For the really old timers, who was the third receivers for Hayes and Rentzel?
WOW - although it was a different game then, these new guys, if they aren't already and it's arguable, that they certainly can be as good!!!!Is this the best WR trio in Cowboys history: Cooper, Cobb, Gallup?
Better than Galloway, Glenn, Bryant? TO, Glenn, Crayton? Irvin, Harper, KMart?

Butch Johnson was there part of the time, but I don't think there were many years where they were together at or near the top of their game. I think Butch Johnson's best years were about the time Pearson was fading near the end of his career.Who was the 3rd WR with Pearson and Hill?
I'll pick the one who actually played with them: Johnson. Richards caught 17 passes in Hill's rookie season before he left for (was traded to?) the Bears.Golden Richards. Or Butch Johnson. Take your pick.
Galloway, Glenn, Bryant? WTH Did ANY of these guys play TOGETHER?
I know , I meant Hayes and Alworth/ Rentzel. ThanksHayes, Alworth and Rentzel weren't on the same team. Rentzel was traded to the Rams in the 1971 offseason, and that's when Alworth came to Dallas. They both wore #19.
Drew and or Preston...Who was the 3rd WR with Pearson and Hill?
I might vote for Drew Pearson, Tony Hill and Butch Johnson as the best trio in Cowboys historyIs this the best WR trio in Cowboys history: Cooper, Cobb, Gallup?

Butch Johnson's stats
1976 5 catches 84 yards, 2 TDs
1977 12 catches 135 yards, 1 TD
1978 12 catches 155 yards
1979 6 catches 105 yards 1 TD
1980 19 catches 263 yards 4 TDs
1981 25 catches 552 yards 5 TDs
1982 12 catches 269 yards 3 TDs(only 8 games that year so these stats are actually really solid)
1983 44 catches 561 yards, 3 TDs
Now his numbers the last 3/4 years were pretty good overall. But before then he was a scrub for the most part. I think people remember him because he did have the "catch" in the Super Bowl that shouldn't have been called that. And he had a TD in the Super Bowl against Pittsburgh but he really didn't put up good numbers till Danny White took over.
Preston Pearson had more catches than Butch most of these years.
I'll still take Pearson, Hill, Butch Johnson, & Doug Cosbie.Is this the best WR trio in Cowboys history: Cooper, Cobb, Gallup?

Waaaayyyyyy too soon to ask this question.Is this the best WR trio in Cowboys history: Cooper, Cobb, Gallup?

Honest question, why are you asking this question so soon?
True but in most of those years we would throw it to Preston Pearson as a wide out more than we would Butch Johnson. Yes in some of that particularly 77 Preston got passes on screens as a RB since he did play that a lot. But by 79 he moved to WR pretty much full time.You need to remeber that in the 70's and 80's you did not see as many 3 wide receiver sets as you do today and a 50-60 catch season was considered fantastic so being a 3rd receiver was not going to get you many looks in a game also back then receivers got mauled by defenders, rules were not the same as today
