Such was the case at D.C. Stadium (now RFK) on Nov. 28, 1965. The Cowboys jumped out to a 21-0 lead, and chants of “WE WANT SHINER” resonated through the stadium from fans who wanted the ineffective Jurgensen benched for backup Dick Shiner.

Im sure that name caused a few locker room jabs!!

If Dick Shiner is unsigned at the moment, maybe we can bring him in for a workout and sign him to a vet minimum contract. Could it be that big a step down?

:yeahright
