On the other hand, I think Aikman is pretty damn good.

I think Aikman is the next best (after Madden who is an NFL Icon) and Moose is decent. That doesn't mean I won't always dislike them on some level.
As far as Irvin, I consider him a less knowledgable Sean Salisbury. Irvin was great at discussing the game from the player's perspective (especially big games) but I always think that his off the field troubles hung over him. The Romo comment probably sealed the deal on this because him getting into the Hall of Fame would be a huge boost to his credentials.
Irvin will find a job somewhere. I wouldn't say he was bad, he was just a little over the top for me.
