2) Troy Aikman (1989-2000) Drafted 1st overall in the 1989 NFL Draft, Aikman would go on to lose the first 11 games he started as a rookie for Dallas. Once the learning process was over, Aikman would guide the Cowboys to thr
ee Super Bowl wins (1992, 1993 and 1995 seasons). A highly accurate passer who completed 61.5% of his regular season passes, Aikman is the holder of virtually all the Cowboy's career passing records, including yards passing (32,942), touchdowns (165), and completions (2,898). A six time Pro Bowler (1991-1996), Troy added 3,894 yards and 24 touchdowns in the postseason. Like Staubach before him, Aikman won his share of games for Dallas (94 regular season victories; 11 in the post season). The MVP of the Super Bowl in 1992, Aikman was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
(3) Danny White (1976-1988)
Four losses in the NFC Conference Championships prevented Danny White from joining the ranks of Staubach and Aikman as a Super Bowl quarterback. Still, White led Dallas to 8 post season victories in 13 games, and added 62 regular season wins in 92 starts. Playing in a combine 166 games for Dallas, White would go on to throw for 21,959 yards and 155 touchdowns for the Cowboys. Selected for the 1982 Pro Bowl game, the versatile White doubled as the Cowboy punter for most of his career in Dallas, punting 610 times for a 40.2 career average.

Best Single Season Yd Completion
Danny White (1983) 3,980 yd pass
Roger Staubach (1979) 3,586 yd pass
Troy Aikman (1992) 3,445 yd pass
Yes, Danny White was a better QB than Troy.
Now Roger's career yds passing is 22700 and had 153 TD, which BARELY surpasses Danny's. Is Roger a better QB? Yes, by far. He had better numbers compared to his peers, was the dominant QB of his era and could seemingly take over a game singlehandedly. Troy was not any of these things.
Again, you can't compare career stats from different eras. The Dallas Cowboy offensive line during Troys was the best offensive line in the history of the league and they belong in the HOF, not Troy or Irvin.
BTW, Roger was drafted in the 10th round. Kurt Warner was undrafted, Joe Montana was draft in the 3rd round, Johnny U. in the 9th round...
Finally, show me a link where Danny White says Aikman was a better QB than him.
