On team:
“We can be 11-5 in a second with a little luck and keeping people healthy, maybe 12-4,” Staubach said Thursday night at AT&T Stadium. “And I think we’d take 10-6 right now, wouldn’t we? You just want to get in the playoffs.”
On Dez:
On multiple occasions, Staubach mentioned Bryant’s second half last season, an eight-game stretch where he had 879 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. That production caused Staubach to say Bryant is “as good as any receiver in the National Football League.”
“Well if he stays healthy, there won’t be a better receiver in the league than Dez Bryant,” Staubach said. “I don’t think there’s anybody better at what he can do in the league and there are some great receivers in the league, but what he did in the second half of the year last year is as good as it gets.
“He makes great plays, he’s got speed, he’s strong, he has great hands. Drew Pearson was like a basketball player, and I wasn’t afraid to throw it into a tight situation because I think he could figure out how to catch it. Some guys can’t do that. I think Dez has the hands. He can do it. You can throw the ball in there and he’s going to figure out how to get it, out of the hands of a linebacker or a defensive back.
“When you have that kind of confidence in a receiver, and he’s got the ability to do that. The way he played last year was fantastic and he seems like he’s a good kid. He’s getting his life together. I don’t know him. I just go on what I read. I was throwing to him tonight, though, so I tested him out. He’s a great receiver.”
On Romo:
“If there’s a bigger Romo fan in town, I don’t know who it is,” Staubach said. “I want to argue with all my negative Romo fans and tell them how great this guy is. He makes plays. He’s got a strong arm, and he just does a lot of good things out there that only a few quarterbacks in the league can do.”
"I was pretty old when we won a Super Bowl. He's at the prime of his career right now."
On Frederick:
“Being a quarterback, you know how important a center is,” Staubach said Thursday night at the Cowboys’ “Silver and Blue Debut,” the public practice at AT&T Stadium. “For a lot of different reasons -- being strong up front, getting you the ball, knowing that you have to make a block, so you don’t have to worry about the snap. Just having a leader there in the middle, it’s a big deal.”
Staubach said Romo described Frederick to him in high terms.
“He says Frederick is as good as we expected,” Staubach said. “He said really nice things about the guy. I don’t know him. But having a center is more important than people give the Cowboys credit for when they picked.”
