Fans Slam Troy Aikman For A Tweet On Star QB Patrick Mahomes From 2017

Regretfully, the internet never forgets Troy Aikman. NFL fans trolled Troy Aikman shortly after Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes defeated the San Francisco 49ers to win his third Super Bowl on Sunday night, unearthing an old tweet from the legendary Dallas Cowboys player turned ESPN pundit that had aged like milk.

Fans Slam Troy Aikman For A Tweet On Star QB Patrick Mahomes From 2017

During Mahomes’s NFL ascent in September 2019, AIKMAN had to weigh in after seeing a tweet on X, then known as Twitter. Why? “Patrick Mahomes has thrown 36% of Troy Aikman’s career touchdowns, in roughly 8% of the games,” the article said.

Recall that he had just concluded his first complete season as a starter and had yet to win a Super Bowl at this point in his career.

They cited the fact that Mahomes has only thrown 36 percent of Aikman’s touchdowns in eight percent of his games as evidence of his potential. A player’s career isn’t actually shown by that number, but talking points are necessary for podcasts.

Upon noticing this tweet, Aikman hilariously mocked the quarterback, who wasn’t doing so well at the moment.

More than four years ago, Aikman remarked, “iCYMI: Talk to me when when he has 33% of my Super Bowl Titles.”

But as of Sunday night, Mahomes, who is 28 years old, has already won as many Super Bowls as Aikman did in his whole Hall of Fame career. Naturally, when Aikman’s previous message went viral, supporters and commentators went bonkers.

Before Mahomes earned a ring, Aikman—who won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys—alluded to the fact that he wasn’t the genuine deal.

With the 49er’s loss in Super Bowl LVIII, Mahomes has matched his record and is still under 30 years old.

When did Troy Aikman retire from football?

The Cowboys finished 8-8 and fell to the Minnesota Vikings 27-10 in their Wild Card playoff game. His career as a professional football player ended after the 2000 campaign.

How many MVps did Troy Aikman win?

Following the 1993 season, he made six consecutive Pro Bowls and came in sixth in the MVP vote. But above all, he contributed to the team’s three title victories.

Did Troy Aikman win a ring?

With the Cowboys, he would go on to win three Super Bowl rings in the end. He also guided the club to four straight NFC title games, winning them in 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995. From 1992 to 1997, he was named for six consecutive Pro Bowls.
