Ware
Dez
Tyron

 

[jobberone]

Lilly
Staubach
White
Renfro
Wright

 

[rd26]

Lilly
Staubach

If you don't include coaches I would probably sneak wright or LA on the list.

Dodger
Pearson
Tony D
Irvin/Smith/Aikman (Package deal)

[Dallas_Cowboys50]

I was 9, 10 and 12 in our 90's SB's so of course......

Aikman
Irvin
Emmitt

and then even though I never saw him play, but for our history's sake....

Staubach

and from the last 15 years.....

Witten

 

[StoneyBurk]

1. Landry
2. Lilly
3.Staubach
4.White
5. Allen

 

[Cowboys_22]

Hayes
Staubach
Dupree
Dorsett
Smith

 

[Jake]

Top 5 players? Tough call.

Lilly, Staubach, Emmitt, Aikman, and about a dozen other guys.

 

[Killerinstinct]

Landry
Staubach
Lilly
Emmitt
Dorsett

 

[JJHLH1]

Staubach
Aikman
Lilly
Irvin
Smith

 

[lukin2006]

Roger
E. Smith
T.Aikman
Witten
Haley

 

[TheHerd]

Tough to make a list of 5

Landry
Lily
Staubach
Aikman
Emmitt

 

[BAT]

Putting Landry on list is just weird. No one mentions Lombardi for top Packers or Papa Bear Halas with Bears. Cowboys fans are just strange like this.

Best 5 Cowboys Players All-Time:

Roger Staubach
Emmitt Smith
Bob Lilly
Randy White
Michael Irvin

Next 5:

Mel Renfro
Tony Dorsett
Larry Allen
Troy Aikman
Bob Hayes

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Top 5 Cowboys players IMO (in no particular order):
Lilly
White
Emmitt
Roger
Witten

I think each can make a case for best ever at their respective positions

 

[Dalmations202]

My top 5 Players:
Bob Lilly
Roger Staubach
Bob Hayes
Emmitt Smith
--- these 4 are easy for me.
Randy White

----------------
But I am not sure how I left
Larry Allen
Rayfield Wright
Michael Irvin
Troy Aikman
Jason Witten
Harvey Martin
Drew Pearson
Eric Williams
out of the top 5 - they all deserve it, and I could make an argument for any of them.
