Pearson selecting Staubach to enshrine him makes all the sense in the world. When Pearson signed with the Cowboys as a UDFA back in 1973, he moved to the Dallas area, and had to take a job at UPS to make ends meet before camp. Pearson was also working out at the Cowboys facility in his off time. Staubach would come to the practice facility, and saw Pearson, and asked him if he wanted to run routes for him. Staubach wanted Pearson to stay later, and Pearson told him that he had to leave to go to his job. Staubach then went to Gil Brandt, and asked him to give Pearson more money - he was a keeper. Brandt did, and once Otto Stowe went down with a broken leg, Pearson's career took off.

Yea, same here. Grew up watching them both. So happy for Drew.I love Staubach and Drew Pearson. They are class acts. My love of the Cowboys grew out of admiration of 70s football. Curly up with my Dad (miss him), Sunday feast, throwing the football in the yard and watching Roger, Pearson and Doomsday on the tube TV.
Go Dallas!!!

From what I gather about Drew Pearson from his draft pick announces, he can really hype up the Cowboys when he wants to. It ought to be pretty interesting to see what he has to say. Rodger is one of my favorite Cowboys all-time but I've never considered him an exciting pitchman.

Chuck Howley is really who should be next, but I'm not holding my breath on either of them.
Why Howley isn't in is a mystery to me.
Martin, on the other hand, was certainly a great player, and one of the best pass rushers in history, but he will always be hindered by his drug abuse, domestic abuse charges, failed rehabs etc...

Yep
Good news is it’s never over . Sometimes they can be inducted posthumously. I think there’s still hope for Howley.

True. Wasn't Bob Hayes inducted posthumously? Dying might actually help because it may cause voters to have sympathy for them for the demons they dealt with

Yes, Bullet was.
Sometines you can get in on the old timers selection by process of elimination. Kinda like Drew finally did.
At some point everyone else from that era that should have got in will get in . And it might leave a Howley or Martin sitting there .
