Editor's note: SportsDay is beginning a series that attempts to figure out the best Dallas Cowboys players at each position. Today we examine quarterbacks.
The Dallas Cowboys organization is one of great success and has an illustrious history. There have been some big names that have worn jerseys for America's Team.
Out of all of the quarterbacks in franchise history, who was the best? That's what our panel of writers and columnists tried to determine.
Each voter named their top five quarterbacks. A first-place vote counted for five points, second place gets four points, third place gets three points and so on.
Those who listed their top five players include Brandon George, Kate Hairopoulos, David Moore, Jon Machota, Tim Cowlishaw, Rick Gosselin and Kevin Sherrington.
Here's how they broke it down:
1). Roger Staubach (6 first-place vote), 34 points
2. Troy Aikman (1 first-place vote), 29 points
3. Danny White, 16 points
T-4. Don Meredith 13 points
5. Tony Romo, 13 points
The rundown
George: Aikman won one more Super Bowl, but Staubach helped lead the Cowboys to five.
Hairopoulos: Staubach made the Cowboys America's team.
Moore: Gap between the top two and rest of field can only be shortened by multiple Super Bowl titles.
Machota: The No. 3 spot was tough. I went with the franchise leader in passing yards, TDs and fourth-quarter comebacks.
Cowlishaw: Two Hall of Famers at this position sets this franchise apart.
Gosselin: Staubach is the most underrated, underappreciated QBs in NFL history.
Sherrington: Staubach could have won big in any era. Don't know if you could say the same about the rest.
