If cloning was legal . . .

Would you clone Troy or Roger?

Roger was the best clutch QB the Cowboys ever had.

BTW, I would clone 45 Billy Bates and win the Super Bowl every year! But that isn't the point.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

Neither...
I would clone Ken Norton, Russel Maryland and another Erik Williams.

Thats like choosing between Playboy playmates. You can't go wrong here.

Personally I feel Troy had a better team around him. Roger won 2 Super Bowls in an era where Pittsburgh was a legitimate dynasty with 4 Super Bowls.

I'd take Staubach.

 

[Nors]

Also - Roger elevated his teams - I don't think he ever was really part of a losing team? Troy early and late in career could not elevate teams.

 

[LaTunaNostra]

I'd clone a "hybrid".

Less Jacky Smith, Roger.

Just joking. it was unfortunate that Jacky dropped that pass in the endzone. Roger threw some ugly balls at times, but I think Roger was tougher than Troy could ever be, I would go with Roger no doubt.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Roger Staubach was the superior QB, no doubt.

No one threw ugly than Fran Tarkington. But you couldn't beat him. Roger threw ugly because he was running a lot, making plays.

I would counter Randy White, "Too Tall" Jones and Mark Stephnowski, but that wasn't the question. Ahh, to think back on the Cowboys of the old!

 

[Big Country]

I'd clone Staubach without hesitation, then I'd do the same with Bob Lilly, Rayfield Wright, Ken Norton Jr., and Mel Renfro (no offense to Deion)

Roger, Troy needs a team around him to be succesful, and we all heard about those head problems

Great, great point.

Troy was great as long as everyone else did their job.

Roger could make something out of nothing. There could be a complete breakdown on a play and Roger would turn it into something great.

I would prefer to use gene-splicing and get Troy's arm strength and accuracy with Rogers mobility and mentality.

Roger without question. He was the best QB in history. Great everything and a true warrior. very competitive. hated to lose and it was evident.

id clone Angelina Jolie about 3 times, she sure is easy on the eyes.....

Here is a winner!

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

I'll go against the tide in here and say I'd clone Troy.

Troy was the '90s answer to Tom Brady. Not flashy like Roger, and didn't throw up the big numbers some other guys do, but a consumate winner. Made all the guys around him better. In my view, he's one of the most under-rated players in NFL history, even by Cowboys fans.

 

[Novacek84]

I'll play devils advocate and say Troy. He's bigger and stronger than Roger and I think better built for the modern game. He never really had to carry this team on his back for long periods because of #22, but when he had to he could crank it up. (See the season opener vs WAS a few years back when he beat the Commanders in OT with the bomb to Rocket or the Thanksgiving Day game vs MIN when Moss went crazy on us. Troy had some big numbers on both occasions.

LTN - Nasty mood today. Wanna kick my dog?
You'll feel better.

Yes, I was ahead of the curve on all things Hybrid.
Thanks

Nors, I wasn't being nasty at all.

Try as you might, you don't have a complete monopoly on the word "hybrid" yet.

Aikman's accuracy and game management cloned with Staubach's mobility, leadership and other intangibles is what I was getting at.

But Nors, now I AM being nasty:

It's not always about you.

 

[Nors]

No - you've been nasty today -

There's always tomorrow
