Tom Brady and Troy Aikman
In what is most likely to be his last season in the NFL, Tom Brady has the chance to win his eighth Super Bowl title and absolutely cement his place as the GOAT and the greatest to have ever done it.
However even while Tom Brady seems to have conquered everything there is in the sport, he too has his critics. And this time it’s three times Superbowl winner and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman who has pointed out that Tom Brady is unfit and his speed remains a concern.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished the season with an 8-9 record this season and will be playing the Dallas Cowboys at the Raymond James Stadium on Monday for a Superbowl spot in the wildcard round. Even though the Buccaneers have been far from their best the NFC South title win has helped them.
Former NFL quarterback Troy Aikman compliments Tom Brady in cryptic fashion
The NFL Hall of Famer took a good-natured jab at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and said how he’s the most unathletic! It is obviously meant as a joke as Troy Aikman was trying to indicate that despite his lack of speed and foot movement, how effective Tom Brady still is. To put things into perspective Tom Brady leads the charts this season in terms of pass attempts (733) and completions (490).
“I kid him about it — he’s the most un-athletic quarterback in the game,” Aikman said. “I’m 56 years old and I’m pretty confident I can outrun him in the 40-yard dash.”
“Here, they’ve had these line problems. He’s not an elusive quarterback. They’ve given up the least sacks in the NFL. Why is that?” Aikman said. “He will not take a sack.“
Troy Aikman spoke highly of Tom Brady and admitted that he is the ‘Greatest of all time.’ Aikman says it’s very rare to see negative plays from Tom Brady and that is one trait coaches love in him. Any chance given to Brady in the fourth quarter – he will capitalize on it.
“He’ll get the ball out, he doesn’t create negative plays and this is why any team that’s playing a quarterback like him one, he’s the greatest to ever do it, and then also, coaches know, they see that, they recognize, you can’t keep him in it. You give him a chance in the fourth quarter, it’s gonna be a tough finish.”
