2008 NFL Season

[Moonie]

I didn't say, and I should have, that the media should now stop annointing Romo as the next Roger Staubach.

Staubach was one of a kind, they'll not be another one.

Troy Aikman was close, of course, he played football @ Oklahoma University...

didn't he play at UCLA?

He was born in Ca..moved to Henryetta, OK when he was 12 and played HS football in Henryetta...his parents still live there and he often turns up in Tulsa, OK...

he played under Switzer @ OU

I didn't say, and I should have, that the media should now stop annointing Romo as the next Roger Staubach.

That I agree with wholeheartedly.

He's not even the next Craig Morton.

I hate claiming ignorance, but who's Craig Morton? ......
Edit, never mind I looked it up....

..where he quickly realized he was too good a QB to simply run the old wishbone offense.

He transferred to UCLA soon after his first year, and directed their pro-style offense under Terry Donohue.
I thought it was ironic that Switzer ended up baby-sitting the 'Boys after Jimmy Johnson, and sitting back
and watching Aikman direct a pro-set offense that Switzer always had resisted at OU.

[Moonie]

whatever...they won the Orange Bowl against Penn State, AND the National Championship that year...

At least Grogan had a decent career....Eason was a prima donna that had one or two OK seasons....and he made the record books as the only NFL starting QB to start a Superbowl and not complete a pass.....he went 0-6 before they pulled him and put Grogan in.

WOW! my voice is still a no show today. What a great time last night at the Q. I Cannot believe that the Bolts made such an improbable charge to make the playoffs. I would like to thank The Panthers, Chiefs, Bills, Bucks and of course the Broncos for their part in the only positive san diego sports has had in 2008. One horse team down, one to go.

As for Romo.... he is an average QB with an extraordinaly arm...period. Till he wins a BIG game.....average

he played under Switzer @ OU

He only played 1 year there ...got hurt then transferred to UCLA....I don't consider him a sooner. I Knew he grew up in OK.

[TheSecretsInTheCrust]

After further review it appears to make the pro bowl in the AFC this year at QB you much s***.
Cutler and Farve....PALEEEEAAAASE!

well, he considers himself an OKIE.


btw, I didn't say he was a Sooner, I said played football @ OU under Switzer. which he did.

wasn't he red-shirted @ UCLA? and Switzer oversaw his transfer to UCLA, also.

Another reason why the pro-bowl voting should be from Week 8 to Week 17. Then announce who made it during the wild card weekend.

Leaving the game last night. Denver fans were getting more crap about Cutler in the Pro Bowl than they were about choking a 3 game lead with 3 to play

He didn't redshirt, he sat out a year because the NCAA rule is you can't play the first year after you transfer.

ESPN's sports ticker is posting that Bill Cowher is interested in the Jets job

Aikman, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006, began his career at Oklahoma but transferred to UCLA after two seasons. After redshirting in 1986, he started all 24 games of his career in 1987 and 1988, leading the Bruins to a record of 10-2 in each season. The Bruins tied for the Pac-10 title and won the Aloha Bowl in 1987 and won the Cotton Bowl following the 1988 season.

As a junior, Aikman earned second-team All-America honors. As a senior, he was the consensus All-America quarterback, won the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award and finished third in the Heisman Trophy balloting. A few months later, the Dallas Cowboys made him the No. 1 selection in the 1989 NFL Draft.

During his two years as a Bruin, Aikman completed 406 of 627 passes (64.8%) for 5,298 yards, 41 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. The 41 touchdowns rank No. 5 in UCLA history as do the 406 completions while the 5,298 yards rank sixth. His completion percentage (.648) ranks second in school history among players who have passed for at least 2,000 career yards.

As a junior, he completed 178 of 273 passes (65.2%) for 2,527 yards, 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions. As a senior, he upped his totals to 228 completions (a school record at the time, still third on the single-season list) in 354 attempts (64.4%) for 2,771 yards (second at the time, still fifth), 24 touchdowns (a school record at the time, still tied for third) and nine interceptions.
