Nominate the Best Cowboys' 4-3 LB Since 1990

[SFloridaCowboy]

1. Ken Norton, Landry's last 2nd rounder, out of UCLA in 1988. He should not have been allowed to leave as a free agent. He was fast and tough. Son of former heavyweight boxing champion. Came with Michael Irvin who was #1 in 1988, the first great two top draft picks hits by Tom Landry since 1975.

2. Sean Lee

3. Dat Ngyuen

Most talented LB who could not last long: Bruce Carter
LB's been drafted a lot in 2nd round since 1990

 

[JohnsKey19]

Randall Godfrey is somewhere among that top 3.

 

[MarkP88]

No question, Norton.

Robert Jones wasn't bad.

 

[John813]

I can't argue that top 3/ranking.

Carter, athletically was everything you wanted in a modern LB. Just couldn't get the instinct to match.

Chuck Howley
Lee Roy Jordan
Ken Norton Jr.

Sean Lee. Not even close.

Chuck Howley
Lee Roy Jordan
Ken Norton Jr.
D.D. Lewis
Bob Bruenig
Dat Ngyuen

I'm all for Chuck Howley, but he 54 years old in 1990

 

[Jarntt]

Funny you pick 1990. Our LBers weren't bad that year: Norton, Lockhart and Del Rio

 

[Aven8]

Rolondo McClain. No one was better than him. It was brief but it was awesome

Ken Norton Jr was an absolute force, size and speed was insane. That goaline stand in that 92 superbowl was a statement that broke the bills

Sean Lee couldve been better if his body held up, guy was a super computer of deciphering plays and QBs, his rookie year was insane with his picks.

Rolondo McClain. No one was better than him. It was brief but it was awesome

This, the purple dranker was a d— beast.

May have not been the best but always liked watching Dat Nguyen. Flew around and smacked people. Think he was underrated by a lot in the league.

Norton and not to close.

 

[JPM]

He wasn't the best, but I loved watching Darin Smith play.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Lee is the smartest Cowboy I ever watched (I’m only 35). I think I feel worse for him than anyone that his body just wouldn’t hold up. He did everything right on and off the field to have a HOF career had he not been hurt all the time

 

[Kolemmitt]

For one year? LVE would be on that list. Unfortunately, injuries robbed us of that version of LVE.
