Can't be quarterback: name one Cowboy player from the past you would put on this current team

[dckid]

Witten.

Stop already.

 

[Whirlwin]

Yeah but why replace Randy Gregory when you could replace Connor Williams with the greatest offensive lineman of all time or Biadiscz with the best center in franchise history?

I thought we were adding, not replacing

 

[Whirlwin]

Can I give 100 likes to this and Emmit Smith??

Emmett did not do too well once he left us. Charles Haley would be my vote, but yeah Dion would be right there

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I'm trying to avoid the endless Dak debates, though I might just be fooling myself. So, you can't pick Staubach, Aikman or any other Cowboys quarterback. Aside from that, which past Cowboy player and his position would you team with this offense or defense.

Me? It's a tie between Charles Haley, Erik Williams, Larry Allen and Emmitt Smith.

I gotta go Emmitt Smith. His durability, reliability and productivity at the running back position would make us a better balanced team and even more dangerous offensively. I'm okay with the pass rush, and although I'd take an upgrade on the offensive line, I think we can get by with the line we have, provided Tyron Smith returns.
However, the lack of a running game concerns me. And I believe we'll have to lean more on that in the playoffs.

But that's my take. What's yours?

Larry Allen.

Imagine Smith, Allen, biadas, Martin and Collins on the OL....that would be a nasty group.

second choice, Woodson to solidify the back 4.....

third choice, Charles Haley.......

He was mid 30s

 

[Whirlwin]

He was mid 30s

He had a private masseuse he was healthy as ever. He didn’t have an offense of line. And that’s no disrespect to Emmett. It’s any running back

Huh? There was no flaw in Emmits game.

 

[TheDude]

Hutchinson, leaf, Wright, stoerner, Jeff Blake, etc were the QBs once the millennium turned. He left at 34, broke a shoulder blade yr 1 away and ran for 930yds and 9tds at 35...with AZ ... in 2004.

 

[lopey]

Randy white

 

[J_Allen]

LA... I put him on any Cowboys team because he could start on any Cowboys team and any NFL team for that matter from now until football is no longer played.

Uhhh, you do realize that by the time Emmitt went to Arizona he had already been in Dallas for 13 seasons, right? He should have already been retired by then, so of course he didn't do so well when he left.

 

[Whirlwin]

Uhhh, you do realize that by the time Emmitt went to Arizona he had already been in Dallas for 13 seasons, right? He should have already been retired by then, so of course he didn't do so well when he left.

That’s what I’m saying

 

[Whirlwin]

homers. Sweetness best running back to ever touch a football

 

[Whirlwin]

Uhhh, you do realize that by the time Emmitt went to Arizona he had already been in Dallas for 13 seasons, right? He should have already been retired by then, so of course he didn't do so well when he left.

So if you could choose one guy to add to this team right now you would take Emmett I’m taking Charles Haley

 

[darthseinfeld]

Thats cool. Emmitt was the best too.

Jim Brown over Emmitt Smith was a bad take.

Well I explained my position

You didnt explain why you Moss was better than Rice. Im done with Brown/Smith. I want to hear about how Moss is better Rice. This is gonna be epic

 

[CATCH17]

Because Randy Moss on his best day is the best WR that’s ever played and it’s not close.

 

[Jimbo69]

Jimmy Johnson.

 

[Whirlwin]

I was a huge Walter Payton fan, but I think I really liked Barry Sanders more. Imagine how dominant he would have been if he had the luxury of an O'line like Emmitt had.



No disrespect to Emmitt, but Barry Sanders would be my pick. He would make Zeke look like an miniscule amateur.

It’s hard to say anything against Emmitt Smith, he is worshiped here. But yes I’ll take Barry I’ll take sweetness I’ll take Earl Campbell I’ll take Riggins before him.

 

[Whirlwin]

Because Randy Moss on his best day is the best WR that’s ever played and it’s not close.

I still have to give that to Jerry Rice. Randy moss isn’t even close to the same class
