Year after year, the Cowboys and Tom Landry were labeled by the media and by fans. They earned it. This was the team that couldn't "win the big one". Many times, they were considered by everyone as the better team, with their more dominating regular season but then.....
The two losses to the Packers, both within the last few seconds of the game.
Next followed two of the most dominant seasons in their history....followed by two humiliating losses to the Cleveland Browns.
Then, the following season, the Cowboys finally make it to the Super Bowl.....and lose in the last few seconds by a field goal from a rookie kicker
Now, it's 1971 and Tom Landry can't decide on a QB, despite the fact that Staubach was clearly the winner. The Cowboys were 4-3 by the time Landry decided on Staubach. They didn't lose another game that year including their first Super Bowl championship.The SB MVP was Roger Staubach.
Roger Staubach only started for 9 seasons. He was the NFL's top passer in four of them, including his last season. He took the Cowboys to a total of four SB's, winning two of them. He led them to six NFC championship games, winning four of them.
Roger Staubach retired in 1979 as the leading passer in NFL history. He won 72% of all games he started.
Love Emmitt, there is no shame to him being #2, none at all when the #1 player is Roger Staubach.
