Towerbridge Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 From what I've read White was treated a bit unfairly because he took over from a legend in Staubach. Would you take him over Dak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///mcompact Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I started watching the Cowboys in the early 80s, so Danny White was the quarterback. Despite Roger Staubach memorabilia adorning the living room from my Dad, as far as I was concerned, Danny White was THE quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. It took me a long time to warm up to Troy Aikman later. Danny was a better athlete than Dak and also punted the ball. As in, not a trick play, he punted the ball for the Cowboys on 4th down; we didn't have another punter on the roster. As a kid, I thought that was just normal. Beyond that, Dak is a better QB.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Same tier, but Danny to his credit had at least a couple of quality playoff games where he played pretty well. He just got stonewalled in the NFC title game 3 times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbertGOAT Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Danny White was one of the most unfairly treated QBs of all-time. Dallas had a legit top 10, at times top 5 QB for a decade and the only thing they could do was cry that he wasn't Roger Staubach. I think Dak is probably a bit better though on the basis of the terrible coaching he's had to overcome for his whole career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you take him over Dak? White is statistically the best QB the Cowboys have ever had. He never had the team around him that Staubach did, particularly on defense. Also, it seems clear that Roger was a better game manager for what that is worth. The one people sleep on is Tony Romo. He was also much better than Dak.

Nightime Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 White took the Cowboys further 3 times But Prescott never had a coach like Landry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
