MJ, why I used Staubach in my Post.

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=131879228

I followed and was a Fan of Football up until 1979 when I left for Germany, where I became an Auto racing fan, following Formula one and attended a few races and also attended the 24hrs of Lemans once. . I came back to the states in 82, and began following IndyCar. Went back to Germany in 1985, where I followed F1 around Euope and even Monte Carlo every year.

After 79 I didn't follow Football during the regular Season except the playoffs and Superbowl there only so much Time one can devote to Sports and between F1 and Indy Car my plate was Full.

We all have our favorites and no dout Tom Brady is one of the Greats.

Roger Staubach might have been even better had he not quit in 79 due to having been knocked unconscious 20 times. A doctor at Cornell told Staubach that while his brain tests were fine at the moment, another concussion could have life-altering consequences.

Roger was asked by the Cowboys to sign another 2 year contract and declined.

When Roger Staubach was behind center you felt as though you always had a chance to win.

What I recall the most was his leadership and his ability to run the two-minute drill. Countless games where the Cowboys were down (by more than a field goal) in the fourth quarter with well under two minutes to go and you just knew they were going to win. You knew it, the Cowboys and their fans knew it, and their opponents knew it, You knew that when it came down to crunch time Staubach would drive his team the full length of the field and score the touchdown to go up.

You knew that when it came down to crunch time Staubach would drive his team the full length of the field and score the touchdown to go up by two points with a few seconds to go. With a shortened NFL carreer due to military service I think his stats don't really reflect how good a quarterback Roger Staubach really was.

Where did the term Hail Mary Pass come from:


Perhaps Staubach's most famous moment was the "Hail Mary pass" in the 1975 playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings. With seconds on the clock and the Cowboys trailing 14–10, Staubach launched a 50-yard bomb to wide receiver Drew Pearson, who caught the pass and strode into the end zone for a 17–14 victory. After the game, Staubach said he threw the ball and said a "Hail Mary." Since then, any last-second pass to the end zone in a desperate attempt to score a game-winning or tying touchdown is referred to as a "Hail Mary" pass.

Roger was one of the most exciting NFL players of the 1970s. Known as "Roger The Dodger" for his scrambling abilities, "Captain America" as quarterback of America's Team, and also as "Captain Comeback" for his fourth quarter game-winning heroics,

Staubach had a penchant for leading scoring drives which led the Cowboys to improbable victories. He led the Cowboys to 23 game-winning drives (15 comebacks) in the fourth quarter, with 17 of those in the final two minutes or in overtime.

In 1972, he missed most of the season with a separated shoulder, but he relieved Morton in a divisional playoff against the San Francisco 49ers and threw two touchdown passes in the last 90 seconds to win the game 30–28. With that performance, he won back his regular job and did not relinquish it again during his career.

Staubach led the Cowboys to a second Super Bowl win in the 1977 season. He threw for 183 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions, in Dallas' 27–10 victory in Super Bowl XII over the Denver Broncos.

In his final NFL season of 1979, Staubach set career highs in completions (267), passing yards (3,586) and touchdown passes (27), with just 11 interceptions.


Roger Staubach had the Highest Rating when he retired after the 1979 season. Over 30 years later he still has the 2nd highest Winning Percentage for Quarterbacks with 100 or more starts. He played really 8 full seasons & took the Cowboys to 4 Super Bowls.

His 9th season as a starter he was injured most of the year & came in to to pull out a Cowboy Victory against the 49ers in 1972. The 2 Super Bowls he lost as a starter he lost to the Greatest Defense of All Time (the Steelers). If Tom Landry would have played Staubach in Super Bowl V against the Baltimore Colts he would of won that one. Defenses in the 70's were allowed to use their hands on the receivers back then, much more than today.

COLLEGE YEARS:

It took Navy 43 years to beat Notre Dame after Staubach's 1963 beat them & also when was the last time anyone could remember Navy being ranked # 2 in the Country at the end of the year.


It's very hard to say who's the Greatest because of rule changes in each decade, but Staubach takes a back seat to no one.

What makes F1 different from Indy Car:

F1 is the pinnacle of Technology when it comes to auto racing.

NO Roundy Rounds.

In the late 90's engines were dual Turbo Charged. A 1.6 Liter Motor was pulling 1,100 HP.

An F1 Car can go from ZERO to 200 mph and back to ZERO again in 12 Seconds. Think about it for a Second or 12.

Momba, Not to take anything away from Brady, we are probably from different eras. I hope you would watch these videos when you have the time. They dipict the Man with the Ball when I was a Football Fan.
