The quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys
Quarterback Dallas Cowboys is one of the most prized positions in all of professional football, and one that children across the country, a day dream of filling.
The Dallas franchise has been in business for over forty years and during that time, some players have done exceptional work of Field Marshal holder. It was Don "Dandy Don Meredith, who led the Cowboys to their first winning season back in the 1960s, as Tom Landry was starting to build the team through the hard years of the 1960s. But it never came the Cowboys to a Super Bowl, he remains highly respected among Cowboy fans for their contribution during this time.
Roger Staubach was the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys for most of the 1970s, when they dominated the NFC. He just took in the 10th round pick in the NFL, and not even start to play professional football for five seasons later, due to his service in the army, which saw him serve in Vietnam voluntarily.
In 1971, Staubach eventually took over the starting quarterback role at a time when the team was struggling with a record barely positive. The Cowboys finished the season with a run of ten wins without interruption, culminating in the victory of 24.3 on the Miami Dolphins in the Super Bowl. He was voted the Most Valuable Player (MVP) on winning the Super Bowl, and secured a place in history.
The quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys by another period of great success again in the 1990s was Troy Aikman. Aikman was a totally different case, in which it was developed as the number one choice of the entire project in 1989. At that time, Dallas was coming off a league worst 1-15 season, and later in the year they sold their star running back Herschel Walker to get more draft picks. Within three years, it was all worth it.
Dallas was the worst team in the league to lift the trophy for Super Bowl, and Aikman played a huge role in that, being voted the MVP of Super Bowl after passing for 273 yards and 4 touchdowns. When the Cowboys win the Super Bowl proved it was no accident, retain the trophy the following year, Aikman produced a long season passing rating of 99.
The current quarterback, Tony Romo, was picked up by the Cowboys as a free agent signing, not having been selected in the draft. He was very close to the court from the list before he had the chance to show what he could do, but in 2006 took over veteran Drew Bledsoe, for some purposes, earning his first starting game by 35-14.
Romo has, in this 2007 season, has given a contract extension that will see him stay Cowboy for a further period of six years. It seems fairly secure, injuries permitting, to continue to start games as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
