    What the Dallas fans did to Danny White and Tony Romo was awful. Before Staubach, Don Meredith and Craig Morton didn't get Championships either. Staubach lost twice to Pittsburgh. After Troy Aikman, Dallas didn't even have winning records until Romo came. Dallas was extremely lucky that Bill Parcells found him. Now it's being done to Dak. What so bizarre about it is that it's those who don't even know what Spring drills are because they never had the guts to try out on any team sport to begin with. Most who have actually played at any level understands the discipline and commitment it takes to achieve success. What Dak has already been through in his young life already makes him a Champion. I hope he signs the one year, then out the door. Because no one person can do it alone.

      Relax with Tony and Dak. Yes Tony got a lot of crap, some of it brought on by himself, but most of his critics are from Cowboy haters, not Cowboy fans. The only big criticisms I've seen of Dak so far has actually been from Romo fans who felt he(Romo) should've started when healthy in 2016 or from people criticizing him now saying he's asking for too big a contract.

    To Ashleigh Elizabeth: I am a bit older, so I got to see Roger in his prime, but, even during Roger’s best years, Danny was a savior. One thing you missed was Danny running a lot out of punt formation. Being a Quarterback, he not only could throw, but run, as well. No one was ever safe on fourth down defending Dallas back then. Danny also helped save several games that Roger couldn’t finish. His biggest might have been the comeback playoff win over the Falcons where we overcame a 17 deficit in the second half. Another thing you might not remember in the Catch game is that Danny nearly threw an 80 yard touchdown pass to Drew Pearson immediately after Dwight Clark’s catch. White hit Pearson in stride and he nearly split the db’s for a score. They barely got Drew to the ground, but it looked good for us. We had a first down on the 49er 45 or so with about 1:50 left. Alas, White was held up and stripped on the next play, and it was debatable whether the play was dead ( They had the Grasp and Control rule then). Anyway, had that been called, the play would have been dead and we’d have had a second down at the 50 with three timeouts. As we had Septien as a kicker, if that rule had been enforced, we were still in pretty good shape.
    That game was the middle of a run that no NFC Quarterback has ever equalled. Danny took the Cowboys to three straight NFC championship games. Only Brady and Jim Kelly have done that in the AFC. I say that to say this. I believe only Roger and Troy are better than Danny in Cowboy history, not Dandy Don, not Tony and not Dak. He is not only the most underrated Cowboy quarterback ever, but one of the most underrated in NFC history. He is certainly better than a two time Super Bowl winner like Eli Manning. If he had just won once, he would have gotten the recognition he deserved. I know we sure missed him when he was gone.

    Neal Anderson was the running back from Florida, that Emmitt Smith had to replace at Florida. Remember, there really wasn't any type of Combine to determine what to draft either. It was by reputation alone by the coaches of the schools. Walter Payton played at Jackson State, and a 4th pick in 1975. Only one other running back was selected in the 1st round. It's truly amazing how the NFL acquired the talent on teams in the way that it did. The lower level schools were rarely touched unless it was in desperation. Payton, Jerry Rice, from schools nobody knew about and haven't since.

    As usual, pretty good list. Danny White replacing Roger was good in that you mentioned.his three consecutive NFC championship games. I know he never got to the Super Bowl, but that accomplishment had not been done by anyone when he first did it. He was a good quarterback in Dallas, maybe good enough to be third right now on the Cowboys list (Yes Tony Romo set all kinds of records, but you have to win more than one playoff game). White even won a playoff game with a huge comeback coming in for Roger and trailing by double digits. One thing that people forget and that was not mentioned is that Danny was Dallas’s punter his entire career, while doing double duty from 1980 on. He also was a pretty fair arena league head coach, winning multiple championships.
    Jimmy Johnson was different than Tom Landry, who, although fading when he was axed, might have been the greatest defensive mind of all time. Remember, as an assistant with the Giants he invented the 4-3 defense. The majority of NFL teams STILL use it as their base defense. He came up with it in 1957. The big thing with Jimmy Johnson was his work at GM. He coached that team, and he built it as well. I think his lack of longevity kept him from being higher on this list. And he could have been the first to win four titles in a row but for a bogus pass interference no call for Deion Sanders against Michael Irvin. That would have also caused Steve Young not to win his Super Bowl ( although I do like Steve).
    Lastly, Leroy Kelly was as good of a replacement as you could expect for Jim Brown. Let us not forget, he didn’t have Paul Brown as his coach for most of his career. Anyway, I think Leroy growing up in such a gifted family may have helped him be ready for prime time. His brother was pro baseball player Pat Kelly and his sister was actress Paula Kelly.

      There isn't an NFL player in history that I feel sympathy for more than Danny White. I am just young enough to have no conscious memory of watching Roger play live and in fact the first game I can ever remember watching is the loss to the 49ers. So for the next 5 years Danny White, Tony Dorsett and Coach Landry WERE the Dallas Cowboys for me. The back half of the 86 season through 1988 was some of the most painful football I've ever watched and in some ways even worse than the one win 89 season. I still pulled for Dallas through the Jimmy Johnson years and I was still a huge fan but it was never quite the same after Coach Landry and Danny left town.

Speed, grace, power and elusiveness was found all in one package about 5 feet 9 inches tall. This no knock on Jim Brown but if pressed I loves me some Barry Sanders.

      Namath threw for 4000 yards in the late 1960’s. Except for Dan Fouts, I don’t think any other quarter back did that until the 90’s. Plus for much of his career his knees were mush. The treatment was much different back then, as well. It was inject them with cortisone and send them back out there. Because they had no MRI technology, they couldn’t tell how much damage they could be doing to a player by numbing him up. I read fro m a Namath biography that in the early 70’s he was getting both knees drained after every game. I think that impressed me with him even more when I read it.

    • @hippolytabaker9559
      @hippolytabaker9559 Před 2 lety +3

      The more important statistic comparing these two is completion percentage imo, and Todd was quite a bit more accurate--55% to Namath's 50.1%
      Namath did win more, though, so make of that what you will
      But I don't blame Todd a whole lot, he did really well considering the Jets weren't back in the playoffs until his 5th year and didn't post a winning record the entirety of the 70s

      I guess that was the price we had to pay for that win...and you know something.......for Jets fans my age or older, the price was well worth it.
      In my opinion that was the greatest upset of all time, and to make it even sweeter, a few of the Jets, including Coach Weeb Ewbank, had been cut/fired by the Colts in the early 60's!!

As I said, I think you're right that ultimately Rodgers is regarded as having the better career than Young, but he wasn't following what many still consider to be the greatest QB of all-time.

It honestly turned Packers fans against one another, something I'd never seen before. There are still those that try to nit-pick everything about Aaron and compare him to Brett every chance they can.
    Fortunately, most of it died away when the Packers took SB 45, but boy was Aaron under a microscope by Packers fans for those first 3 seasons he was the QB for Green Bay.

    I'm a Falcons fan, but whoever has to replace Drew Brees in the future has major weight on their shoulders to carry those Saints.

      If it wasn’t for 07, Matt Ryan replacing Mike Vick should make the list.

      Bob W nah if Michael Vick didn’t get involved with stupid shit Matt Ryan woulda been drafted somewhere and the falcons would draft a qb or get a veteran in free agency 5 years down the road

      Yes. I feel for fellow Buckeye Michael Thomas when he is healthy again.

      Michael Vick never won anything and 0 superbowl appearances and not even a hall of famer so he wasn't that hard to replace for Matt Ryan lol

    If this list was ever updated I think whoever replaces Tom Brady this football season would be number 1 on this list. No matter if it was apart of the system or not replacing a guy who won 6 SUPER BOWLS as a starting quarterback will be the most difficult thing to do. Whoever the quarterback is will be in for a year to get theirs butts chewed up my the media.

    Holy sh*t Todd replacing Namath is so reminiscent of Eli getting replaced by Daniel Jones

    Updated number one, a tie between whoever replaces Bellechik, or whoever replaces Brady
