Can you tell the difference between 1960s NFL quarterbacks and TV cowboys?

Was he on TV or a QB?

 
In the 1960s, millions of American boys dreamed of becoming either a quarterback or a cowboy. Is it any wonder that the Cowboys became "America's team?" 

TV cowboys and NFL QBs had a lot in common. At least, their names sounded similar. 

See if you can spot the difference between a character in a cowboy hat and a professional athlete wearing a helmet.

Try to score in the double digits!

With trivia skills like that, you're ready for the Pro Bowl. Of TV Trivia. If that was a thing.

12 out of 15. Earl Morrall played for the Lions, Giants, and Colts but he also played on the undefeated Miami Dolphins super bowl team.

Got 11/15. Any name I didn't recognize, I chose quarterback. Unfortunately, I don't care for Westerns any more than I care for football.

True fans are still watching. This is not the place for political shots.

Respectfully disagree gatorgirl. It's my opinion that it is the ultimate respect to embrace our freedom of expression to challenge our country to truly be one nation "with liberty and justice for ALL." Anyway, for those who are offended (or who disagree, which of course is your/their right) - just tune in a few minutes late and move on.
