Perfect music for whom I consider the greatest Quaterback in my lifetime. He was class, elegance and tough all in one package. I miss those days.....Great job and thanks.
Great angle of the "Hail Mary Pass" . I loved the Vikings back then, but have to give Staubauch and Pearson all the credit here. There was NO foul. If anyone wants to see where the Vikings mistake was. Freeze it and instant past 1:57. Nate Wright is lost!! Here he takes his eyes off the ball and THAT'S why he was'nt able to make the same adjustment on the underthrown ball Pearson did.
@ 0:14 . Listen to what Staubach says here. Today, you have players who can't waite for the end of the game so they can give their opponent a big hug and an attaboy !! Staubach statements corresponds to the mindset of a true competitor.
The hanshaking and buddy buddy stuff is left for after retirement. THEN, you go fishing together.
One of my alltime favorite football play envolves Staubach. He is at his 20, drops back to pass, flushes right and at about the 50 yd line he holds up his hand and jogs like, "hey man, don't hit me i'm going out of bounds" then he stiffarms the db and runs the rest of the field for a touchdown. Wish i could find it on here.
I love the ref at 3:25. It's like he was so excited that he had to turn and share in the fans' reaction. I almost expected him to run over and high-five someone.
Staubach was the ultimate QB - quick release, strong arm, accurate. Good in the pocket and out of the pocket. And he could run very well. Most of all, he was tough as nails!
In his video of the top 100, said that every father wanted his son to be like staubach, well, i'm not even american and i dream my sons to be just like him!!
I am just blown away watching this! For you youngins, this is from a time when ppl held their own water instead of worrying about the contract, or what one think's they are entitled to. Watching this competitor fly into the end zone "head 1st" just reminds me of an America that we probably will never see again. Unfortunately!
2 dislikes? either we got 2 retards who dont know how to work a keyboard or a couple of scumbags visited here.....probably eagles fans or something...
God...what a difference in the leadership skills of players like Stubach vs players today,,,,if athletes are a reflection of the society we live in, we really are in trouble today...at least the Roman Empire had 800 years
The first football game I remember watching was the 1972 Super Bowl between Dallas and Miami. Now, I never saw Otto Graham, Sammy Baugh, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr or any of the other all-time greats that came before Staubach, but he was definitely the best of his time, which makes him one of the best of all time. Personally, I would take Roger the Dodger over any quarterback from any era.
I'm vey much not a Cowboys fan. That said, a true Officer and aGentleman. And one of the toughest to play the position. There is a great NFL Films interview with Steeler's Jack Lambert who praised Staubach for his toughness, never give up attitude. He also said he was the only QB who never whined when you hit him hard, cheapshot or a ref call didn't go his way..... He just got up off the ground and beat you next play.
Just had a discussion with a buddy who are the top ten qb's of all time, and Roger is imo among the top ten. Very good arm, excellent leader, he got better when the playoffs began. Great great player...
@gamer7459 I just bought a Staubach jersey at a Cowboys Pro Shop in Frisco, TX, and it had a retail price for $129, but I got it for $80. I picked the "farewell to Texas Stadium" patch and just took it to get sewn on this morning. I was sure excited to find out yesterday that a guy I work with has played golf with him, because his dad built RS's house. He said he can arrange for me to meet him and get my jersey signed. That would be awesome! He sure gave the fans a lot of entertainment.
That catch that Preston Pearson made at 3:07, is arguably the most underrated catch in NFL history...it was made in the 1975 NFC Championship Game in the L.A. Coliseum, in which the Cowboys epically owned the Rams, 37-7...
The main reason why the Cowboys are my favorite team. Staubach could always pull a game out of the fire no matter how much time was left, the guy was just magical and he raised his teammates playing level to the highest they could perform!
@DaddySinister Sorry, my bad. To spin off of your previous comment, how many QB's to you see these days, going head first into a defender to gain extra yardage, like Staubach did in the following play. The "heart" of America was pumping strong in the 70's, and there was a lot less bullshit!
@cowboysfan782008 Very good point. RS was tough as nails. He didn't have it easy at the Naval Academy and the Midshipmen had to go through some very grueling PT during their time. That made Stauback and even tougher dude....
He and Elway were the best guys ever when they pulled it down and went to run. They had elusiveness as good as any running back in the league in their respective times.
The best ever. Forget just stats, SB wins.....add in all of it.....the stats, SB wins, his leadership, character, and his attitude. That's what makes him the best ever.
THIS IS WHY I LUV THE DALLAS COWBOYS....... CAPTAIN AMERICA.... WAS A KID WHEN I SAW HIM PLAY...AND HEY... THE 70S WAS THE DALLAS DECADE... IM SURE STEELER FANS DISAGREE.. BUT ROGER WAS STILL BETTER THAN BRADSHAW
@CoolerKing37 your close man but your actually thinking of tom landry the coach for the cowboys when roger was qb hank has a statue of tom landry somewhere in his house and he occasionally has conversations with it.
And another thing...the Cowboys had no business losing Super Bowl V to the Colts...only because they had that Epic Fail Craig Morton at quarterback...had Staubach started Super Bowl V, it would have been the biggest blowout in Super Bowl history...because on paper, the Cowboys blew the Colts out of the water in terms of pure talent...the Colts only made it in 1970, because the AFC was in it's first year, from the old AFL, and nobody in the AFC wanted to play defense, until the Dolphins...
If you know your history, the Cowboys lost the 1966 and 1967 NFL Championship Games 34-27, and 21-1, respectively...In 66, Don Meredith threw a retarded INT in the end zone, and in the 67 "Ice Bowl" game, Meredith was completely out of his element, not even being able to call the signals because of the -15 degree temps...if Staubach would have played those games, he would'a said , "fuck it", and would have handled the Packers like a boss...
The course of NFL hisory would have been very much different, had Staubach played during the 1960's...I mean, he had the talent and the leadership skills that Don Meredith didn't have, which would have been vital in getting the Cowboys over the hump against the Packers...Roger Staubach could have been the first QB to win a Super Bowl...and Titletown's legacy would have been less stellar...
Roger the dodger. A brilliant quarterback & a brilliant business man. He sold his business The Staubach Co. a little over half a billion a few years back.
Happy Birthday, Dodger. You will always be one of the greatest of all time. I hope that guys like Mark Sanchez realize who set the table for them today.
HAPPY 68th Birthday Roger!!! Forget stats and Super Bowls and the rest. There's no one else I'd want on the field to bring my team back from a defecit. A true leader...and...the BEST EVER!
when the word "Legend" was created, it was meant for truly exceptional individuals like Roger Staubach.What an inspiration! thank you for this great video.
he does do dodges like that every game, but sometimes it's hard to get a pass off when your have a slow o-line and there are at least three rushers chasing after him.
The 70s and 90's Cowboys also functioned much more like a unit than our current team. I am glad we got Brooking, and I am glad he's a help with motivation, but it's pretty sad when a new team member comes in and is able to take that role with an already winning team. Last years loss to Baltimore for the last game at Irving Stadium was a pathetic display for long time fans and old players to see. That display bugged me even more than the Eagles mauling. That said, the direction seems positive now
What I am getting at, is although my 1st 5yrs of watching football were spent watching and rooting for Roger and the Cowboys, I wasn't watching him the same way I watched Troy throughout my 20's, when I was old enough to really appreciate what real talent was. Living it, and watching the past on utube are two different things. I do know and remember enough of Roger to tell you that Romo is NOT at that level yet, although he did learn some lessons this yr and did improve and grow up a little!
I dont know why just about everyone thinks Troy was our greatest QB I think Roger was! When I look at Romo I see talent and a softness to him but when I look at Troy and Roger I see greatness. I remember back in the 90's during a game seeing Troy walking up and down the sidelines screaming at the team with a fire in his eyes he was a true leader and field general Roger aka Captain Comeback was to and I dont see that in Romo at all. Please prove me wrong Tony I would love to be wrong!
@FistsOfFury21 Don't hold your breath waiting for Tony to prove you wrong. He is too busy thinking about Jessica Simpson.
I am not a Cowboy fan by any means but I shake my head when I think of Romo playing on the same francise as Staubach, Aikman and Meredith. Those guys had a passion that Romo does not. Even Danny White was better. FistsofFury, I gave you the + for good comment, heck it was a close to perfect comment.
Roger and Troy, for one, are like football "soldiers", esp Roger, who is from a generation where most men had spent time in the service. Tony has huge talent, but is not "all football", and definately does' not posess the leadership skills of the other 2. I don't know how old you are, but I don't think that ppl think that Troy was so much better than Roger, but you would really need to be about 45 or older to have a "real" opinion on that. I watched the Superbowl in 76 &79, but was young. 41 now
Roger Staubach was the greatest quarterback in my book,he played with guts and class.I was fortunate to see him live at texas stadium back in 1977, against the redskins.
@tonytnt1980 Agreed tonynt..imagine if Roger did not spend his first 6 years fulfilling his naval duties. In my opinion, in terms of all around skills, passing...running, strength of arm...accuracy...intelligence and toughness only Staubach had all those qualities. Marino, Montana and Manning and others may have gaudier stats but they do not have the all around skills that Roger had. Would have loved to see 70's Cowboys vs 80's 49ers. Walsh vs Landry..Stauback vs Montana...classic we willnot see
as a vikings fan the hail mary is painful to watch. staubach was great but the shove from pearson at 1:59 sent wright flying. i like pearson's delayed celebration to see if the ref was going to throw the flag.
Great Video, Gave me goosebumps, especially in the end when Newhouse & Golden Richards & a few others were right there to pick him off the turf, congradulate him & make sure he was ok. Staubach, and later Aikman, and their "soldier like" dedication and leadership are the reason I have been a fan for 33 yrs!
I am a Cowboys fan but the Cowboys are not what they used to be. Im not saying I hate them but they were good when Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach, and Danny White were there.
In his last two seasons -- after the rules changed -- Staubach threw 52 TDs and for 6700 yds. Those were great numbers in the late 70s. Thirty years later, those numbers are not as impressive but the game has changed.
I've seen Sonny Jergensen, Darryl Lamonica, Len Dawson and Roman Gabriel play. I've also watched Joe Montana's career and down to guys like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. Fouts, Marino, Stabler, Tarkenton... I can name many greats.
Troy will go down as the greatest- but I think head to head Roger was better! I was a Dallas Cowboys fan all the way to the death of the Cowboys- I hope some day they come back- but until they get a real owner, real coach and real QB- I dont have much hope for the Dallas team- but they are NOT the Cowboys. Clint Murchison is doing flips in his grave right now- and even God wont watch the Cowboys anymore. (cuz the roof is closed and he cant afford the tickets!)
I would take Roger Staubach... Over anyone.... If I needed a quarterback... Right now in the N.F.L.. Over any..of the past... Joe Montana...Steve Young... John Elway....Tom Brady... Troy Aikman... Joe Namath..Johnny Unitas....Terry Bradshaw.... Blah...blah.. This man was the REAL deal..... The greatest quarterback... I have ever seen...perform...
mrclipper23 u r truely ignorant to come leave that comment on cowboy territory i like farve as well but 4 u 2 say something soo naivly wrong u must obviously b a minnesota or even worse 4 u a greenbay fan go comment elsewhere u bum
Favre 10X better than Staubach? Have you seen both of them play throughout their careers? If you have and you still abide by that comment, then you do not know football.
Staubach served four years in the Navy, and he played all but two years in the pre-rules change NFL. Do you think Favre would post his numbers of today in 14 game seasons when DBs would hit receivers all the way downfield?
No doubt Favre is a future 1st ballot HoFer but don't make statements like that.
I have Never Ever seen a big name like Brett Favre CHOKE in the Playoffs Repeatedly like him. Brett is only good in the Regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs he CHOKES by throwing stupid Interceptions and you hear nothing but Excuese from Brett lovers why its not his fault.
Roger is Better cause he was CLUTCH in the playoffs.
Just wait for the Brett Favre Late Season Melt Down, like last year. Its his Trademark. Vikings will see the real Brett.
the Cowboys at their greatest...im watchin the game against the Giants at the stadium opener and this is just sad compared to the cowboys back then.....
Staubach could scramble better than any QB with the possible exception of Steve Young. So great under pressure, unlike media-darling Tom Brady who folds anytime he doesn't have more than 4 seconds in the pocket (i.e. SB XLII).
He had so much skill. One of the best QB's with the most talent. Just think of the numbers he would have put up if he played right after college. Amazing.
Viet Nam vet; naval officer; leader; ferocious competitor; strong family man. Too bad Roger didn't go into politics. He could have won the governorship of Texas in a landslide.
Then he could have run for POTUS and we'd have a great and honorable man, along the lines of Ronald Reagan, in the Oval Office. Instead of ....
Anyone who puts Roger (who made his team) and that idiot Terry (who's team made him) in the same sentence doesnt know football! Bradshaw's best day was dancing barefoot drunk in his barn trying to hit on young girls at his horse auction...sorry pitt fans have better idols from that team to boast about.
So by your estimation, one QB is better than the other by virtue of the fact that the talent level around one is superior than the other ?? If you put Staubach in a Steeler uniform & Bradshaw in a Cowboy uniform during the 1970's, the Steelers still win. Your comment makes no sense. Steelers had more talent than the Cowboys did, both QB's were even in skill & ability.
you don't have many quarterbacks like staubach anymore with the great scrambling ability, great accuracy all blended in with leadership and thats what truly defines a great quarterback

Roger and Troy, for one, are like football "soldiers", esp Roger, who is from a generation where most men had spent time in the service. Tony has huge talent, but is not "all football", and definately does' not posess the leadership skills of the other 2. I don't know how old you are, but I don't think that ppl think that Troy was so much better than Roger, but you would really need to be about 45 or older to have a "real" opinion on that. I watched the Superbowl in 76 &79, but was young. 41 now

Roger Staubach was the greatest quarterback in my book,he played with guts and class.I was fortunate to see him live at texas stadium back in 1977, against the redskins.
tonytnt1980 2 years ago
@tonytnt1980 Agreed tonynt..imagine if Roger did not spend his first 6 years fulfilling his naval duties. In my opinion, in terms of all around skills, passing...running, strength of arm...accuracy...intelligence and toughness only Staubach had all those qualities. Marino, Montana and Manning and others may have gaudier stats but they do not have the all around skills that Roger had. Would have loved to see 70's Cowboys vs 80's 49ers. Walsh vs Landry..Stauback vs Montana...classic we willnot see

Great Video, Gave me goosebumps, especially in the end when Newhouse & Golden Richards & a few others were right there to pick him off the turf, congradulate him & make sure he was ok.

I am a Cowboys fan but the Cowboys are not what they used to be. Im not saying I hate them but they were good when Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach, and Danny White were there.
jackleo6 2 years ago
In his last two seasons -- after the rules changed -- Staubach threw 52 TDs and for 6700 yds. Those were great numbers in the late 70s. Thirty years later, those numbers are not as impressive but the game has changed.
I've seen Sonny Jergensen, Darryl Lamonica, Len Dawson and Roman Gabriel play. I've also watched Joe Montana's career and down to guys like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. Fouts, Marino, Stabler, Tarkenton... I can name many greats.

Troy will go down as the greatest- but I think head to head Roger was better! I was a Dallas Cowboys fan all the way to the death of the Cowboys- I hope some day they come back- but until they get a real owner, real coach and real QB- I dont have much hope for the Dallas team- but they are NOT the Cowboys. Clint Murchison is doing flips in his grave right now- and even God wont watch the Cowboys anymore. (cuz the roof is closed and he cant afford the tickets!)

Oops, sorry. I had to re-read your post.
I think you meant Aikman would be considered (by most) as the Cowboys greatest QB but you still rate Staubach higher. I can agree with that.
Aikman was great in the post season. But Staubach was just better overall, and he was at his best in the clutch.
Thanks.

@MrClipper...
Favre 10X better than Staubach? Have you seen both of them play throughout their careers? If you have and you still abide by that comment, then you do not know football.
Staubach served four years in the Navy, and he played all but two years in the pre-rules change NFL. Do you think Favre would post his numbers of today in 14 game seasons when DBs would hit receivers all the way downfield?
No doubt Favre is a future 1st ballot HoFer but don't make statements like that.
Asahel717 2 years ago
...cont.
When Favre came out of So. Miss, I told friends, "This guy is going to be great."
When Michael Irvin was a freshman wearing no. 47 at Miami, I said, "I hope the Cowboys get this guy someday. He's going to be great."
I can spot talent.
Staubach playing today and playing in his early 20s through his late 30s would have put up 350-400 TDs.
Favre never had to throw against great corners who could bump his receivers all the way downfield, throwing off routes and timing.
Asahel717 2 years ago
Brett Favre is a CHOKE ARTIST.
I have Never Ever seen a big name like Brett Favre CHOKE in the Playoffs Repeatedly like him. Brett is only good in the Regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs he CHOKES by throwing stupid Interceptions and you hear nothing but Excuese from Brett lovers why its not his fault.
Roger is Better cause he was CLUTCH in the playoffs.
Just wait for the Brett Favre Late Season Melt Down, like last year. Its his Trademark. Vikings will see the real Brett.

He just seems to make too many mistakes.

He had some big shoes to fill.

Staubach could scramble better than any QB with the possible exception of Steve Young. So great under pressure, unlike media-darling Tom Brady who folds anytime he doesn't have more than 4 seconds in the pocket (i.e. SB XLII).

oneputtsteven 2 years ago 3
Had the Cowboys beaten the Steelers in those two SBs, Staubach would have gone down as the greatest QB of all time.
And if he played today in a pass happy offense, he would have posted Montana-like numbers in TDs and yardage.
He retired with the top QB rating of all time after the 79 season. And he played 10 of his 12 years before the rule changes were instituted.
He was never voted All Pro. That was a travesty in itself.

So by your estimation, one QB is better than the other by virtue of the fact that the talent level around one is superior than the other ?? If you put Staubach in a Steeler uniform & Bradshaw in a Cowboy uniform during the 1970's, the Steelers still win. Your comment makes no sense. Steelers had more talent than the Cowboys did, both QB's were even in skill & ability.
