In one of those camps, no one remembers when, a reporter asked Garrison about the best teams he had been a part of and the quarterbacks on those teams. Garrison said Meredith was the smartest quarterback he ever played with and that Craig Morton had the best arm. He then added if you had to pick a quarterback to go out and win one game, it would be Staubach.
When the story appeared in print it mentioned Meredith and Morton but left out his quote about Staubach. The quarterback confronted Garrison the next day in camp.
Garrison didn’t back down.
“Look, you anchor clanker, let me tell you something,’’ Garrison said, poking fun at Staubach’s time at the Naval Academy. “Meredith called his own plays. Morton called his own plays. Landry didn’t start calling plays until you started starting.
“Now, tell me who’s smarter.’’
