Tony Hill starting over Bob Hayes and Drew Pearson?

Interesting how ridiculously stacked that 53 is overall yet there are some weak spots like Chad Hennings. Did he even make a Pro Bowl?

Picking a top 53 would be as tough as top 10
We’ve had a super players at many positions

It’s hard to argue with this list, but to nitpick I would put Cornell Green over Roy Williams at safety because of his longevity in addition to his excellence at several positions in the defensive backfield.

If they played in the same era RW31 would have been All-Pro every year LOL.
And I don't mean speed/size of generation I mean ruleset.
Cornell Green played in an era where you could rip heads off and RW31 did that so much they outlawed it.

Morons.

Erik Williams was the best OT in Cowboys history. The best in NFL history according to John Madden...

Erik was def better than Mark Tuinei.
I do not think he was better than the listed starters.
But he was a top RT of all-time at his peak to be sure.
But longevity may factor in here.

The guy that doesn't make it for me is Bill Bates... unless you designate a ST spot.
Bill was good on defense but never great. This list is about greatness.

Another swap out I'd make is Jay Ratliff off for LaRoi Glover.
Jay was an insanely good late round pick that elevated to great but his issues caused a massive cap bomb and really hurt this team which limits how I view hjm. --and remains a big reason I hate credit card style cap mgmt.

I have a lot more issues with the offense than defense.

Danny White is a better QB than Tony Romo.

I would take Dorsett over Elliott.

Terrell Owens over Bryant
Bob Hayes over Tony Hill.

Novacek over Witten

Billy Joe Dupree was so underrated.

I'd take Mark Stepnoski over Travis Frederick.

Kevin Gogan over Andre Gurode

Erik Williams over Neely. Before his injury Williams may have been the best OT the Cowboys have ever had, especially against Reggie White. :laugh:

What is Dexter Coakley doing as the backup to Demarcus Ware?

Bill Bates as a backup CB? Just no. Bates was a special teams guy and maybe a safety but not CB.

This selection of players seems to be biased towards the guys who played more recently.

Fun stuff
And wow...eye-popping talent and depth across the board

I'd for sure start certain guys over others, but whatever.
Not going to hyperventilate over an all-in-good-fun harmless list in the offseason.
