The Greatest Quarterback In Cowboys History?

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Staubach or Aikman?

Staubach

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Different eras.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Staubach is probably the correct answer but I'd no doubt choose Aikman every time. The man was just scary good.

 

[THUMPER]

Staubach for me. :starspin

Troy never knew how losing a Super Bowl feels. Roger does. I'd give Troy the edge.

 

[bbgun]

Staubach. Troy has one more ring, but Roger guided them to more championship games, Super Bowls, and was physically on top of his game at age 39, whereas Troy exited the league much sooner.

Roger

 

[Hostile]

Can you imagine Roger's numbers if he didn't have to give Uncle Sam 5 years of his prime?

Here is the most impressive number, 85-29. In 1969 he was 1-0. 84-29 for the rest of the decade of the 1970's.

Let's put that number in perspective here. Currently a QB if he starts every game of a decade will play 160 games. 10 years and 16 games per year.

In the 1970's teams played 14 games for 8 of those seasons, and 16 for the last 2. For the 1970's the maximum number was 144 games. Staubach started 113 of them because he was not the starter in 1970 and was injured in 1972.

If you project Staubach's numbers over a 160 game decade he would have won 119 games and lost 41.

That eclipse would Peyton Manning's record for the decade of 2000-2009. He was 115-45.

Roger was the ultimate winner.

Never thought of it that way Hos.
I wasn't old enough to watch him...but my dad has shown me tapes of Roger the Dodger play and I used to think he was playing backyard football when i was 7.

 

[CATCH17]

Roger is Captain America. You gotta go with him.


I love Troy but Emmitt was our star back then.


If you had a all Cowboy team Staubach has to be your starting QB and Team Captain.

Here's another way of looking at it. Troy was the QB of the 1990's. More wins than any QB in any decade until Peyton Manning's 2000-2009. Troy was 90-53. 143 games to Roger's 113.

Think Roger could have won 7 more games in that 30? I do.

The Greatest QB in Cowboys history? That would be the greatest Cowboy in Cowboys history--Roger the Dodger.

Emmit is the Greatest Cowboy, but I agree Roger was the best with Aikman right behind him.

Agreed.

Roger was great but Emmitt is the best player in Cowboys history.

I don't mean to disrespect Troy but can you imagine if Roger had been in his prime and quarterbacked the 90s teams. That would've been amazing.

Yeah it would have.

Staubach or Aikman?

You are correct!

 

[bluenut]

I'll say Troy but only because he was in my era. Just not old enough to type knowledgeably about Roger.
