What stood out by Staubach is that the Dallas Cowboys always were in the playoffs almost every year he played! Roger Staubach was my childhood hero as he believed in God, family and Country plus the Dallas Cowboys!
Staubach is way before my time but ain’t nothing better than learning and knowing the history of the original greats in the NFL. And he was a Vietnam Vet salute !
I got in so much trouble staying up on a school night watching Dallas on a 14 inch black and white tv just so I could watch Staubach and Tony Dorsett play football. I would mute the tv but my mother could see the light from the television under the door. I finally learned to roll up a blanket and lay under the door. That was a long time ago, and I still love Roger, Dorsett and Landry for the memories. And neither of the aforementioned men would have ever considered taking a knee while our national anthem was being played. The NFL is dead to me.
@@WhoGitDaBiscuit i watch these highlights to feed my nfl addiction, but otherwise i haven't watched a game in 2 years (since the niners/chiefs super bowl) . i hate roger goodell and sapernick and the way the nfl bowed down to the woke crowd. very hurtful for this life-long fan
I was born in 70 as a kid I watched him, when the Cowboys were down in a Monday night game my dad would tease me u went to bed mad because I would turn off the volume and woke up happy. Staubauch was captain comeback
wow I forgot about how elusive he was, I remember his great arm strength and accuracy he definitely goes down as one of my all time NFL favorite quarterbacks!!
I'm going to believe this forever. The greats of the past would be the greats of today. The greats of today, could never have been the greatest of the past. Quarterbacks had to be extremely tough back then. The quarterbacks of today are so protected, that none of them could have handled the roughness of back then. This guy would have been the past, the present, the future. I don't want to name names. But a certain new England quarterback is great in the present only. I absolutely will never believe they could hold a candle to the greats of all time. But I feel this way about all sports. I always feel the greats of the past could be great today, but the greats of today couldn't be great in the past. This is probably bc of all the stricter rules of the game. It's not their fault they weren't born in the past, but I will never feel differently
I’m an eagles fan but hard to not to mention Roger or at least consider him on the Mount Rushmore . Served our country and started in the NFL at 27. Truly amazing he was . Hate the cowboys , roger is one of the greatest
@@funnycigarette If JJ didn’t have such an ego. Jimmy would have at least 3 in a row. They probably would have 5 maybe 6 in the 90’s. Jimmy was best in the draft he picked up Larry Allen, Erik Williams late in the draft and his last number pick was Darren Woodson. What ever round he got Harper in. Laundry was the coach I don’t know what he contributed to the draft I think gil Brant who drafted Staubach, Dorsett Tony Hill, pearson Golden Richards, Bob Lily too tall Randy white this was a much longer period of time and 2 destinies. The game passed Coach Laundry by. Every player had cubicles in the locker room first thing Jimmy did was tear cubicles out plus the players that coached were just different. Never seen him play but Bob Lily was a monster. Sorry for listening to things you probably knew I have no problem Laundry being the greatest coach but I’m taking about players
@@robaustin4193 the game passed John Madden, Chuck Noll and will one day pass Bill Belichick too. It's the evolution of sports. Landry coached 2 Superbowl teams, NFL coach of the year twice, 1966 & 1975, 270 career victories with a winning percentage of .601, he created/designed the 4-3 defense, as a player for the New York Giants he compiled 31 career interceptions, he created the standard that the Cowboys are recognize for today, and prior to all this s*** that really means nothing in the large scheme of life, he was a second Lieutenant in the United States Army and fought in a little thing called World War 2. In my opinion and many other people, he's the greatest Cowboy ever. Maybe these honorable acts mean nothing to you but I'm overwhelmingly impressed.
@@funnycigarette staubach was in a little war called Vietnam . You don’t have to tell me about Laundry he was a great coach and a great man. If Laundry stayed as coach you wouldn’t have the 3 Super Bowl victories. What was Jimmy’s winning percentage? I love the Cowboys Laundry, Staubach, Emmitt Irvin etc. For me the greatest Cowboy player. Was Staubach. . I thought this was about QB’s not coaches No reason to cry over my opinion.
When I first started following football, this was my team. The only downside is it gave me unrealistic expectations about how often my teams should win.
Roger is and always will be my favorite athlete of all time. He was a tremendous competitor whose team would've beaten Bradshaw's Steelers in SuperBowl XIII hadn't been for the bad call on. Benny Barnes against Swannand and the dropped pass in the end zone as week as the fumble by Randy White on the kick off.
As the biggest Cowboys fan I have nightmares about that SB13 game and that dropped TD pass. Vern, the Cowboys announcer at the time says oh Jackie Smith has got to be the sickest man in America actually it was me who is the sickest
Scott, I also wish they wouldn't have done the reverse on the first drive there in that game they were driving down the field so well. Tony and Drew mishandled it and we lost the ball. I'm very confident we've got a score out of that. Roger told Landry it's no time for tricks we shouldn't have done that
@@rog9601 Yes. The Cowboys first blunder of the game. The were moving the ball and Pearson dropped the ball on the reverse. I remember we that as well.
The same referee who made that call was also part of the Immaculate Reception game, makes you wonder a little bit if it's more than a coincidence with the Steelers. He was actually fired from the NFL two years later probably by Tex Schramm with his dealings with the NFL.
I was a kid watching the Cowboys with my brother been a cowboy fan ever since Roger the dodger staubach has been my favorite quarterback ever since in my opinion best Dallas cowboy quarterback ever
I am a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, started watching the Cowboys in '64, and except for Eddie Lebaron and Dicky Maegle and 4 or 5 early journeyman players, I have seen every play and player that Coach Landry signed and coached right through '88, his final season in Dallas, and saw every Cowboy game after that until 2017. Roger Staubach, to these eyes, is not only the greatest QB to ever wear a Cowboys uniform........but IMO, the greatest all-around quarterback in NFL history. Happy 80th Birthday Roger Staubach#12🏈
Staubach became the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys in 1971 after serving his country for 4 years, he was 29 years old. In 9 years as a starter he went to 4 Superbowls winning 2 World Championships. Just think if he'd have went straight to Dallas after he graduated from the Naval Academy. He began playing professional football at an age when many quarterbacks are beginning to wind down. Truly one of the greatest to ever play.
Use to pretend I was Staubach many a day playing football as a child in my backyard. Roger always seemed to pull out a win for that the Cowboys in those days. One of the best to play the game.
Roger Thomas Staubach, nicknamed "Roger the Dodger", "Captain America" and "Captain Comeback, he's the reason why the Dallas Cowboys are American's team, and why i became a Dallas Cowboy fan 🏈🏈🏈🏈
That throw and catch at 3:40 is unbelievable. Staubach was way ahead of his time. I don't like how every quarterback is in the shotgun 90 percent of the time now but Staubach did it right.
No quarterback was more intimidating than Roger staubach. When he ran up the middle, he wouldn't try and avoid you. He'd try to knock you down, and he wasn't afraid to take a hit or 2. His arm strength and accuracy were perfect, especially for the era he played. He's one of the best qbs to play this sport, and I'd put him in the top 20 all time
Staubach was one of the greatest qb’s of all time with Montano. Brady is also one of the the greats you can’t play qb’s in different eras. Let’s see Brady play the steel curtain twice in a Super Bowl .Maybe Brady wins but he would of had vicious sacks. Also Staubach didn’t play until his time was up in the navy making him around 27 as a rookie
Jersey numbers on the sleeves 1973 and before, goal posts were also on the goal line.1974 and after jersey numbers on the shoulder pads and goal posts at the back of the end zone.
I have heard conversations about who is the greatest quarterback ever. Tom Brady will most often be a leading contender. My contention is that it is not a fair discussion. Brady played in an era that really looked after the quarterback. So his career is much longer than ever possible. Roger Staubach was truly one of the greatest to ever play the game. In an era when you could still smash the qb. I was a Raiders fan at the time. But he was just so good.
GOAT in my opinion because he was complete on and off the field. He was only second to Brady in terms of his on the field skill, but off the field he beats any ex player, he was there for his teammates and helped others, he maintained a healthy family, was a great dad, and ended up building a real estate empire and became a multimillionaire upon its sale. Legend
Growing up where I lived you were either a cowboy or a steeler fan. I was a cowboy fan all the way. I'll never forget that dropped pass in the end zone during the super bowl against the steelers. The cowboys could have won that game. They made it right when Aikman and crew beat them later on.
The first modern "duel threat" QB. He didn't become a starter until he was almost 29 years old. We can only wonder what could have been if he had gone to a normal college.
This is the standard for quarterback play for the Dallas cowboys. No disrespect to Troy Aikman, but Staubach is the greatest QB in the history of the Cowboys.
Roger Staubach was a natural leader, his greatest ability was to inspire everyone around him to give maximum effort.
Probably learned that at Annapolis
Roger is the reason Ive been a Cowboy fan since 1975
That’s wassup how you feel about our Dallas Cowboys now
Roger Staubach , in my opinion , is definitely among the top five best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL
What stood out by Staubach is that the Dallas Cowboys always were in the playoffs almost every year he played! Roger Staubach was my childhood hero as he believed in God, family and Country plus the Dallas Cowboys!
Roger Staubach has been and continues to be the best quarterback in the history of the Dallas Cowboys to this day. Period.
I don't know if many people would argue with you. I sure as hell wouldn't.

I was a child watching football with my dad, those were the days.

Are you related to Tom Bailey?
I want Roger Staubach for President.
Great man.
He's too good of a man to be a politician.
One of the best Quarterbacks ever, I might be bias since I am a huge fan of this guy.
Yeah Staubach is one of the best to ever do it.

@@lesterine77 Yep, you were allowed to spear a qb with your helmet.
Roger Staubach wasn’t just ahead of his time. He was on time.
He has always been my favorite quarterback. I love the way he used to throw that deep ball. He really had an arm on him.
94-37 career record. 2 Super Bowl wins and 4 appearances in a 10 yr career. Roger Dodger.
Love Roger, my all time favorite and the GOAT!
he always will be in my eyes :)
Not the GOAT
My all time favorite QB Roger Staubach
Roger Dodger was one of the GOAT’s of yester yr. As a kid, teenager I rarely missed a Cowboys Game.
Staubach was the reason I started watching football.
I’m an eagles fan but hard to not to mention Roger or at least consider him on the Mount Rushmore . Served our country and started in the NFL at 27. Truly amazing he was . Hate the cowboys , roger is one of the greatest
Sunday’s at my parents house watching this man on tv play are my best memories....
One of the best ever!!!!!
The Best Cowboy of all time
If I had to choose the Cowboys best player it would be Staubach
@@robaustin4193 Coach Landry will always be the greatest Cowboy ever. Staubach absolutely the 2nd greatest.

una gran inspiración, lo mejor de lo mejor en la historia de la NFL Roger un grande
If Roger Staubach had run for president, I GUARANTEE he wouldve won. Even guys who played against him said they wouldve voted for him.
Love Roger Staubach no wonder Favre idolized him. Favre played A LOT like him.
When I first started following football, this was my team. The only downside is it gave me unrealistic expectations about how often my teams should win.
That's part of being an old school Cowboys fan. However the past 25 or so years have been very humbling. Thanks, Jerry. Great job.

My daddy and I watched football together. He has passed away 14 years ago now. We LOVED the cowboys and of course Roger Staubach. 😢 I miss those days

A true leader. That arm though wow! Never realized the heat he put on a lot of his passes
Great Memories...Roger Staubach ...The GOAT !!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Roger is the one 70s qb that would be just as incredible in the 2020s
It was alot harder and took more talent to play qb in the 70s than today. I mean alot harder and alot more talent.
the goat himself
THIS GUY WAS THE LEGACY 'THE AMERICA'S TEAM" WAS NAMED AFTER HIM ! HE WAS THE INSPIRATION TO ALL WHO PLAYED THE GAME……………..
My favorite football player of all time. I'll take that to my grave.
The "original" capt. Comeback!! I loved watching this guy play as a kid!!
His juke at 0:23 is straight nasty! Got that man shook
Attila Szabo FACTS, one of the first mobile qbs.

Belichek said if he needed one drive to win a game, he’d choose Roger. Nuff said
The best of the best of the best...
Great years to be a kid and a Cowboys fan. DC4L!
with tom seaver, my two childhood heroes. both gentleman, were great roll models.
Cowboys are my favorite team, Roger Staubach is my favorite qb. No QB could come back and win the game like him.
God Bless Roger Staubach! Personal hero age 7 to age 10. And always. Thanksgiving Game 35-34 I remember like yesterday.
True real life hero!!
It's nice to see a qb that doesn't cry every time he is touched
He is the greatest.
Roger era un mago y un verdadero líder, fuente de inspiración de muchos!!!!
He was a great one, what an arm.
The phrase "a man among men" has been said often but it's never been more on point than with Roger Staubach.
The Cowboys with Tom Landry and Roger Staubach. They were “IT.” They were gentleman playing & winning at football.
As an Eagles fan I loved to hate him. Staubach was really something.
Roger Thomas Staubach, nicknamed "Roger the Dodger", "Captain America" and "Captain Comeback, he's the reason why the Dallas Cowboys are American's team, and why i became a Dallas Cowboy fan 🏈🏈🏈🏈
Too bad but not America's team any more. Sak Dak forever!
And this is why the Dallas Cowboys are still America's team. Thank you Tex Schramm, Tom Landry and Roger!
He made football fun to watch
“That was slick man” that breathes the 70s

The first TD I ever saw in the first ever game I saw was Staubach to Pearson across the middle in SB X. It’s permanently etched in my mind.
If Roger Staubach was active today, he’d be in the company of Aaron Rodgers. Today’s game was taylor-made for Mr Staubach.
Staubach and Tarkenton would be amazing in today's game.
Roger was 1-7 vs qbs that won the super bowl in the 1970s.He was 0-1 vs Stabler,1-2 vs Griese & 0-4 vs Terry Bradshaw
Those losses vs Bradshaw had to do with drop td, ref getting in the way, and other lucky stuff for steelers.
Still making excuses after almost 50 years.
2 super bowl wins
Number 8 is my guy buy much respect to roger

Forever Dallas Cowboys Fan
FULL CONTACT ON THE QB IN A SCRIMMAGE!!! Those days are long gone.
The 🐐
Staubach was Elway and Mahomes before Elway and Mahomes.
Jersey numbers on the sleeves 1973 and before, goal posts were also on the goal line.1974 and after jersey numbers on the shoulder pads and goal posts at the back of the end zone.
Thats awesome. Here in 2024?
My hero
Crazy to see them smashing their quarterback in PRACTICE! So bizarre to see by today’s standards. What different times it must’ve been back then.
I saw somewhere that after he retired, Don Meredith told Craig Morton, "That guy behind you takes vacation to go to training camp, so good luck"
Staubach. The real Captain America
I was Rogers Staubachs waiter a few times. Tom Landry too and other cowboys. And yes they carried their class in my exp.
Rodger Dodger!!!! Lol Thats when i fell in love with the Cowboys!!!
My favorite Cowboy of all time

In an era when you could still smash the qb. I was a Raiders fan at the time. But he was just so good.
Roger Staubach was DaTruth and The Big Homie ( Cincinnati, Ohio - If You Will )
I miss football I don't know what you call it today but it's not this!
Git er done.
The reason I became a cowboy fan
GOAT in my opinion because he was complete on and off the field. He was only second to Brady in terms of his on the field skill, but off the field he beats any ex player, he was there for his teammates and helped others, he maintained a healthy family, was a great dad, and ended up building a real estate empire and became a multimillionaire upon its sale. Legend
Being a great person has nothing to with how good he was as a player
Growing up where I lived you were either a cowboy or a steeler fan. I was a cowboy fan all the way. I'll never forget that dropped pass in the end zone during the super bowl against the steelers. The cowboys could have won that game. They made it right when Aikman and crew beat them later on.
The first modern "duel threat" QB. He didn't become a starter until he was almost 29 years old. We can only wonder what could have been if he had gone to a normal college.
Back when quarterbacks were much tougher than today's quarterbacks.
This is the standard for quarterback play for the Dallas cowboys. No disrespect to Troy Aikman, but Staubach is the greatest QB in the history of the Cowboys.
Percy Howard caught his first and only Pass and touchdown in SuperBowl X. He never caught a pass in the NFL again.
Hero.
When I think of the Cowboys besides Emmitt Smith is always Roger Staubach
Roger “ the dodger “ was the original All American Quarterback !
Imagine if roger starbuck played today how good he would be.
He had an answer for every team except the Steelers.
