If the Cowboys are going to do it this way they should consider doing something similar to the Yankees where in their Monument Park they have a special section with their immortal players honored with large red granite blocks. This is considered the highest honor of all and only 6 Yankees have been so recognized: Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, and owner George Steinbrenner.

The current Cowboys ROH is too arbitrary. Darren Woodson is in, but Jimmy Johnson isn't.

Interesting concept, and while we are the Yankees of football, not sure we have the people to make that decision.

They retire numbers, we give them to other guys who might not deserve them.

Perhaps you are the one who needs reading comprehension lessons.

I said for other teams around the league that have similar institutions. The Steelers, who do not have one, are not included there.

And do you know how many jerseys the Cowboys have retired? I'll give you a hint - it rhymes with zero.

Teams have different ways of honoring their great players. Some have a Ring of Honor, some have a museum, some retire jerseys. The institution is the honor itself not the method used to carry it out.

It's a fact that the Steelers are much more selective than the Cowboys when it comes to honoring players. Even if you make the HOF there is a good chance you won't be honored if you were a Steeler. That makes it more meaningful.

Late to the party, sorry. We are also late to doing something like that, although I know what your saying.

And if they are then the romo era is erased forever

More of the Jerry screw up era, got lucky with Romo undrafted and still couldn't capitalize on it.

We are better now but everyone needs to stop blaming Romo for a past that was alot more than him to blame.

Well he needs to get into game shape in case he is called on. I don't think in the middle of the playoffs is a good time to find out if he is ready or not.
in what universe has Sanchez been getting more recent live activity? Sanchez wasn't even being treated like a one in the preseason before being cut lose.

Romo now has to prove he is more capable to backup then Sanchez? wow. this fan base

He could....no rule you can't have three QB's active.....although if you want to rest other key players it makes it harder.

This isn't the same kind of club. The Cowboys led by Prescott and Elliott will most certainly play in the Conference Championship game. Count on it.

Seriously hope you're right.

My nightmare is losing in the first round to none other than the Giants. Losing in the first round would have my devastated as is but to the Giants may completely cause me to go AWOL from sports until March.

lol. The Giants are always dangerous. You are very wise to fear them. The Cowboys are the best Club in the
NFC. Don't be fooled by all the baloney about Seattle or Green bay the Cowboys are better club Maybe, maybe Atlanta can give them a game...but not before the Conference Championship!! The Giants will lose before they meet the Cowboys!! Fear No Team!

Yeah we shouldn't be scared of anyone. Zeke gets to play the whole, I mean, the whole game.

We shouldn't be scared.

Love Dak and love the future we are going to have with him at the QB position.

But frankly, I hope Tony gets in this game and lights it up.

Well what I really hope is he lights it up and Jerry puts him on the Jones retirement "I got a helicopter plan'.

Maybe thats just me though, but having him there would make me smile for like....ever.

SO insanely wrong. Zeke shouldn't play at all. Nothing left to prove and we need him at 100% for the real games in January. DMC and Morris are more than capable.

Was talking playoffs, up to me, he wouldn't play at all against Philly.
