(A post from February 2006)
Unlike Marino and Moon, Aikman did not have the most TDs, yards or completed passes. He did win 3 Super Bowls and made 4 consecutive NFC Championship Game appearances.
I remember the spring of '89. Jones and Johnson had taken over the Cowboys. Landry was out and most fans were very angry. Jones and Johnson selected Troy Aikman as the # 1 draft pick.
Aikman was subsequently surrounded by great players and the Super Bowls came quickly.
Off the field, Aikman was a first class model citizen. He avoided controversy and involved himself in a number of charities.
Aikman was great on the field and was a wonderful role model for the kids.
