this.being the general of one of the NFLs best-ever teams, with 6x pro bowl appearances, 3x SB winner.yeah he belongs there.
Most dominant pitcher from 2008 to 2011 according to reality.I honestly don't see how Aikman got in the NFL Hall of Fame, and it looks unlikely Tim Lincecum will make it into baseballs HOF. They're pretty similar, both 3 titles, both shortish careers, mediocre stats.
Ok, honestly I can kinda agree with these three. They are all from the same era, which is why I do so. These guys all entered the league in the late 60s (Stabler in 70) - but a lot of the greats where still in the game and playing at very high levels (Blanda, Unitas, Starr, Jurgensen, Dawson, Tarkenton) who for the most part all played into the mid 70s. Then in the late 70s and early 80s you had Montana, Marino, Elway, Moon and Young join the league. So with these three guys above making it, we actually had an all time high of 11 future HOF QBs all playing in the 1970, 1971 and 1973 seasons - which is a lot considering there were only 26 teams. By the early 80s (with two more teams added), that was down to only 4.Joe Namath

I think all of these 3 were more emotional selections rather than based on their actual elite performance, To be in the HOF, you should have to be elite.Ok, honestly I can kinda agree with these three.

I'm of the thought that at any given time we should have between 4-6 future HOF QBs playing.
Nobody seriously considers Flacco a HOFerI don't see how anyone can complain about Eli (maybe even Flacco) getting in and not complain about Aikman. Eli won his Super Bowls with much weaker supporting talent to boot.
165 TD vs. 142 INT for his career. 81 QB rating, 7.0 ypa.
It's easy to just throw out the "different eras" reference but Aikman was still in his early 30's in the late 90's. Aikman was putting up 2900-17-12 when Steve Beuerlein was throwing for 4500-36-15.
You could literally put Troy Aikman's numbers his last 4 years when he was still in his prime age-wise up alongside Trent Dilfer's numbers those same years and you wouldn't be able to tell which is which. Seriously...
