If at one time the Dallas Cowboys were America's Team, Roger
Staubach was America's Quarterback. Roger the Dodger was a
real-life embodiment of apple pie, world championships, and role
models. Staubach was a Heisman Trophy winner at Annapolis who
served four years as a naval officer before going on to a stellar
eleven-year career with the Dallas Cowboys that included four NFC
championships and two Super Bowl titles. Considered the master of
the two-minute offense and late-game comeback, Staubach eventually
earned a spot in the Cowboys' illustrious Ring of Honor and,
ultimately in 1985, the Pro Football Hall of Fame.If ever there was
a perfect meshing of franchise, coach, and on-field leader, it was
the silver-white-and-blue Cowboys of the seventies with Tom Landry
strolling the sidelines in his trademark fedora and the unflappable
Staubach barking signals. He led the NFL in passing five times, and
when he retired at age thirty-seven he departed the game in
possession of the highest quarterback rating of all time. After his
retirement from football, he pretty much left the game behind,
forsaking a shot at coaching or television commentary to focus his
energies on the corporate world as chairman and CEO of the Staubach
Company, a diversified commercial real estate company.Roger
Staubach: Captain America is an oral history of Staubach's life,
times, and career. It is told in the words of dozens of former
teammates and opponents, friends, business associates, civic
leaders, acquaintances, and others who have known him over the
years. Staubach turned sixty in 2002, and this book offers a
touching and telling testimonial to a true American hero and role
model.
