Cowboys Nostalgia Thread

His completion percentage in the playoffs was over 70% during those Super Bowl years and that’s back when they weren’t protecting receivers like they do now. I never worried about Troy.

Most accurate QB to ever play the game. If you walked to ball down the field and handed the ball to the receiver you couldn't be more accurate. I loved watching him play.

I believe it wasn't until Aikman came along that the phrase "throw the receiver open" came along. His timing that he had built with his receivers was just unreal.
 


I was at that Washington game in DC in 1987 when Danny White and Neil Olkewicz went at it after a TD pass to Rod Barksdale. I vividly remember Eugene Lockhart walking out onto the field about 10 yards during that fight dressed in his suit (he had broken his leg a week or two before) and looking like he was going to hit someone with his cane.

The 49ers were also unreal. Nothing against Dak but Troy was just in a different class.

Some people seem to have forgotten just how good Roy was at the beginning. He was my favorite player in the early 2000s until he fell off the cliff.

His rookie season was his best, and we can thank Darren Woodson for that. Woody took on the responsibilities of getting folks lined up and taking on grunt work freeing Roy to be instinctive.

Williams had a truly great year to kick things off.

The next year Parcells had the whole defense ready to play, and he and Zimmer burned out Dat Nguyen and Darren Woodson, and maybe confused Terence Newman over-relying on these three the whole way. Roy was a hitter but didn't lead the team. The brains and leadership left with Woody and Nguyen the following year.

When they sucked again, prompting an overhaul and shift to the 3-4 in 2005 when they found Ware and lucked into Aaron Glenn and Anthony Henry as free agents.

Little before my time. I did get the official NFL one autographed by Pete Rozelle when I was 6. Anybody remember Voit footballs? They were prevalent in recreational inventories in the 70s, early 80s. They had very pointed ends and could fuck you up if you caught one in the sternum.

I remember those. If you could throw a tight spiral, you were a deadly motherfucker on the playground throwing that thing at unsuspecting kids that may have wronged you in some way.

And, IIRC they were cheap. I had one so they couldn’t have been that expensive.
