Seriously? Their careers overlapped, in fact, in Warner's best season, Aikman was a starting QB in the NFL. <br /><br />I am denying your claim.<br /><br />BobSturminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512218221714280831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-47864782693641964172010-02-01T15:42:04.791-06:002010-02-01T15:42:04.791-06:00Different eras, different styles of play, differen...Different eras, different styles of play, different rules that favor the passing game -- even different playoff setups, with the opportunity to play weaker teams in the Wild Card round. In other words, Warner had the opportunity to pile up stats from Week 1 through the post-season that earlier-era players did not. No offense, Bob, but it's kind of a cheap shot to compare Warner's stats to Aikman's, who retired 10 years ago. <br /><br />Not saying he doesn't belong, but for me the real question is - how does he stack up against other QBs PLAYING NOW? Yes, he's good, but is he as good as Brady, Brees, Favre, or Manning? I think that's your HOF class from this era. I'm not ready to concede that Warner belongs. <br /><br />Have fun in FLL this week.Big Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826903793225094925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-8655197825130627952010-02-01T11:49:01.403-06:002010-02-01T11:49:01.403-06:00On his 2 Super Bowl losses--

In both cases, Warner had his team in a position to win or go to overtime, but the defenses couldn't hold up.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438864981605551484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-51199463529639518672010-02-01T10:55:10.729-06:002010-02-01T10:55:10.729-06:00Nice work, Bob.

I hadn't thought of it that way.TSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601199774317962699noreply@blogger.com
