Aikman to name one took a ton of hits his first two seasons and the skins dished out alot of them.

Yeah I think that 'Spurrier ruined him' excuse is quickly losing any real merit. Like you said, he took a beating in college too. Taking a beating doesn't excuse the same mistakes he keeps making.

Holding onto the ball way too long and not having an accurate deep ball are his hallmarks, not a result of any offenses he's played in.
