Just because you say something stupid over and over again, doesn’t make it true. Romo outperformed Meredith at literally everything. Try again Boomer.No, he's not. Back at ya, because this one isn't even close. Dandy is in the discussion for #2 w/ Aikman.
Seems like Witten gets that respect though but probably because he's a grinder at tight end.It's because he was the epitome of grinder. Emmit didn't have long speed, wasn't flashy in the least. What Emmit did was get positive yards more than any RB in history. Emmit = Witten. Same player. They're the guys that move the chains and keep the O on the field. The ones people don't appreciate.
Then they never looked at Roger Staubach play and what he did.
The entire philosoohy behind a 3-4 defense is the mystery that surrounds the 4th pass rusher.You are really judging Ware on INTs? He was a pass rusher. One of the best the game has ever seen. Putting him in pass coverage more than once in a blue moon would have been malpractice.
Sanders wasn't a Cowboy, he was a rental.I know Deion Sanders wasnt a popular player for some people in Dallas. But to not put him in this list is ridiculous.
Seems more like the list of the "10 most popular Cowboys" rather then greatest.
You’re being a little silly, they are both first ballot HOFers and arguably the two most accomplished DTs not only in Cowboys history but NFL history. They both were 1st team All-Pro 7 times, think about that. Quibbling about one of them being 2 and the other 4 is silly.Love me some manster, but ahead of Bob Lilly? Lilly was a man amongst boys.
Deion is one of the greatest Cowboys ever, no matter how mad you get about it. And playing here for five years, which is just as long as his Atlanta stint, means that he was actually at his best as a Cowboy. And lol @ 5 years being a rental.Sanders wasn't a Cowboy, he was a rental.
The greatest Cowboys refer to the players that impacted the Cowboys the most. It doesn't matter what Deiom did for his other 4 teams.
I must agree, you have to include Mel Renfro, the Cowboys all time defensive playmaker #1 in Cowboy interceptions.
I
Chuck Howley made game changing plays in championship games. He had interceptions and fumbles returned for TD's or long gains in playoff games. When we talk about greatness, regular season games are just qualifying matches, save for a few iconic moments.
Well, you made sure to spell Lilly right, but you misspelled Emmitt.Lilly*
My all-time top 10 is:
1. Roger
2. Emmett
3. Larry Allen
4. Randy
5. Bob
6. DeMarcus
7. Michael Irvin
8. Troy/Tony (insert your fave of those 2 here and don't at me lol)
9. Mel Renfro
10. Tony Dorsett
Dallas so many greats it's insane the guys you leave off.
Deion went wherever someone was willing to pay him more. He didn't care about having the star on his helmet. Yes, he played as a Cowboy, but when someone other than a Cowboys fan looks at him, they only think of him as a former Cowboy if they root for a rival team.Deion is one of the greatest Cowboys ever, no matter how mad you get about it.

So in other words he was a typical free agent...Deion went wherever someone was willing to pay him more. He didn't care about having the star on his helmet.

I'm not sure I'd call him typical, but he was definitely a merc, or a Ronin, if you prefer.So in other words he was a typical free agent...
I think by now most non-Cowboy NFL fans think of him as a Falcon and/or a Cowboy with a slight lean towards Cowboys because of recency.
He went into the HOF as a bandanna, technically. This ain’t baseball.I'm not sure I'd call him typical, but he was definitely a merc, or a Ronin, if you prefer.
But I, like many others, don't consider him a Cowboy, simply because it's not really what he's known for. I think he went into the HoF as a Falcon.
