Aikman responded, “It’s both. Just like good coaching elevates the level of play for a team, quality quarterback play elevates the level of play of the players around them. And I think I think Dak does all of that.”“A quarterback can put the ball in places you don’t have to be a great receiver in order to be able to make the play, or you’re able to get into plays that gives your team the best chance. We’ve seen it from Patrick Mahomes. We’ve seen it from Aaron Rodgers. Over the years.
The key difference, between the three, besides the six MVPs between Rodgers and Mahomes, is the playoff success of the two that Aikman compared the two quarterbacking titans with.
