Those who don't think much of Tony are not looking at his stats. Even Troy Aikmen has said that Tony is a better QB than he was, but hasn't had the teams to support him that Troy had. Tony is 14th on the all-time NFL list of come from behind wins with 25. Troy Aikmen is 53rd with 16. Troy has 3 Suoer Bowl rings that Tony doesn't however. I don't know if he will ever get voted to the HOF, but here are some of his records to chew on.
