Aikman raves about Romo

Tony Romo has already shattered the franchise record for touchdowns in a season, and he's on pace to obliterate the yardage record, too. Those records were set by Danny White in 1983, but Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach set the Hall of Fame standard for quarterbacks around these parts.
But Aikman said that Romo's performance this season is by far the best by a quarterback in franchise history.
"You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that one. Right?" Aikman said in a chat with media at Valley Ranch today. "I mean, seriously, I would say that it's been by far the best season a quarterback has had."
Aikman acknowledged that Romo won't be satisfied with his season unless the Cowboys win a Super Bowl. (And, by the way, Aikman believes the Cowboys could beat the Patriots three or four out of 10 meetings.) But Aikman certainly won't argue with folks who say that the Cowboys' two Hall of Famers never had a season this good.
"If you put my best two years together, I don't think you'd come up with the numbers that he's going to have at the end of the season," Aikman said. "Unless Roger's got a beef with it, I certainly don't."
