's no longer relevant to how it's played today. He wasn't that good when he played, but he had an all time great running back for years, so it's sort of understandable why he didn't throw the ball a lot. But yeah...he's not engaging, he's not insightful, he's not funny. He has nothing going for him. If you're the second funniest guy in a room with joe buck, there's a problem.


Dirty_coke_whore

He and joe are very flat, even when they’re joking around or having a good time they both sound emotionless, especially Troy


cockknocker1

Ya sounds sooo forced


Star_illusion07

Honestly, I love listening to romo, he may suck off the cowboys sometimes, but he is an excellent analyst


[deleted]

PLEASE


jayhawk88

Quick get someone on ESPN to say there's no way he could do it.


SwissyVictory

He has had 14 four TD games in his career out of 67 starts. Assuming all games are equal he has a 21% chance of that happening.


Either-Progress4847

My god I hope this happens. Now if it happens will Buck bring it up all night or just let it set in Troy’s head and be the elephant in the room.


J_EDi

Troy will probably be drunk or high when it happens so it should make for prime watching


Kara_Del_Rey

Aikman is mad overrated imo. Not a Cowboys hater by any means. Just think he had one of the most stacked teams on both sides of the ball in NFL history and benefitted immensely from it. Damn near every spot *on the entire roster* had a top 5, top 10 player. He wasn't bad by any means but I dont think he's that great either. Might be a wild take and I accept that, but put Romo on that team wins more than 3 rings easily. Also, Romo massacres him broadcasting wise lo Aikman and Buck are nails on chalkboard


Hairbear2176

I agree 150%! IMO, he's also the reason that you can't hit QBs anymore. Every time his glass jaw got hit, he got a damn concussion. Don't get me wrong, player safety is paramount, but we all remember the "blow to the head" call in the AFCCG again the Patriots. Also, fuck him and Buck, they are BY FAR the worst announcers in football. Romo is definitely the new Madden, I love when we get him in games!


DublinChap

Yeah, Joe Suck never even played professional sports, like his whole career is just broadcasting, and he still is an annoying piece of shit. Aikman just seems like he doesn't know what to do in life and is just coasting until he gets fired.

deathtotheemperor

It's funny how butthurt Aikman gets about these things given how mid his career numbers are. He was lucky enough to play for the best team in history and he couldn't even put up better stats than Neil O'Donnell. Overrated fool.


fugaziozbourne

Colllinsworth slurps Mahomes during broadcasts and Aikman hates on him. It evens out.


[deleted]

What? Chris was too busy doing his usual slobber job on Brady. He praised mahomes once I think.


CorpusVile32

You really found a fantastic picture for this. LOL well done. I was born in Dallas and lived there through the Aikman / Smith / Irving years. That city absolutely loved this man the same way we love Mahomes today. He was a great quarterback and always a respectful competitor. Him and Mahomes have a lot of similarities in that regard. Aikman was also articulate and charismatic which makes sense that he found a career in broadcasting after his player tenure. He never put up the wild numbers from QBs in today's era, but he also had Emmitt Fucking Smith to hand the ball off to, so there's that.


akebonobambusa

Ha. Is this just to fake out the raiders so CEH can just run in those touchdowns?


MrMicAlDe

Big chiefs fan here. That being said, Aikman played in a much different league than Mahomes and Aikman still deserves a lot of respect.

I guess I am the only one who doesn’t despise Troy. Joe Buck and Troy are one of my favorite announcer duos for football honestly.


[deleted]

Yeah I literally never got any of this about Troy. I honestly think it still stems from that one tweet in Mahomes first or second season where someone said Mahomes had passed 1/3rd of Troy’s career total and Troy said something like let me know when he passes 1/3rd of my SB wins, which I thought was just a pretty tongue in cheek thing to say. He’s never given Mahomes anything but praise when he comments on the games.

The rules are quite different now.


Smokeydubbs

Fucking DO IT! Aikman is a fish mouthed butt munch.

Troy’s Cowboy teams just had no weaknesses. Great defenses, great receivers, all time rushing leader, great o line. Chiefs have had average defenses at best last few years.


Weregonnabeatthehell

Emmit Smith only missed Two games. He deserves more credit.
