Impossible question since there are more than 5 greatest to play for the Cowboys franchise.

The exact reason I have not replied in this thread before now.

60's-Merideth
70's-Staubach
80's-D White
90's-E Smith
2000-2009-Romo
2010-Present-Romo but Dez could win out.

I love Tony Dorsett as much as the next guy. He is one of my personal favorites but I can't put him in the top five. He's really not even the best running back in team history. With all due respect of course.

Dorsett is the reason I became a Cowboys fan. And as much as he's my favorite Cowboy, he's not in the top 5.

 

[JJB500]

Bob Lilly
Larry Allen
Emmitt Smith
Roger Staubach
Michael Irvin

Erik Williams makes the list if he never had his accident in 1994!

2000-2009 Romo over Ware?

 

[LucaBrasi]

Lilly
Staubach
Smith
Allen
White

Honorable Mention: Darren Woodson. Emobodied everything I'd want from a Cowboy. Great leader, great teammate, great player. Played hurt and played well for a ton of seasons. Why even have a Ring of Honor if it does not include the player that has more tackles than anyone that has ever worn the uniform?

Whoever decided to limit this list to 5 is a sadist...

 

[CowboyGil]

Mr. Cowboy, Bob Lilly
Captain America, Roger Staubach
The Rushing Champion, Emmitt Smith
The NFL's Strongest man, Larry Allen
The Manster, Randy White

Pretty dang good list right there.

This is TOO Hard, and its gets even harder if you include Landry (or any non players) Someone will be left off that deserves to be there. I will say this, and I dont want to ridicule anyones picks, but
Ware, Romo, and Witten (and I love them all) should not be in the top 5. To me the only people that can be in this discussion are:

Aikman, Staubach, Emmitt, Irving, Bob Lilly, Randy White, Dorsett, Larry Allen, Woodson, Meridith.

2000-2009 Romo over Ware?

Anyone that wants to put ware over Romo gets no argument from me. I just feel Romo had more of an impact then Ware. Mostly because of position, but remember, between Aikman and Romo was crap at QB.
