Poll: Rank Staubach's, Aikman's & Romo's Pro Bowler Teammates Collective Talent

[GimmeTheBall!]

Cant believe people actually voted romo 1st lol.

I thought the CZ had instituted a IQ admission rule?

 

[DallasEast]

Ah, yes, you yanks living in the past. Your past includes Romo 3 pix Sundays and pix-6 games. December fadeaways when we chose ---- CHOSE!! --- to go to the Antique Mart 1/3 off sale in stead of being devastated ATV a Romo Fest lose.
Staubach and Dandy and Don Aikman competed and brought in Super Bowl rings.
Next!!!!!!!
This is Dak's turn to shine!!!!!

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Did this remotely seem funny?
How is a life that puts this up for wit?
There are 100,000 better memes and you chose this?
Sad.
Really. Sad.

I was very very young during the Staubach era. Fortunately my father actually worked for the team during that time as a contractor from Control Data so even as a child I got to see how special they were. But, too young to objectively measure them.

I saw the Aikman years and know that was one of the best teams ever assembled on a football field. I know the 70's teams were good too, but really, I saw and know how good the 90's Cowboys were.

The talent on those 90's teams aren't even properly measured by pro-bowls and current analysis. They were rare, special and if you put any of them in the NFL today I doubt anyone could take them. So of course I put Aikman first and Staubach second.

Not even worth discussing the teams Romo had compared to those two.

lol.

The last time you critiqued your own unique brand of humor was over 25,000 posts ago, which was around the time a number of fellow members through the years began asking you, "Did this remotely seem funny to you?"

Staubach the Alpha and Omega

This thread is a joke watching all of the Romoholics, who for over 10 years heatedly argued that Romo by far was the best QB in Cowboys history, suddenly say that Roger and Aikman were better QBs simply because they won SBs (which is an overall team, including coaches, accomplishment).

Huzzah old bean. Your skulduggery is quite thorough, and you've sussed that cur out for his skylarkings! Bully I say!

Romo never had all of the tools to work with.

That is why this this thread is:

How would you rank each QB's teammates combined talent from best-to-good per 'best' Pro Bowl year?

Just having fun with ya here AC. I enjoyed the debate in the other thread my friend.

Sounds like a long list of excuses to me. Eras were different so there is some difficulty comparing players to players. Romo had the most talent around him and did nothing with it. In hindsight, he did have Garrett-top around him in some form as OC or HC through most of his career. We all k wow how mediocre JG has been. I’ll give him that much at least....

Romo had a lot of talent around him on offense. He had some of the worst defenses I've ever seen. Only in 2007 and 2009 did he have a decent to good defense. Tom Brady did no better against the team that beat Dallas in 2007, and the Cowboys OL didn't show up in 2009. Every other year the Cowboys D was trash. Dan Marino and Dan Fouts put on some pretty good shows too with an allstar offense around them.

 

[Hot_Toddy]

Bring back the Flex defense.

Boy that would be fun to bring back. If only a team in todays NFL could all stay together long enough to make that happen.

 

[Hot_Toddy]

I don't even see how anyone could ever think otherwise....unless maybe they aren't familiar with the teams of the 90s or 70s

I think we have a SB caliber D this year.
I also realize this is a bold statement to make right now.
I'll just have to wait until mid to end year to find out if my theory is correct.

Lol. All good bro.

I feel it's an unfair comparison since there was no salary cap holding back those 70s and early 90s Cowboys teams from being able to pay for the best talent (starters and backups) in the NFL. Once that salary cap came into effect, it destroyed that opportunity.

Still, if we are to compare Pro Bowlers ONLY from the Staubach '78 year (9 players), Aikman '93 year (11 players) and Romo '07 year (franchise record 13 players), I would slightly side with the Romo '07 Pro Bowl roster due to numbers and even talent when compared head-to-head-to-head overall.

 

[Hot_Toddy]

Yeah, I think everyone knows what I think of the salary cap/free agency.

We had players in 07 no doubt. But that 90's team was stacked.

I can only hope there is a similar poll after this year which also includes dak with this current team.

Sheesh, Zeke was still messing his diapers the last time this team won a Super Bowl.

 

[acenoodle]

The future #1?

Dak - Vander Esch, DeMarcus Lawerence, Bryon Jones, Tyron Smith, Zack Martin, Ezekiel Elliot, Jason Witten, Travis Fredrick, L.P. Ladouceur, Amari Cooper, Dak Prescott, Randall Cobb, Robert Quinn, Dez Bryant, Dan Bailey, Sean Lee, Alfred Morris, Orlando Scrandrick

This team has been blessed with great QB's. Aikman could hit a dime off of your hand with a football. Romo was simply amazing. Staubach was gifted all the way around. Dak is coming into his own. And Danny White. He may have had some SB if "The catch" didn't happen and he didn't break his hand or wrist. He was never the same after that.

So true.

Ware > Haley


But yea I agree

i wouldnt say that. Haley was the single piece to the puzzle that arrived in that 92 season that tilted power in the NFC. Haley was a pass rushing beast.

So Haley joined a better team than Ware ever played on in Dallas?

This is like saying that the DeMarcus Ware that ended his days in Denver was better than the DeMarcus Ware that started his days in Dallas. It's just not even close to being true.

I’m looking at talent relative to the era of football each QB played in. Staubach & Aikman’s squads would wipe the floor with any New England Super Bowl team the last decade. Romo’s teams were full of talent during his “peak” and that ‘07 team was the best on paper that year. That’s why I say collectively, for the era vs other NFL teams Romo had more than the aforementioned QBs and failed miserably.
