Troy Aikman – Dallas Cowboys
Our final entry in this discussion spotlights yet another quarterback who basked in the glory of an exceptionally talented team. With three Super Bowl rings as a Cowboy and an MVP title in his debut Super Bowl appearance, his resume gleams with impressive accomplishments. Garnering Pro Bowl honors on six occasions and clinching the NFL completion percentage leader title in 1993, he certainly left his mark on the game.
However, one notable absence looms large: he never secured a spot on the All-Pro team. His passer rating, a respectable 81.6, might owe its shine to the remarkably well-coordinated machinery that was the Cowboys, with each player making a significant contribution, though some might argue that Aikman’s impact was less pronounced. While his Hall of Fame credentials might not shine as brightly as others, at the very least, he steers clear of the darker controversies that have cast shadows over some of his peers.
