Great post, K-Mack.+1! The way you rattled off the UMU QB's was impressive.

I can't rattle off the Dallas Cowboy QB's that easily, but then there have been a lot of them that I want to forget! 

That is because there are only three worth mentioning and only two of them won Super Bowls.  The three are Dandy Don, Roger Staubach and Troy Aikmen.  All the rest are just cannon fodder.

I'm so glad you didn't mention Danny white

I can give you four more who are worthy of mention.

Eddie LeBaron was the first Dallas QB as was a Pro Bowler for the Washington Redskins in the 1950's. He is in the Washington Redskins Ring of Honor.

Craig Morton was in the Quarterback Shuffle during the Super Bowl VI-winning 1971 season with Staubach. Morton later led the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl against the Cowboys in Super bowl XII after the 1977 season.  Morton is on the Broncos Ring Of Honor.

Dan Reeves was also pressed into duty a backup QB when the other QB's were injured.  He has most Super Bowl appearances of anyone (9).

Yes, the rest are just cannon-fodder!  Thanks for the opportunity to reminesce of when the Cowboys were a real team, kinda like the Mount Union of the NFL.

As for Danny White, in the immortal words of Tom Landry, "No Danny! NO!"

I never realized the Eddie LeBaron played for the Cowboys.  I forgot about Craig Morton because he played for Giants, Broncos and Cowboys.  He definitely is worth mentioning.  I never realized the Dan Reeves played qb for the Cowboys.

Aikman was drafted by Jimmy Johnson. Jerry Jones has not had a decent QB (a decent Dallas Cowboy QB) since Aikman.

If the 49'ers don't make "the Catch" in the 1981 NFC championship game, then Danny White probably has a different career!

Reeves was a halfback but did throw the go ahead TD in the ICE Bowl on a option pass before Starr led the original "drive."

Danny White was a pretty good qb for a punter.

So if you are looking for end of the year articles still, how about odd happenings this season: LiDarraling.

Keith,

We have two Sophomore QBs leading their teams - kind of an anomaly I would think.

This definitely made my list, but thanks for keeping it top of mind.

Yeah, we sort of wrote that feature last week, contrasting Bailey and Wara with Burke and O'Connell, so now we can't write it again this week. but we can acknowledge it in the Stagg Bowl broadcast!
