It just depends. Murray was only a Cowboy for four years. Zeke only three years. Duane was awesome, but his two seasons in Dallas was essentially Zeke's rookie year (1600 yds 16 TD). The top two RBs are obvious. 3-5 are challenging and very subjective.Where do you consider the cutoff to be?
I agree. He has had a solid three years. It will take a lot for him to crack the top 3/4. Romo and Dandy Don were pretty good... Obviously if he wins an MVP or Super Bowl he cracks the top 3. But Tony and Don were pretty solid for about a decade. It's going to take Dak to have 8-10 solid years to even be discussed. And that's not a shot at Dak. This is just a franchise that has two HOF QBs and will probably have four in it's Ring of Honor. A few more solid seasons and he passes Danny White in my opinion.Agree
I think Dak is a clear 6th or 7th with an opportunity to keep moving up.
Thats pretty good after only 3 years
Hope he keeps rising for the current team’s and fans sake!
Still does not mean it's an accurate measure of ability.pro bowls are about recognition among your peers and coaches outside of your own team, it speaks volume and means much to players
to being voted in it's awards.
I could argue where you have them ranked per position, but really enjoyed your list. We have been blessed with some amazing football talent.My All-time Cowboys Players Top 5 Ranking list (per position unit)

What Jimmy accomplished is extremely rare in professional sports.
He took a team with extremely minimal talent and built it into a team that won 2 SBs in his 5 years and another one with his players.
Most coaches that have early success inherited drastically more overall talent than what Jimmy had to work with.
Jimmy 2 SB wins in 5 years.
Landry 2 SB wins in 29 years.
Jimmy had to work for Jerry; otherwise he would have had 4 SBs in 7 years instead of 2 in 5.Landry got hozed by the refs in Super Bowl 13 and hozed by the refs in the 1981 NFC Championship.
