This is why Staubach is revered around here

[Ranching]

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's just my opinion, I'm allowed to have them too...as long as they are within the rules.

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.

That my friend is a very valid point.
My comment was more along the lines of what would draw a personal foul and what would get you tossed or suspended.
It was a lot more violent in the 70s in those terms.

as revered as he was, I could totally imagine the game thread during Roger's last playoff game when the Rams took the lead late and we didn't move the ball "fire the coach, Landry is a bum, game has passed him by, Roger washed, he lost to Vince Ferragamo, who cares about the SB in 1977, he sucks now, his mind is mush" etc

yes, that is correct. I saw Roger getting up from a hit one time with his helmet turned completely sideways. The defense played could do anything to the receivers. It was a tougher time, no doubt about it.

It was a great time to be a fan.

We have gone from Rodger and Troy to Tad Prescott.
Going down anyone????

To be fair , Dak is a good person. He just doesn’t have that “It” factor. But , it is not his fault Jerry has given him the keys to the team for so long. That’s on Jerry.

Aikman played in a tougher era.

You're joking-right

Agreed, the sport has gotten softer the more time goes on. Even the NBA is less physical.

Hmm, ever seen guys like Jack Lambert and Mean Joe Green?

 

[nobody]

How about the Dak bots that do nothing but make excuses for him?

They're a problem too.

 

[KJJ]

Staubach is revered because he was Captain Comeback and led the Cowboys to their first championship. He was the QB that finally put an end to the reputation the Cowboys had for always being bridesmaids. He’s the reason they became America’s Team.

I seen Prime Time, Rod Woodson and Reggie White though.

What i am saying is a great qb elevates the team.
Likewise a great team makes the QB look better.

Good QB’s are remembered as great when they are on the right team.

 

[Risen Star]

The problem with Staubach was all the baggage he brought off the field.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Great teams make great QBs....it's not that hard to understand.

Shhh, Coach, you're destroying their knowledge of the game. lol

 

[Runwildboys]

I seen Prime Time, Rod Woodson and Reggie White though.

Great players, but not vicious. Lambert and others back then would bite people in pileups. He liked hurting guys.

But it sounds like that's not what you meant by "tougher era".

 

[mrmojo]

I get it, but the whole point of this thread is to belittle Dak....I'm just tired of it.

Who mentioned Dak? I took this thread as an appreciation for a great QB #12.

Lol! You think this thread would have been started if we were stilling the playoffs? C'mon....

(Lmao. Dude, your humor is the one thing I look forward to on this board.)

The worst thing Staubach ever did was request a
Chevy station wagon in place of a new Corvette when
he won the SB MVP...lol

Yeah I mean I guess it’s my mistake for not clarifying I’ve had a bunch of people think I meant as far as physical play but I was more so talking about tougher completion. Naw….Deion wasn’t quite “tough” lol but he was a great player.
