Longest Roger Staubach Touchdowns

[@57clc]

Staubach became the starting quarterback for The Dallas Cowboys in 1971. At 29 years of age, after serving his country for 4 years in the Navy. In nine years he went to 4 Superbowls winning 2 NFL Championships. Truly one of the greatest quarterbacks ever.

[@scottdavidson526]

The best QUarterback(statistically) in Dallas Cowboy's' history.

[@anonymousgoogle8462]

It was the Staubach era that made the Dallas Cowboys. If it weren't for Staubach I seriously doubt they would be big named franchise today. Staubach and the Cowboys were a 1970's phenomenon. Iconic as any sports team can be.

Are you going to ignore that amazing defense they also had?

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY #12 Roger Staubach 🏈

[@carljacobs1260]

I still remember the bitterness of Super Bowl V - seeing Jim O'Brien"s Super Kick on the cover of Sports Illustrated. And yet because of that loss Roger Staubach got a chance to become Captain America. A lesson I never forgot. I could watch Rog to Drew all day...

[@boreed5734]

I remember Staubach playing very well, I remember someone in the media say his arm is so strong he can throw a football through a car wash and it won't get wet.

[@johnbell4132]

So far ahead of his time ☺️

Roger Staubach was Tom Brady before Tom Brady. The original "Captain America"!

1:02--The Cowboys' only score that game. Landry said afterwards, "We made all the mistakes and [the Browns] made none."

[@cortchiewelch9492]

i don't know why i remember this game so vividly. i was 13 at the time. this is when the cowboys had a target on their back after NFL Films branded them "america's team." like charlie waters said, every game felt like a playoff game.

[@thegorn68]

Lots of Golden Richards plays. Forget how fast that white boy was.

He was fast but nobody and I mean nobody faster than Olympic Champion and Worlds Fastest Human Bob Hayes!!

I'm a Washington football team fan God I can't stand that name I hope we get a nickname soon, I can't stand the Dallas Cowboys but I always like Roger Starback, Drew Pearson, and Tony Dorsett they were awesome.

[@Gman-qm6bv]

I am so disgusted that stupid political correctness changed the name of the Redskins. The Redskins were our rival as I was always a Cowboys fan but was always thankful to the Redskins for providing such a historical rivalry. Now, PC has ruined all of that. George Allen, Billy Kilmer, Sonny, Chris H., what a history, I respect.

I assume his longest pass was to Dorsett tipped by the Baltimore Colts and ran for a tad by Dorsett. In 78 I believe.

[@cortchiewelch9492]

91 yards.

[@luisjavierzavalacanseco5326]

Simply wonderful...it's a shame he only played for 9 years.....if he had been the QB in 80, 81, 82, 83, the cowboys would have won at least one more Superbowl.

[@jaymo436]

I'm not a cowboys fan but...I loved Staubach when i was young.

[@dbx1233]

A lot of people don't know, but Roger was born without a left hand and a left foot. He is playing with a prosthetic left hand and left foot. Having been born with those deficiencies, his athleticism was a sight to behold. "Go Cowboys".

[@cortchiewelch9492]

missing two plays. dorsett's 91-yard td pass in 1978 against the colts, and drew pearson's 83-yard td against the rams in the playoffs in 1973.

Imagine if Roger's Cowboys has won just one of those two SB's against the Steelers. Who would be the team of the 70's? Regardless, Roger Staubach was the QB of the 70's, undeniably.

[@anthonycampos8057]

Well, the Cowboys were actually the winningest team in the 70s.

[@rogerhornby1149]

Boy is your sound messed up.

[@djquinn11]

He had an arm….

[@StellarFella]

Roger always had a tendency to wait too long before throwing.

[@donaldm4313]

Staubach's the second best quarterback I've ever seen. Only Joe Montana is better, IMO.

[@Briguy75]

Highly respect your opinion :)

[@benjamindillard2391]

Agreed.

[@StellarFella]

Roger hardly ever hit a receiver in stride. The receiver usually had to wait a bit.

[@clintonsmith5163]

Clearly, you didn't watch the video.

[@StellarFella]

@@clintonsmith5163 - Oh yes I did. This is a collection of his longest completions. Even some of these had receivers slowing down. I started watching all of the televised Dallas Cowboys games in 1965.

[@clintonsmith5163]

@@StellarFella Wow. You've been watching football since 1965, at least, and you don't even know that on long passes, QBs throw the ball to a general location, and it is the job of the receiver to adjust slightly. That adjustment can be speeding up, slowing down, veering left, or veering right. If the ball is thrown too far, that adjustment can be difficult, or even impossible (because the receiver might already be running full speed.) If the pass is underthrown slightly, it is much easier for the receiver to make the adjustment. The passes in this video are EXTREMELY accurate (ie., there was very little adjustment needed by the receiver.) Not coincidentally, that is why they were all TDs. There has never been a QB who hit receivers "perfectly in stride" on long passes a high percentage of the time. Any QB that could do that would end their career with 900 TD passes.
