  • This is the best Tony Dorsett film on You Tube for the most underrated great running back in football history. Tough, strong for his size, and lightning fast...and, yes, Darrell Green DID have an angle (for those who know).

    AAh, being a cowboy fan in the 70's was the best. Nothing like 70's NFL football. Dorsett and Staubach, my 2 favorites of all time!

      My Packers in the 70's sucked so bad I got hooked on the Cowboys!! The entire 70's teams were filled with heroes pulling rabbits out of the hat in clutch situations!! Golden Richards dive in the end zone, Ed "Too Tall" Jones with a sack, Cliff Harris with an INT, Roger Staubach with 4th and goal and 4 seconds to go TD, and then TD and all his magic!! I hate the Cowboys now with Jerry Jones, the those years in the 70's were dreams come true!! Sort of Like Sugar Ray Leonard in the 80's, just when you thought there was no way in hell they could win, they pulled it out!!

    Growing up we had a front row seat to watch some of the best running backs in the NFL. And not to take anything away from the Cambells, the Paytons, Foremans, Simpson, Sims, the Dickersons. They were all great in their own right. But the one player who exemplified excitement, speed, and smoothness, was none. other than T.D. Tony Dorsett. I wouldnt miss a Cowboys game during his career. The only player to win an NCAA Championship, and a Superbowl back to back. Elected to College Football Hall of Fame, The Pro Football Hall of Fame. What a pure joy it was to watch this man run. Everytime he touched the ball, you were disappointed if he didnt get a touchdown. He was nothing but excitement.

    I remember my older brother always telling me about TD and Billy Sims. Billy was another Heisman Trophy winner and was on his way to becoming a HOF'er when he suffered a horrible knee injury in the middle of his prime, what a shame. The year he won the Heisman for Oklahoma In 1978, he rushed for 1,762 yards on 231 carries at an insane clip of 7.6 yards per carry and 20 TDs. He ran for over 5000 yards in only 60 NFL games at 4.5 yards a carry. But my brother always said Tony Dorsett was the most underrated RB out of the all timers who played full careers. I think Billy would have been up there as well. And yes its the same Billy Sims who owns the BBQ restaurant chain.

    I wasn't a Dallas Cowboys fan. But the main reason why enjoyed watching them on TV was to simply watch #33 if he would break one for a big run. It was beautiful watching TD burn defenses when he was feeling it. Tom Landry was a great coach, but he greatly limited TDs running production to no more than up to the 20 times a game according to sports critics. My most favorite running backs in no order - Tony Dorsett, Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders, Earl Campbell, Walter Payton, John Riggins & Emmit Smith. I struggle with finding great RBs today. Adrian Peterson is a great running back too.

    I'm from Dallas, but moved to Thousand Oaks in 1970. As a small child, I went to several Cowboy's games when they played in the Cotton Bowl in the early 1960s. Dallas had their summer camps at California Lutheran College in TO. I remember following a preseason work out, Lee Roy Jordan struck up a conversation with my Dad, and we all ended up going to the McDonald's down the street from Cal Lu for dinner. He was a real nice guy, very down to Earth. Tony Dorsett was a once in a generation athlete. His exceleration through the hole was something else. He played the game in a higher gear than almost anyone else.

    A highly underrated running back and think he won a Super Bowl as a rookie in 1977. He is very explosive on his feet but he does have the ability to cut sideways and accelerate quickly as he sees the hole. An agile athlete with exceptional vision and elusivity which makes him crafty. He can catch the ball out of the backfield and is dangerous on open space. No one realizes how good Tony Dorsett really is even though he is undersized but strong and shifty in breaking tackles and displaying speed.

    Tony Dorsett? Underrated? ONLY by people who aren't old enough to have seen him play...and these days, anyone who played before 1990 is "underrated" to let ya'll tell it. Trust me, to those of us who were AROUND at the time, there was NOTHING underrated about him...especially to us REDSKINS fans. Dorsett played when RB talent across the league was probably the best its ever been (late 70s - mid 80s): Payton, Ottis Anderson, WIlliam Andrews, Marcus Allen, Riggins, Campbell, George Rogers, Joe Delaney, Joe Cribbs, CHuck Muncie, Wilbert Montgomery, Billy Simms, Eric Dickerson, Mike Pruitt, etc. And with all those names, Dorsett was still recognized as being one of the elite 2 or 3 RBs in the league for a good chunk of that time.
