reddogblitz Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 No one going to mention Steve Deberg? The ultimate backup. This reminds me of another one. Jim Zorn. Traded by Dallas as part of the Tony Dorsett deal. Was 3rd string in Dallas. Seahawks were an expansion team and did get to playoffs with Zorn. He is in their Ring of Honor. The Steve Deberg connection is that the Cowboys had in camp the year before Roger Staubach, Danny White, Jim Zorn, and Steve Deberg. Jim beat out Steve and was traded the next year.
Sisyphean Bills Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 This reminds me of another one. Jim Zorn. Traded by Dallas as part of the Tony Dorsett deal. Was 3rd string in Dallas. Seahawks were an expansion team and did get to playoffs with Zorn. He is in their Ring of Honor. The Steve Deberg connection is that the Cowboys had in camp the year before Roger Staubach, Danny White, Jim Zorn, and Steve Deberg. Jim beat out Steve and was traded the next year. DeBerg was drafted by the Cowboys in the 12th round of the '77 draft but was the 2nd QB they took in that draft. They also took Glenn Carano in the 2nd round. Carano made the team as the 3rd string QB, and DeBerg went on to San Francisco. Jim Zorn had already signed as a free agent with the Seahawks in '76.
