After a few years, the reserve quarterback "Dandy" Don Meredith has emerged to become the motor of a regular starter. It was popular with the fans and would remain at the helm of the team until a strong young army was able to get his opportunity at the end of the decade.
The 1970
throughout the 1970s, Roger Staubach was the face of the Dallas Cowboys and was one of the main reasons the team was successful in the field. Staubach had a reputation as a good person of high quality to go along with his tremendous athletic ability. It 'was a sad day after the season 1979, when "Roger Dodger," announced his retirement and the team turned its tasks quarterbacking toward all people ... a punter.
The 1980
Danny White was the backup quarterback for Staubach for a number of years and in this period he also served as the team's punter. This has the Cowboys made a dangerous team when it emerged as the starter in 1981, because when it was fourth down, no one was ever sure if they were going to go for it or even punt the ball. In the mid-1980s he developed a quarterback controversy in Dallas when the young Gary Hogeboom joined the team. This controversy did not last long as Hogeboom finally moved on to the Colts and Cowboys drafted a new young quarterback would get a shot at starting, Steve Pelleur. The end of the decade has seen what some believe to be dumped unceremoniously at the legendary Tom Landry and hiring the brash Jimmy Johnson.

The 190

Aikman would remain at the helm for the rest of the decade, and although it did not return to the big game, which have always been considered a team that others have had to worry.
The 00s
following a season in the new decade, Troy Aikman would call it a career too, and fade in the memories of the past.
