When this vid says Meredith was the Cowboys first Quarterback, its misleading. First QB signed, yes. But the Cowboys first primary starting QB was Eddie LeBaron. And Eddie LeBaron was no slouch. LeBaron is one of the great overachieving QB's in NFL history. The diminutive LeBaron was only 5'7" tall, drafted out of small college in the 10th round in 1950 by the Redskins. But before coming into the league he had to fight first in the Korean War, wounded twice and earning a Purple Heart & a Bronze Star! Coming into the NFL in '52, against the odds LeBaron became a 3-time Pro Bowler in Washington & one more with the Cowboys. LeBaron was the primary starter for Dallas for 1960 & 1961 before eventually giving way to Meredith later on.

I came here to give the same comment. While people think of the great Don Meredith they forget Eddie LeBarron who was the Doug Flutie of his time, but better. Though I watched Eddie play I was very young and barely remember him on TV. I mostly think of Don Meredith. But without a QB like LeBarron the possible success and survival of the Cowboys might have failed or been delayed. Imagine being that small a QB with a brand new team of castoffs from other teams. Eddie did pretty well to get a Pro Bowl right? Let's also not forget running back Don Perkins. Darn good runner.

I will always remember being a kid in Dallas during those days. One day “Dandy Don” was a hero and the next a goat. I remember the pain, to this day, of those losses to Green Bay. #17 always took the good with the bad and always lifted his team, fans and the city, with his character and grit. I remember a radio station having a quiz one time. The question was; “who are the three quarterbacks of the Dallas Cowboys? I new the first one and looked to my dad for the other two. Dad said “Meredith, Morton and Rhome”. That’s when I started loving the home town boys!! Great memories!

MNF is a major reason why the NFL became so enormously popular in the 1970s.

John Spillyards you are a lucky man to have interacted with dandy Don. This points out the fact that he had fun doing it! All the film I’ve seen he looks like he had fun even when 4 defensive linemen were laying on top of him. Football used to be great - men of that era had a love for the game that you don’t see anymore

My family was full of Vikings and Packers fans growing up. Dandy Don was the reason I became a Cowboys fan. Football season, MNF, Don, Howard & Frank was the highlight of my week. Who does not remember the weekly rundown?

A highly underrated quarterback. Playing with all those broken noses and a rib poking through your lung - one tough ballplayer.
