Staubach became the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys in 1971. In 9 years as a starter he led the Cowboys to 4 Superbowls and 2 NFL Championships. He missed the first 4 years of his pro career by serving in the Navy. Truly one the the greatest of all time.
He was a backup QB his first 2 yrs. In 1972, he separated his shoulder in a preseason game against the Rams and practically missed that season, coming off the bench in the last month.
@depaola Thanks for your nice comment/words concerning DPearson. As you probably know by now, D88P finally got in, and this year 2023, so did Chuck Howley, after a ridiculous 45 year wait. I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, since 1963, but I absolutely loved Bud Grant and ALL of those tough Viking players, especially when they played in the greatest NFL stadium of all-time...... Metropolitan Stadium R. I. P. Metropolitan Stadium God bless our pro football heroes from a by-gone era 🏈
I'm 49 years old and had the opportunity to see these guys play in the 70's at Texas Stadium. Born and raised in Dallas; royal blue in my blood. I can remember staring at Staubach, Landry and Dorsett on the side line as a 10 year old in awe. To this day these guys are my heroes. Always wanted to see Too Tall up close as a kid; got a chance to a couple of years ago and the kid came out. Great video!
Drew Pearson not being in the Hall is tragic. Like a Dallas sports reporter said years ago, late in a game when everyone in the stadium knew the ball was going to Drew, he always found a way to get open, whether for Roger or Danny White.
Sometimes the HOF people can be very stupid and this is one of those times and they keep doing it every year they dont put him in! Nothing short of STUPID!
@@KnockOffBeingFat on top of being the most "clutch" receiver in nfl history, all you need to do is compare Drew's stats with those of many hof receivers including Lynn Swan. Its truly a shame that the hall refuses to place Mr. Pearson in the hall. What a travesty. #the original 88!
Staubach missed his first four pro seasons to his commitment to the navy. A lot of people forgot about that aspect of his career. He then sat behind Morton for two years. Despite being one of the greatest all-time pro coaches that was still Landry's biggest career blunder. Staubach is one of the greatest combined college and pro football or basketball players ever.
No doubt. The cowboys went to the NFC championship game 3 straight years after he retired with Danny White. You have to think he wins at least two of those if he played instead of White.
@@PaulRobert474 Actually staubach was on the decline and he knew it. Danny White was a fantastic QB. He should have 2 rings himself. His defense blew 2 Of those championship games.
What a Decade the 1970's there will never be one like it - America was great and so was Football , we were the good guys and the bad guys were always easy to spot. God was important to people and so was love.
I remember that pass to Johnson is SB XII very well. Right after the game, a group of us kids went out and tried to replicate it diving into snowbanks in Cheyenne Wyoming. Staubach threw that ball roughly 55 yds in the air and right on target. One of the best deep ball throwers in history. Mahomes is the modern "Captain America"...
I maybe a STEELERS fan and yes I'm from Pittsburgh,But roger staubach.is a football icon,and MR laundry also .we always had resepct for both of them,outstanding men
+wolfmanrick You guys were unstoppable back then, my Cowboys played with so much heart but were outmatched by the very good Steelers, the 79 game was a heart breaker.
Another Cowboys fan here with nothing but respect for that Steelers team. I remember thinking it was unfair for Ham and Lambert to be in the same Linebacking corps LOL.
Some "great" flashback memories here! Loved watching Roger & co., and the notable lack of celebration after the td's. Their gyrations after "anything" they do that they're getting paid to do make me sick now-a-days!
We fans may have derided the other teams as "Filthydelphia, Deadskins", etc, and maybe everyone else was upset about the "America's Team" label, but Roger "The Dodger" Staubach was a class act on and off the field. A true man of honor, and a competitor that never gave up. Football was made much poorer the day he retired.
It was to Butch Johnson. And it was a legitimate TD according to the rules then, not now. Staubach played only two seasons after the 1978 rule changes. He played six of his eight full seasons while receivers got mugged all the way downfield and with much less sophisticated passing routes. Had he played today when receivers run free and QBs are protected from late hits and head shots, he would tear up the league. And, FYI, Richards caught the TD from Newhouse on the trick play.
Staubach had a rifle arm. Check out the rotation on the ball, and the low arch, to Butch Johnson in SB XII. The ball went about 55 yd in the air and got there in no time.
Roger Staubach...2-2 in Super Bowls as the starting QB for the Cowboys. Could easily be 3-1 or 4-0 with those close losses to the Steelers. Roger was a top notch competitor and is a first class individual! Great play on the field, and great service to our country!
luv my cowboys,but,butch Johnson catch in supe 12 would be incomplete today with relplay.also,that was not interference on benny Barnes against Swann in supe 13.
It would be incomplete by todays rules, but by the rules at the time it was a legit touchdown. He possessed the ball in the end zone, that's all he needed to do. Replay would have confirmed the TD.
Anybody else notice the huge difference in behavior of these players compared to the players of today? Classy, tough men of yesterday, compared with the selfish, way overpaid childish players of today. Touchdowns were celebrated with the occasional spike of the ball, but mostly with a high five or a pat on the back, then they got off the field. Today, it’s the endless drama, the look at me behavior by these selfish players that feel the need for an incredible amount of attention. Compared to the days when pro football players were real men, todays players are pathetic selfish children. That’s what I think, how about you?
Pro football from 40 years ago still looks like football; especially when you compare it to basketball, which has become a game where good defense is discouraged.
Roger Staubach could have easily had 9 had Jackie Smith not dropped That Easy Pass thrown to him in Super Bowl XIII. Roger "The Dodger" Staubach was The Greatest NFL Quarterback in his time!
Great player, great man! This footage reminds me of how players used to follow the adage “when you score a touchdown, act like you’ve been there before”....instead of the clownish idiocy that is common today after every play.
If Staubach wouldn't have served those 4 years in the Navy after college, then he would have had more NFL Championships under his belt. Those Superbowl losses to the Stealers may have never been and Cowboys may have had more Superbowl appearances with victories. Roger may have finished with 7 or 8 Superbowl rings. I never seen a QB quite like him that can engineer an offense out of anything. Of course when he played his last year it wasn't the same, but he was still a force in his final playing days.
To win their first Super Bowl, Dallas only needed the champions of 1963. The '63 Heisman Trophy (Staubach) threw TD passes to the '63 AFL champion wide receiver (Lance Alworth) and the '63 NFL champion tight end (Mike Ditka).
With the new rules today the TD pass to Butch Johnson vs Denver would have been overturned. I remembered how the Broncos players argued that down to no avail. On the flip side, Romo's pass play to Dez Bryant in the NFC divisional playoffs in 2014 would have been a TD under the old rules. Go figure. The NFL giveth , the NFL taketh away. smh
this was great.. the only reason the Steelers won both Superbowls against Dallas is because the clock beat Dallas.. STAUBACH ran out of time.. great footage..#Classic
I love Coach Landry and have all the respect in the world for him, but play calling killed Dallas on that opening drive. Dorsett ran three times for 38 yards. The Cowboys O-line was coming off the ball and controlling Joe Greene and that great front four. Then, on 1st down, Landry calls the double reverse. Fumble. Pitt takes over and goes down for the opening score. Should have kept giving the ball to Dorsett. Steelers had no answer for him. That game was winnable.
For grins, I might've included the pass that hit Percy Howard on the top of the helmet in the end zone at the end of SB X. Howard came close to being a SB legend if he'd just turned around and looked for the ball. Perfect throw. Oh well, he was the 4th WR on the depth chart.
It's 2020 now, and that TD pass against Denver would never stand up to the current rules of what's a catch.....just saying.......Staubach was magical....
Ironic Staubach’s first 2 super bowl TDs were thrown to Lance Alworth and Mike Ditka, 2 legends associated with other nfl teams the Chargers and the Bears. I also thought it was funny after the Drew Pearson TD Hank Stram called Pat Summerall “Patrick”. I listened to Madden and Summerall for decades and I’m certain I never heard Madden call him Patrick lol.
Imagine if Roger and his Cowboys had beat the Steelers in either X or XIII. Dallas and Pittsburgh would each have three in the 70's. Which team would be considered the team of the decade?
theres a book "Men of Steel". About 70's football. Great stories from the greatest era. Mean Joe Green hated the Cowboys, he went to North Texas State, born in texas. Landry told him pre-draft he was gonna be a Cowboy. Also, some Steelers talk about how them and Oakland got looked at as dirty teams because of the black uniforms. But they said the early Dolphins were dirty AF!! they got away with it because of the teal and orange colors and flipper on their helmet. lol They said the early 70's Dolphins ruled the AFC and made the Raiders and Steelers tougher football teams
How the hell was that Butch Johnson TD a catch even in the 70s rules? Now it’s obvious it wouidnt be a catch today but even back then it couldn’t. He barely had possession of the ball
No, it was ruled correctly. Sure, with TODAY'S rules it would be considered incomplete. But back then the rules were different, and it was ruled correctly... a completed pass.
There is NO way the pass to #86 in the SB against the Broncos was a catch, let alone a touchdown. That was not a catch under any set of football rules ever. The receiver has always had to secure the ball through contact with the ground. The ground cannot cause a fumble, but it's always been able to cause an incompletion, which that pass was.
If you had a top 10 list of refs worst calls the Butch Johnson phantom TD might be #1. It wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome of the game, Cowboys were clearly the better team.
That butch johnson catch against Denver should of not have been a td he let the ball go as soon as he turned over he didnt even have the ball for 2 seconds horrible call
DIEHARD COWBOYS FAN SINCE DORSETT ROOKIE YEAR ! Watched that game as 9 yr old and when that play happened I thought it was no catch. Was kinda surprised refs gave him TD. I'll take it tho ! Lol

Pete Rozelle said after that game that it was incidental contact and a penalty should not have been called.
I think it's fitting that Staubach's first Superbowl TD pass was to Legendary wide receiver Lance Alworth.
Staubach’s drop backs were sooooo quick as was his release
He was a thing of beauty to watch play QB. Same watching Gale Sayers run the ball.
