    Rumors about Aikman's return were inevitable with Parcell’s fondness of veteran QB’s. As much as I hate the Cowboys I wouldn’t mind him returning. I don’t think he was a great as everyone makes him out to be (many drunken arguments with friends) but I do respect him and think a return would be interesting.

    Here is a link to the ESPN report

    And a link to his marginal career stats if anyone is interested

    No way Aikman returns unless Jerry clones the Cowboy O-line of the mid 90's. With the current O-line Aikman wouldn't last a game.

    If Aikman comes back, they will be holding his funeral around mid-season. No way he is coming back.

    I actually like him in the FOX three man booth with Buck and Collinsworth. He would be missed as a commentator.

    I wonder what changed his mind? I remember him stating emphatically that he wouldn't consider coming back, even if Parcells asked him to, on "PTI" and during a game a few weeks ago.

    As much as I liked Aikman I'd hate to see him die on the field considering the Cowboys are so far away from being a contender, and the O line stinks.

    He wasn't all that good when he left. They need to move forward. He'd make a nice backup at this point.
