Question
Who was the quarterback before Roger Staback?

Answer
Hi Clarence,

Although my expertise is more in the 1990's and current Dallas Cowboys, I do know some history when it pertains to Roger Staubach.  After winning the Heisman Trophy and honoring his Navy commitment, Staubach entered the NFL in 1969.  Quarterback Craig Morton was the starter before  Staubach took over with head coach Tom Landry even alternating games at times.  Staubach eventually won out the contest and Morton would later move on to quarterback for the New York Giants and Denver Broncos, eventually losing to Staubach and the Cowboys in Super Bowl 12 with the latter.  For more on Craig Morton, check out his wikipedia page.

I hope that helped and thanks for asking!!!

Expertise

I have extensive knowledge of the 1990's-Present Dallas Cowboys teams. Specifically, team uniforms, equipment, and so forth. I own numerous Cowboys memorabilia and would love to one day write a book on the evolution of the team's uniforms dating back to their inception in 1960. I may not be able to answer most Cowboys questions prior to the 1990's as I was but a youth at the time :-).

Experience

I try and make annual trips to see the Dallas Cowboys every season as my parents live about 15 minutes from Cowboys Stadium in the city of Mansfield, Texas. I have a library of various Dallas Cowboy books, football cards, player photos, DVD's and VHS tapes and have also recorded nearly all games from 1998-2007. I am also an artist, so most of my collections such as cards, photos, or memorabilia are not for value, but rather for reference. I appreciate the visual aesthetics of the Dallas Cowboys and the game of football. As a hobby, I occasionally customize and paint McFarlane Dallas Cowboy figures to near exact detail as their live counterparts. I also own several game used items, autographs, and roughly 12-14 authentic jerseys with 3-4 different manufacturers.

Education/Credentials
Associates of Arts in Liberal Arts, Associates of Arts in Graphic Design, Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts with emphasis in Illustration. My dream would be, of course, to work for the Dallas Cowboys organization possibly for their marketing and design team. The Dallas Cowboys annual bluebooks and game programs have always interested me.
