Video: PFT: Is Troy Aikman or Roger Staubach the best Cowboys QB ever?

[Irvin88_4life]

Romo couldn't even get to a conference championship game so it's beyond me that he is even in the discussion. Heck at least White made it several times.

 

[cristglo]

Best

Staubach
Meredith
Aikman
Morton
White
Romo

Worst

Hogeboom
Pueller
Henson
Stoerner
Hutchison

There’s a few more we could add to worst list

I agree Quincy carter! LOL

 

[cristglo]

Best
Staubach
Aikman
Romo
Merdith
White

Worst
Hogeboom- a legend in his mind
Quincy- he should have been made to wear a sign
The Hutchinson and Leaf signing should have had Jerry committed!

 

[Rogerthat12]

ROGER....

 

[Diehardblues]

I agree Quincy carter! LOL

I wouldn’t list Quincy as one of the worst. There were others worst than him. We did go to the playoffs in his only full season.

I'll take Roger but its not by a wide margin. Troy had the better arm but Staubach had everything else. The debate is really over the #3 cowboy QB.

 

[noshame]

Rog
Troy
Don
Danny

nobody else is worth mentioning.

 

[Whirlwin]

Can you please quit spelling Roger with a "d" in it, Captain America's name is Roger Staubach!!

Thank you for giving me a like to my response. Shows you have integrity and A Touch of Class. Good be safe my cowboy Brothers

"Granny bring me some more hand lotion, they're talking about my Dak again"...

 

[JoeKing]

Roger is not just the better Cowboy, he is the better gentleman, scholar and a Naval officer. Thank you for your service, Roger.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Rog
Troy
Don
Danny

I'd put Romo in there b/c he holds most of the franchise QB records, he ranks #5 all-time in QBR, and he had the handicap of Garret his entire career.

 

[mrmojo]

Romo shouldnt even be mentioned in this thread.

Staubach 1st, then Troy.... the Aikman hate on this forum is unbelievable...he was a great QB.

 

[blueblood70]

cant rank them its all personal opinion that swayed by championships and different eras with different rules and no cap.. we have been blessed to have a slew of great QBs

Roger, Meredith , White, Aikman, Romo , and well the story is not done with Dak yet so cant say..

My favorite and if you look at shear numbers at the postion along with the underdog role, for me Its Romo but no way I can fully say hes was better then the others, just my Favorite. He had the least to work with as coaches, and players around him and the cap to deal with so I just felt this UDFA was just great given all those factors..he didnt have 12 HOF players around him and a HOF coach etc with less rules all around like the past QBS..

Ford, fix or repair daily. GMC and Chevy I consider them the same.

chevy = shove it or leave it

 

[bodi]

Aikman - Staubach - Dandy Don - danny white

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Staubach, by a landslide

no disrespect to Aikman. he was great. but Staubach was generational

 

[Blackrain]

Troy was a great QB . Roger was an NFL God capable of doing the impossible weekly with less talent around him and one of the best things to ever happen to the sports world

Interesting how Craig Morton is to some a forgotten Cowboy.

He led the Cowboys to their 1st Super Bowl and was a tipped pass interception from winning it.

He was a terrific talent coming out of California as a 1st round pick in 1965. The same season we took Roger in 10th round knowing he was going to the Navy for 4 years.

Craig had a Cannon arm. He led the Cowboys to 3 straight division titles after Meredith retired culminating in our 1st SB appearance.

Morton went on to become the 1st QB to start for two different SB teams( Denver) and had the longest career of any Cowboys drafted QB( 18 years). He threw for over 27,000 yards. 32-14-1 record with Cowboys. We just had a guy named Roger sitting on the bench.

Roger and Troy...1a and 1b. Romo was great, but if he took some of the hits that Roger and Troy took, he wouldn't have lasted 5 years, his body would have been wrecked. Conversely, if Troy or Roger played in Romo's era you would have seen them light up the scoreboard and rewrite record books. If Aikman played today, where you can barely touch a QB, he'd be deadly.

Fans back then were either "Morton guys" or "Staubach guys" but not both. The Morton guys converted to Staubach guys after Morton left. That fate was sealed when Staubach's Cowboys beat Morton's Broncos in SB XII.
