#46: Roger Staubach | The Top 100: NFL's Greatest Players |

[@zzremington]

I'm 52, when I was a kid (and I'm a Cowboy fan), Roger was one of the QB's all the kids wanted to be out in the back yard - my all time favorite player, he gave it all he had every play.

[@carlhobbs5357]

TRUE!! I was one of those kids too!!

[@ThomasFromTN]

Not me...I was one of those kids who lambasted the NFL for its custom, then, of converting Black college QBs to wide receiver, as de facto custom. (Did you know that Jefferson Street Joe actually beat out Terry Bradshaw in training camp head-to-head competition to be Steelers' starting QB? Unfortunate for Gilliam, he was sidelined early season because of injuries, Bradshaw was inserted as Steelers' starting QB...and JJJ never got another opportunity to win back the starting job.)

[@woodybostic1128]

Me too...

[@lunaticfringe896]

I'm NOT a Cowboy fan at all, but I agree with you. Love Staubach. One of the GOATs

[@kenarthur6253]

Rooted against him back then, but now I realize how great a player and a Man he is. Great role model. Awesome athlete and American!

[@jscottrockford]

Agreed 👍 I was a Steelers fan as a kid, and I just wish I would’ve appreciated him more when he played……..love him now

[@samuelstephens7050]

My all-time favorite Dallas Cowboy.. I cannot tell you how many thrills I got from watching him play. No game was beyond his reach.. you never felt the Cowboys would lose as long as Roger was in the game. I remember a Sunday noon game against the St Louis Cardinals in 1974 or 1975, My brother and myself were at church service and my brother was listening to the game on a transistor radio while service was in progress. When the score reached 28-3 Cardinals leading as the 4th began, my brother decided to turn the radio off and stop risking Getting a beating because of listening to the ball game... By the time we arrived home after church service had ended we found out that Staubach had lead to Cowboys to a 31-28 comeback victory. Simply amazing. He was truly a great player but a much much better person. Thank you Mr Staubach.

[@pauldonnelly910]

Might be worth noting that Staubach gave away the first 5 years of his career out of college, arguably the most productive years (or at least the foundational ones) of any professional athlete, to serve our country as he had agreed to do as a midshipman educated at Annapolis.

[@coolhand1005]

He was so inspirational to me as a kid. I really believed Roger could win every game the Cowboys were in !!!! Class, charisma, integrity, toughness, guts, humility, dedicated to the team, a leader, acted the same whether he won or lost ...... he had it all. Roger was everything I wanted to be as an athlete growing up. He remains my favorite QB of all time ..... one of my favorite people of all time !

[@bigtip8371]

Yeah we got spoiled , knowing what we know today and looking back!

[@lunaticfringe896]

Even Troy Aikman says he's the #1 Cowboy of all time

[@JS-ut2dw]

I watched Roger Staubach play football and was amazed. I have watched Roger Staubach live life the way it should be, and that's beyond amazing. I don't deal out accolades too easily, however, in these times Roger is a man that should serve as an example of how people need to be. I'm proud that he was and always will be a Dallas Cowboy, and I'm proud that my children have learned just how good a person he really is. Thank you Roger and God bless you!!!

[@pjtheory]

Roger Staubach remains the only QB to successfully transition from the bump and run era to the current 5 yard chuck rule. The 1977 season was the last season in the bump and run era and Staubach led the Cowboys to their 2nd Lombardi Trophy. The new rules were implemented prior to the 1978 season and all Roger did was lead the NFL in passer rating in 1978 and 1979. When it came to the QB position, Staubach filled every box (e.g., strong arm, accurate, mobile, a leader, thrived in the clutch, and he retired prior to the 1980 season with the highest QB rating in NFL history), and is easily one of the Top 5 QB's in NFL history.

[@DC4L99]

What an incredible player, his ability to scramble and throw on the run was amazing. Didn’t even become a full time starter until he was 29 and still got the Cowboys to 4 Super Bowls and won 2 in the 70s. Truly one of the 5-10 greatest qbs to ever play.

[@mastick5106]

When I was rooting for the Steelers back in the 70s dynasty era, I felt like a two touchdown lead with less than half the fourth quarter left was game over - UNLESS we were playing Roger Staubach or Ken Stabler. And of those two, Staubach was the one I feared (and respected) more. Super Bowl XIII, he gets the ball with less than seven minutes left, down 18, facing the Steel Curtain - and darn near got it done. If they had recovered the second onside kick I think he would have finished the comeback.

[@josedopwell9645]

mastick , yeah, Staubach is the perfect example of a QB who never lost a game. He just ran out of time. He was terrifying in close games because of his will to win. RESPECT.

[@stevekloepping9634]

Give me Roger any day of the week and I ALWAYS had a chance to win the game no matter what the situation. He will always be my QB!!!

[@josedopwell9645]

Steve Kloepping , in a sense he was the Elway of the 70s. Great arm and mobility. Teammates always felt they had a chance to win, especially if a game was close late. I'm a Steelers fan but I'm convinced Staubach was the best QB of the 70s. He was terrifying to face in late game clutch situations. With Staubach playing against your team you never felt safe until the final gun sounded. He was undoubtedly more clutch than some QBs who are ranked ahead of him on all-time lists.

[@bodyweightkiller]

If you consider all aspects of a QB, Staubach is unquestionably Top 10.

[@claytongillen4568]

He's only 46? This is Roger stauhback where talking about here, he should be higher

[@gregoryevans8179]

Top 10 in my opinion

[@cuse445]

#46 ? Are you kidding me? I am an Eagles fan (for 46 years) and I will share with you what No. #12 meant to me. I seen my first "Roger Dodger" shellacking of my Eagles in 1974. I was 9 years old, It wasn't until I was 15 in 1979 when I finally seen my Eagles beat the Cowboys (1-10-0 from 75' to 79'). I went outside and jumped in a snowbank with my "Jaws" jersey on. Anyway, when No. #12 would take the field, I would look at him in awe, total awe, I thought he was invincible. I would sweat, and tense up watching him, scream at the TV get sent to my room, and on the day he retired I literally bawled my eyes out, because I wouldn't get to see my Eagles ever beat him again. I have never been in such awe with another NFL player ever again (although I did love McNabb), so ok, Cowboys, here you go coming from an Eagles fanatic, Roger Staubach is the greatest QB this Eagle has ever seen! -From Eagles with love. (Oh yeah, Captain America's 1976 Bicentennial Cowboys helmet? A freakin' classic!).

[@troyc4250]

You are a classy Eagles fan. More than that you’re able to put your colors aside and talk football. I really enjoyed watching Wilbert Montgomery when he played for your squad.

[@brandonmaddox4862]

From a cowboys fan I can say nothing but respect brother

[@troynov1965]

I remember watching the 75 Vikings game with my dad and brothers , one of the greatest game I ever watched .

[@vias3595]

Forget the stats and all the numbers that say otherwise. Staubach was simply the best and there will never be another quarterback like him. The ultimate competitor with incredible drive, along with eye-popping talent; more often than not, Staubach would always find a way to win, and did he ever. Thanks for the great memories, Roger; you're the best ever.

[@thomasjust2663]

I am so glad that I was born in 1962 and grew up in the 1970s. Roger Staubach and the Dallas Cowboys, Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers, The Oakland Raiders, the Miami Dolphins, the Los Angeles Rams, the Washington Redskins, the Houston Oilers, the Minnesota Vikings, the USC Trojans, the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Oklahoma Sooners, the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Michigan Wolverines, the Oakland Athletics, the Doobie Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Lynnard Skynard, Santana, Earth Wind & Fire, Steely Dan, the Rolling Stones, Chicago, the Allman Brothers , Stevie Wonder, the Marshall Tucker Band, Kansas, Elton John, Boston, Kiss, Frankie Beverly and Maze, the Ohio Players..... some of the greatest sports teams ever and my favorite music from the 1970s. I did NOT include the New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, the Eagles and Fleetwood Mack because I could NOT stand them.

[@aidancooney1834]

Staubach is by no means the greatest passer of all time. But he is THAT guy. I’d pick him over any QB. In my opinion he is the greatest leader of all time. He made the most amazing comebacks & highlight plays. The Comeback Kid couldn’t even wow me over a comeback win than the Comeback Kid could.

[@tylersmith7098]

I love all these Cowboys vids that just came out

[@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs]

Captain America, as he was called in the '70's was better than Bradshaw; this coming from a Steelers fan. Bradshaw did throw a better deep ball and he had 3 huge advantages: the Steel Curtain, Lynn Swann, and John Stallworth. He's still imo, the best quarterback in Cowboys' history and yes that includes Aikman and Romo.

[@benitomota2711]

Captain Comeback?

[@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs]

+Benito Mota he was called Captain America also since he was the quarterback of "America's Team". Hell, he's the reason why they're called "America's Team". Before him , they were the team that could never win the big one with the late "Dandy" Don Meredith.

He is THE Man!

[@miguelporraz]

The NFL is today thanks to Roger Staubach in the 1970's when is when the NFL had its biggest boom and it was in part because of the Dallas Cowboys and especially because of Roger Staubach.He made football international. In Mexico we started watching the NFL in the early 70s which is when RS came into playing and making the Cowboys America's team.

[@thesentinel5523]

A 49er fan here so I got no love for any Dallas Cowboy...however I have an appreciation for Roger "the Dodger" Staubach. He lives up to the legendary status Cowboy fans hold him in but what I noticed about his style is how much it reminded me of how Steve Young played the QB position. Turns out RS12 was his absolute hero growing up and idolized him as a player and a man. If I ever encounter Mr. Staubach someday I'll first thank him for his service to our country and 2nd I'll thank him for directly inspiring the QB who lead my team to eventually winning the Superbowl in 94'. The two actually met for the first time during the coin-toss for the 1992 NFC Championship game.

[@MrTruth76]

Roger is my favorite

[@jakemitchell1671]

I had the horrible fortune of falling in love with the "St Louis" Cardinals back in the early '70s. Oh man.... I LOVED that team! Jim Hart, Terry Metcalf, Jim Otis, Dan Dierdorff, Conrad Dobler, Mel Gray....BUT it just so happened they played in the NFC East with the Eagles, Giants, Redskins, and..of course....The damn Dallas Cowboys! If I had a dollar for every time Roger Staubach broke my Cardinal-loving heart (Hart? ...lol)....I could long retired. I HATED him, but boy did I respect him! He should be higher just for crushing my dreams so many times!!!!

[@thegutpunch1726]

Jim Hart was Ballin though lol! He just couldn't improvise like Roger. But those Hart, Metcalf, Mel Gray years, the Cardinals were a problem. And as a Cowboys fan I feared and respected those guys. Along with that Dan Dierdorf and Conrad Dobler led OL. Dudes were whoopin people lol

[@jakemitchell1671]

@@thegutpunch1726 Boy do I remember! Being an Ole Miss fan, my dream was that the Cards would wind up with Archie Manning. I'm not sure it would have made much difference, but I sure did hate to see Archie waste his talents in NO. But Hart was a very, very good QB with a canon arm. He doesn't get much love these days because they didn't win enough and there were SO many great QBs in that era. My dad was a Dallas Cowboy fan, and we had some really heated rivalries watching the Cowboys and Cards play each other. Great memories of a great time in NFL history.

[@JohnDoe-zg6fn]

Staubach was beast!!! I had an Upperdeck football card(that came out later) that was signed by Staubach when I was a kid. My dad met him fixing his sewer line at his house and Staubach signed it.(My dad was a plumber) I loved that card, but my dad ended up selling it so we can pay our mortgage.😢😢😢😢 I was mad at my dad for so long but as I grew up I understood why he did it.

3:33 Amazing how that Butch Johnson catch in Super Bowl 12 was even remotely considered a catch by the standards of that era. Now you have to catch the ball run home with it take a nap wake up take a shower eat breakfast and come back to the stadium while the same game is being played before it's even considered a catch

[@bigtip8371]

They played by the rule that if it crossed the plane of the goal, it was a touchdown... everything that happened after that was inconsequential.

A time when it was exceptionally difficult to pass, and QBs were not protected. Besides that, he was monumentally held back by Landry's system --the central reason why he retired, because he still has plenty of game left in him but was tired of Landry's short leash.

He was tremendously successful in real estate after football. (Quite a few of his Cowboy teammates were also highly successful in business post-football). I believe he sold the company he established for over $600 million.

If you're down two touch downs in the 4th quarter, pick the top 5 QBs you want leading your team. If Roger is not on your list, you need to do some homework.

Unitas. Stabler. Montana. Starr. Layne.

[@ericanderson7059]

Quarterback of the 70s should be top 15

I'd give Fran Tarkenton the OG honors but Staubach wasn't too far off and I loved watching him play back in the day. Damn I'm old lol
