This is why Staubach is revered around here

[morat1959]

Here’s some perspective:

• The Cowboys have 36 all time playoff wins.
• Roger (13), Troy (11) and Danny White (5) were the QB in 29 of those 36 wins. That’s 80% of our playoff wins.
• Tom Landry won 20 playoff games in 20 seasons between their first ever playoff game in 1966 and last playoff game he coached in 1985.
• The Cowboys won 12 playoff games in the 90s.
• So even more perspective: The Cowboys won 32 playoff games in 31 years: 1966-1996.
• The Cowboys have won 4 playoff games in the last 28 years.

So 32 playoff wins in 31 seasons. Then 4 playoff wins the last 28 seasons. Wow. Wonder who is responsible for that stat?

You hit the nail on the head. Now here’s some stats I can buy into.

I wonder why you're still a fan?

Aikman played in a tougher era.

You could practically decapitate a QB in the 70's. The 70's was probably the most brutal era of football.

 

[Captain-Crash]

When Roger was in the game, no matter the score, we knew we had a chance. I've not seen that in years.

I wonder why you feel obligated to question my fandom and correct my opinions?

Tough as in competition.

Aikman played in a tougher era.

Tougher????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I'm signing off.

Troy took some shots no doubt and was tough.
Just was a more physical game in the 70s vs the 90s.

I'm not arguing one way or another but I imagine the size and strength of the 90s athletes was far superior on a whole. I'm not referring to individuals but strength training and making it a year long commitment wasn't something that happened until pay was more commensurate with performance.

You can change my mind on that stance though, because I'm not positive.

It was tougher to win in the 90s ask Bills fans.

Staubach was great but he was also blessed with some great teams. Great OL’s, Doomsday defense, a Hall of Fame back and WR and one of the all-time great coaches. His teams were loaded!

Because all you do is complain about Jerry....we get it, he's not a good GM and you don't like him. How many times do you need to stir the pot. Do you have anything thing positive to post that can help the forum from becoming more and more toxic.

 

[GoCowboysGo]

We’re answering our own questions…how many hall of famers did Staubach have (and are still fighting to get in?), and what about Aikman? Now how many did Romo have? Prescott?

Not really, as it is relative to era. This argument crops up on NBA forums all the time too, although in the 70's, the NBA it is probably the weakest due to expansion. I would say that in the 80's you start seeing the average player being a bit better, especially filling out rosters. Average player size on the lines certainly started to creep up. But that also goes across the league, relative to speak.

Stars will be stars in any era. QB's like Roger, Johnny U., Bart Starr would fit in well at QB today, as would Troy.

Because he disagrees with you and you must believe as he does. That’s why I have him on ignore.

Possibly. But you lost the top 20 players of all time most of them will be 90s guys. I believe Troy faced tougher competition. Seems like Troy gets slandered around here as if he didn’t have to face great teams. He did.

Well, I’m sorry my opinions make you apparently feel obsessed to follow me around and repeatedly tell me in thread after thread why I’m not a fan. It seems like a lot of complaining.

Your opinions are fine with me as long as they are within the rules. If you disagree with my opinion, no problem. Just don’t tell any fan they aren’t a fan. And it might be a good idea to stop policing people’s opinions. That’s not my job or anyone else’s on this opinion forum. As long as those opinions follow the rules have at it.

Just don’t understand why you spend so much time complaining about my opinions…which you say is complaining.

It was tougher to win in the 90s ask Bills fans.

You could ask the same in the 70s of the Vikings fans.

And they lost to 4 different teams (not 3).

 

[Rayman70]

No disrespect to Aikman because he will always be the man, but Captain Comeback is the ONLY QB in our team’s history where no matter the opponent, no matter regular season or playoffs, you always knew you had a shot if he was your QB.

You got any more like him, Naval Academy?

he was Mahomes before Mahomes. What makes the win stat even more impressive is the fact he had fewer games to do it in each year. In an era where it just wasn't done. He and Landry were ahead of the times offensively. Kinda like Reid and Mahomes. Roger could throw it from multiple platforms. It was uncanny. As far as Lamar being on the list. Lets wait on the anointing oil until he does something more.

Possibly. 5 is more than 4 but sure there’s a argument Vikings had it rough as the Bills.
