The rules for what a d-back can and can't do in coverage have changed a lot since Staubach's day.It's funny - you look back now at some of those stats- Staubach/Bradshaw - even Elway and Montana- I would bet that their stats would pale to 80% of current starting QB's. And outside of Mahomes- would you take any of the current guys over the 4 I mentioned.
It wasn’t even that long ago that things changed. Remember those clips from the Colts - Patriots AFC Championship a while back where the Patriots DB was practically tackling the WR within the first five yards?The rules for what a d-back can and can't do in coverage have changed a lot since Staubach's day.

dang- look at our own team in 2006 and how our defense legally put almost every QB we faced out of the game...It wasn’t even that long ago that things changed.
