Question about Dallas Cowboys Ring Of Honor Futures

[sunalsorises]

After being a Cowboy just 5 years? No.

I agree but that is how long Charles Haley was a Cowboy

 

[SuspectCorner]

Ask Stephen. He likely already has the date picked out.

Jerry probably goes in posthumously - so, since he has a date picked out, what’s Stephen’s play here? And what’s he paying to carry out that play? I’m between jobs - just saying.

 

[CowboyChris]

i think a new criteria should be installed, must have played in a championship game.

tex schramm originally wanted to keep it ultra tight.
☆the best of the best
☆had to play your entire career with dallas
☆had to be someone who was a leader in the community...not just on the field

he didn't want it to be all inclusive but very strict.

I would like to nominate Dak for ROH and HOF. It’s time to honor the generational type players before they retire.

 

[MyFairLady]

Meh it's not gonna be a ring of honor for very long. It is going to be a ring of stat compiling losers.

 

[JustChip]

It's all crap until Garrett gets in.

Spot on. Second longest tenured Cowboys coach.

 

[JustChip]

When does Jerry induct himself in?

His family will either after he passes or just before when he’s about to cross that silent sea, but still lucid enough to know.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Locks in the near future:

• Jason Witten
• Tony Romo

Locks in next decade:

• Tyron Smith
• Zack Martin

Witten, Smith and Martin are future NFL HOFers.

MAYBE Dez Bryant? Strong maybe there. His peak was short, but he was a first team all pro and a menace in his prime.

Jerry loves his #88s too.

 

[JoeKing]

To date, the ROH includes twenty-four inductees - twenty being players, the remaining four being coaches Landry and Johnson, GM Tex Schramm and the legendary scouting director Gil Brandt.

The last Cowboys PLAYER inducted was Demarcus Ware, who last wore the team colors in the 2013 season. Eleven seasons ago. Before HIM, Darren Woodson - who last wore the colors in 2003… twenty-one years ago.

Jason Witten, who last wore the colors in 2019, would seem a lock as the NEXT inductee. So, WHEN?

And we can reasonably speculate that Zack Martin will get some ROH run going forward.

Beyond the aforementioned players - who do YOU consider the favorite to merit ROH consideration in the future and why?

The ROH has never been about what the fans think so don't ask them because it doesn't matter. The only opinion that matters when it comes to the ROH is Jerry's as is evident by the far overdue enshrinement of Jimmy Johnson.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Jerry wanted Romo back at the helm, it was Garrett that wanted to stick with Dak.

I always suspected as much. Dak was Garrett's monkey bar to a new contract.

But you know this how?

That was all the scuttlebutt back in the day that Jerry wanted Romo and Garrett did not want to upset the current winning Apple cart.

BULLET!
You forgot Rowdy. BTW, Romo should never get in.

 

[Kingofholland]

No way in hell Romo deserves it. Come on, man. You gotta actually do something special to earn it. Danny White deserves it far more than Romo, and I don't think he should get in either.

You're right if Romo is in, Danny White should be too. I think Romo is in the camp of good Cowboys players that I enjoyed watching but are they historically great?

I do think he gets in for his Cowboys passing records and fact he's a household name for most casual football fans. However, I'm with you I don't know that he did anything historically great where he deserves his name next to the guys like Staubach and Aikman. Also if Romo is in than Dak is surely in too as they've followed very similar career trajectorys to this point.
