Troy Aikman is arguably the greatest quarterback in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s also a three-time Super Bowl champion and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, or ‘FitzMagic,’ is a career journeyman. But, the 35-year-old has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL so far this season.

And one fan tweeted a stat that insinuated Fitzpatrick is a better quarterback than Aikman.

The latter then responded on Twitter.

It’s worth noting that Aikman’s career was shortened by concussions.

And up to this point in his career, Fitzpatrick has not handed the ball off to a running back as talented as Emmitt Smith.
