How did I forget Landry. But I don't know who I would take off
When this topic comes up which is pretty often most fans think of just the players.
How did I forget Landry. But I don't know who I would take off
I'm sticking with Tom Landry, Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly and Emmitt Smith. That's my Mount Rushmore
It is somewhat of a dilemma, the Cowboys may have outgrown Mount Rushmore
Lilly and Randy White, 7 times all pro. Larry Allen, 6. Chuck Howley, 5.Feel this is right....i think if you select Cowboys for this, it is not so much how talented the player was....but what it did for the franchise. So its not just about his play. Landry, Staubach, Lilly and Emmitt define the Cowboys franchise. There are a few others as well but that could be top 4.
I thought this would be interesting. Top 4 Cowboys of all time. Probably changes depending on when you grew up. I'm an old guy so some players from earlier are included
-Roger Staubach
-Bob Lilly
-Randy White
-Emmitt Smith
So many worthy players. What say you?
Tom Landry goes on my mountain.
no way.Staubach
Irvin
Emmitt
Aikman
Lilly and White were great in their day, but time marches on, today's offenses would handle those two adequately.
No it shouldn't. If the Eagles had ever had an iconic coach like Landry, you'd understand.Putting non-players in only muddles the exercise. Because a perfectly logically group is Clint Murchison for creating the team, Tex Shramm for overseeing decades of success, Tom Landry for coaching said decades, and Gil Brandt for acquiring all of those players. And then 5 is Jimmy Johnson.
But that’s the most boring list one could come up with. Should be relegated to players only
