Video: PFT: Is Troy Aikman or Roger Staubach the best Cowboys QB ever?

[Blackrain]

I believe the comparison was Staubach and Aikman.
In Aikman's era, they absolutely did bang QBs heads into the ground.

Even in Romo's time, they purposely broke collar bones of QBs.

I love Roger Staubach. He's my hero's hero. But he would've been beaten to death
in Philly in the early 90s.

Sorry but Roger would have stomped a mud hole in there like he did in the 70s when the Eagles won like 2 games against us .

Roger played against Page, Eller, Marshall, Deacon Jones , Merlin Olsen , Joe Green and was always in top physical condition having the lowest body fat of any player at the time .

Roger was a battle tested NFL God that was the prime reason why Eagles fans hate the Cowboys with such a passion even today

 

[Blackrain]

I'm not gonna go watch Staubach's entire history. Highlights are just highlights.

Yea Geez for gods sake don't do that you might learn something about real Cowboy history that dosent include Romo LOL

He also had 11 concussions. Players in the 90s were bigger, faster, stronger.
I love Roger too, but I stand by my comment.
Not sure what the 70s Eagles has to do with the 90s Eagles.
If we include the 80s, imagine the 85 Bears.

Can you elaborate on that. Yeah try playing against the Steelers in the 60s and 70s.

Players were much bigger and faster during Aikman's years than during Staubach's years. Staubach would haven't lasted very long. Most teams of this era would have destroyed the 60s and 70s Steelers. The size-speed difference would be too much for even the mighty Steelers to handle.

But the rules were different you can't compare

I've been training over 50 years. I've trained with a 2 x Super Bowl running back. That's all speculation. You can't judge was in someone's heart. There a ways to nullify speed. If I learned anything in life don't ever say never

 

[Whirlwin]

now this post is unbelievable. no way.

I usually get the last laugh. Only time will tell. But if Prescott continues his winning ways yes best Cowboy ever quarterback

Well, if we can't compare, why are we asking who is the best Cowboys quarterback ever?

Very good question I agree. I guess it's just who you like as a person as much as a player. How can you not love Captain America

 

[Whirlwin]

I truly believe it's impossible to compare eras . I'm old school football I trained with some of the best players. Innovation intelligence keep learning to go forward current if I learned anything it's change is inevitable and not always for the best

 

[Whirlwin]

And when you say players are faster. You're not talkin that big of a difference in speed. You talkin just more people overall having that speed. And when you're talkin bigger you're not really talking much bigger or stronger. People make it sound like it's miles between the differences. Players also learn how to avoid those big hits. So to say Captain America could not play in today's game is nothing more than an inability to understand. What's truly happening out there. Then and now.

Well, if you've trained over 50 years, you know physics isn't speculation and doesn't lie. My observation is a simple matter of physics. The bigger stronger man with the same skill level will ALWAYS beat the smaller weaker man.
Roger Staubach weighed about 195 lbs. Michael Vick weighed about 215 lbs.
Vick was waaaayyy faster and more elusive than Staubach. Vick was broken up near the end of his career.
I won't even mention RG III who weighed about 213 lbs. He was broken up after two years.
I love Staubach - one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. But he wouldn't have last very long in today's NFL. Few of the older quarterbacks would have.

Now you're talking nonsense. I know small people that can destroy bigger people.

I totally disagree. You're welcome to your opinion. Like I said you can't judge what's in a person's heart

That's not necessarily true. We're talking QB's going against DL and DE's. There is very little difference in speed if at all to even be relevant. Staubach also went up against players just as big. With how different the rules were to protect the QB, Aikman or Romo wouldn't have had as long of careers as Staubach did.

That's really the biggest point. The rules. Any QB in today's era would have a harder time staying on the field. This illustrates how great Staubach really was.

I agree. In some respects, these comparisons are silly because eras are totally different and the rules are different. I agree with you on this respect. That's why I say what I do. However, if you compensated Staubach and factored in what he could have weighed with all the regiments and supplements players are taking today, with the rules of today, he would kill in this league. No one could touch him.
My evaluation was strictly made without any adjustments.

Fair enough.

Same skill level?

Imagine if Emmitt Smith felt that way. End of your conversation. I just blew it out of the water

 

[Whirlwin]

Yes same strength same skill level just different size small and large. One is not going to win over the other without intangibles your heart. Your knowledge. Intelligence. So many variables I'm trying not to be derogatory so excuse me for that
