Fixed that for you.

Questionable, last I saw.

Because it happens to all QBs. More passes tends to equate to lower completion percentage and lower yards per attempt.

Staubach (compared to his era) was better than Romo, no doubt. Aikman is probably the most overrated QB to ever live. Really good QB (elite QB for a few seasons), but by and large the beneficiary of a great team, for sure.

Aikman's completion percentage would likely go down with more attempts, as well as his YPA.

Actually, I'm saying that Aikman's YPA would go DOWN over more attempts, because that's what all QBs do (i.e., their YPA goes down with more attempts).

This one? :sbk92

His late game stats are unbelievable, though.

So, you think his yards per attempt would have gone up considerably if he had more attempts? Why would that be?

Pretty cool that the team allows them to do that.

Uh...yes. If I had to pick either of the two in their prime, I would pick Romo every time.

If by "style of offense" you mean how much of a passing team they were, then, yes, I am factoring in the style of offense. Yards per attempt takes into account that "style of offense."

Not sure. It takes too long to collect and compare these stats and I'm too lazy.

This is two logical fallacies (appeal to authority and majority) all wrapped in one single statement. Congrats.

I don't know it. But I do know that Aikman's yards per attempt were a full yard lower than Romo's. Why would having more attempts equate to having a higher yard per attempt? It likely wouldn't. The fact is, we don't know, but all of the evidence points to my conclusion, and none of it...

Good. I picked up Bryant in some fantasy leagues, but not Austin for this very reason. This may change by mid-season.

This is why I compared each of Romo and Aikman to the top 10 QBs of their respective eras. Romo compares much more favorably to the peers of his era than did Aikman. See my reply to dbair. If Aikman would have thrown as much as Romo is stats would have still been worse than Romo's.

This doesn't appear to be true. If they would have thrown an equal number of attempts, AIkman would have thrown fewer yards, fewer TDs and more INTs, even assuming his play didn't decline over more attempts (though it certainly would have declined over more attempts). Aikman's team certainly...

Someone posted this one another forum. It apparently comes from the Cowboys media guide. I've had discussions with people here about how I thought Romo has been a better QB than Aikman, and generally people laughed. As a direct comparison, it's clear Romo is better. But some people like...

I like your incessant positivity.
