There is smoke coming out my ears on this one as I try to jump start my memory but I'm think it was Tim Rossenbach (sp?) who as I recall was the Cards highly touted QB prospect a la Aikman.

Continuing the '89 theme, who was the leading passer, rusher, and receiver for the Cowboys in that 1-15 season? (Most yards pass, rush, receive)

If so, we gave up a 4th round choice in 66 and as well as the 1st, 2nd, and 2 5th round choices for him in 67.

Yea, Ralph Neely, good job.

This is one of the few I think I know.

Calvin Hill, and I will guess 1972.

I know Duane Thomas did not run for 1000 yds in either 70 or 71, but he did have 5.3 yds per carry one of those years.

What was the name of the movie where a NO Saint QB was killed in his last game after being hit by Pugh, Lilly, and Niland...I never said it was a good movie...?

Bonus points for naming the actor playing the QB.

[Maikeru-sama]

LTN, you are correct. It was 1970, when he averaged 5.32 YPC.

Hmmm, never heard of this movie. Also just curious, how could John Niland hit a QB during a play?

- Mike G.

[Maikeru-sama]

BTW LTN, that is one hell of an AVATAR.
