Even though he hasnt played in decades, he is the reason some of us are still fans. Watched SB6 and 12 on NFLN last night. Good times. (really)

Roger is the reason I am a Cowboys fan as well.
Such a class act on and off the field.
My dream:
For him to own the team.

Appreciate this post and HBD Dodger!
The reason I watch football.

Just learned Craig Morton's birthday is also today. He's a year younger than Roger.

I wasn't nearly as fond of him.

Wow - did not know that.
And Landry had a hard time deciding who should be the starting QB back then.

My personalized Rookie autograph . The first time I met him.

A Cowboy from the era where the Cowboys were run in a sane manner

This was from his Ring of Honor induction which I attended all until new stadium.

When the Pro Football Hall Of Fame sends a birthday tribute --
that lets NFL Fans worldwide know how great a player he was.

But he had the longest career in the NFL of any Cowboys drafted QB. And if not for Roger , he probably would have led us to our first championship.

Morton did lead us to our first SB. Not many SB QB’s were benched in NFL history. But none ever had Staubach on the bench.

Craig would go on to become first NFL qb to ever lead 2 different teams to a SB.

Most people don’t remember that Morton was the QB who led the Cowboys to their first NFC Championship in 1970. And he later won an AFC championship in Denver in 1977 but lost to that great 77 Cowboys team that win SB XII

The best decision Landry ever made was benching Morton for Staubach. Roger took the team to another level.

And perhaps most important of all - Roger Staubach was just as successful -NO - even greater in his life after football.

Yet - always was there when the former Cowboys Greats found time to get together.

Greatest Cowboys player ever and the reason I am a fan. Thanks for the memories Roger and for being such a great role model for us young kids back in the day.
