As expected, let me ask you a question:How do you explain Aikman getting in the HOF this year with a 6+ YPA average for about half his career?
Aikman had a different job, which was to manage the offense and to convert third downs so that that phenomenal o-line could continue to pound the ball. He excelled at that. His cumulative numbers, despite getting hurt the last four years of his career by a declining and mediocre team around him, still total over 7 ypa and 60% completions, which were my threshhold indicators for "solid" QB'ing for lack of a better term. Then, of course, there's his record in the playoffs and Super Bowls:
