Favorite PRE 90's player?

[bigE79]

I find it very hard to believe that I will ever love a player as much as I did Staubach.

 

[irvin88]

Eugene "Hitting Machine" Lockhart !

 

[big dog cowboy]

Herschel Walker

Why?

Trading him lead to three more championships.

Who is your favorite pre 90's player? I was talking with a client today about the state of the game and we got totalking about some of the greats who played before the REAL big money started to flow. So I thought I would ask.

My all time favorite is Lee Roy Jordan closely followed by Bob Lilly.

Staubach

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Dorsett, Too Tall Jones, and Herschel. Danny White is probably next on the list after those three.

 

[slick325]

Tony D and Everson Walls (despite giving up "The Catch" as a rookie).

Loved Tony D...truth be told I liked him better than Emmitt and would love to see what he could have did with the team Emmitt had.

However I must confess that I am shocked there isn't much love being given to the Manster.

I'm surprised as well. Randy White was great for a very long time. Plus, he's a fellow Terp alum.

I think because he gets so much love now, people want to throw out different names.

My favorite pre-90's players of all time (all teams in the NFL included) are: Randy White, Tony Dorsett and Roger tie for #1, with Robert Newhouse and Earl Campbell being tied for #2.

Tony Dorsett hands down. He was amazing the way he made people miss. It seemed like every single game he would have one of those "whoa" runs that just took your breath away.

I also really liked Dennis Thurman and Michael Downs...Downs was just so athletic and too bad he came at the tail end of the dynasty because he was really a good player.

 

[dogunwo]

Tony Hill! Thrill Hill. Dial 80. Whatever you want to call him. He's the reason I became a Cowboys fan. Some of the fondest memories of my early days as a Cowboy fan were seeing him do his Wings of Victory celebration after he scored. The most underrated wide receiver in Dallas Cowboys history.

Thats a very underrated celebration, pure passion and emotion when he did that.

 

[VA Cowboy]

My era was Staubach, Dorsett, Pearson, R. White, Too Tall.

It's hard to pick just one, but it'd have to be Roger.

 

[jaybird]

If you held a gun to my head it would be Staubach. Roger was great guy, Navy, family man etc. Could carry a team and one of the great come from behind QB's of all time. Randy White very close second, till this day we have not had another player on defense dominate like he did. Fun fun to watch.
Never seen Lilly play.

 

[Champsheart]

Tony Dorsett

 

[JJB500]

Tony D, Bob Hayes and Hollywood Henderson, in no particular order.

 

[coach316]

Roger Staubach and Tom Landry is what brought me to the Cowboys.

Randy White became my all-time favorite Cowboy. Followed closely by Roger, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, and Harvey Martin

 

[fortdick]

Skoal, brother.

That was Garrison.
