The Cowboys "Mount Rushmore"

[pancakeman]

It would be the 4 different faces he has had since he owned the team.

 

[DBOY3141]

New England Patriots: Bob Kraft, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, John Hannah

Baltimore Ravens: Jonathan Ogden, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Ozzie Newsome

Denver Broncos: John Elway, Shannon Sharpe, Floyd Little, Champ Bailey

I would replace Champ on the Bronco's with Terrel Davis.

I would replace Champ on the Bronco's with Terrel Davis.

Bailey's 3 best years were not as good as TD's best 3, but they are close, and he blows him out of the water in terms of longevity (3 All Pro Years and 4 2nd Team)

Bailey's 3 best years were not as good as TD's best 3, but they are close, and he blows him out of the water in terms of longevity (3 All Pro Years and 4 2nd Team)

But he wasn't drafted by the Bronco's and it could be argued that if not for TD, the Bronco's would have no SB wins.

But he wasn't drafted by the Bronco's

Neither was Elway.

 

[Vintage]

I think you have to have Landry and Emmitt and Roger... The fourth is up for debate. But I wouldn't be surprised if Troy was the fourth.

I think the only way you drop Landry is if you opt for a players only approach.

 

[DBOY3141]

Neither was Elway.

But he played his entire career for Bronco's. Bailey didn't.

2 SB rings . 2000 yard rusher, all time team rushing leader bypasses a few pro bowls.

But that's just my opinion.

Good ones.

I might replace Champ with Rod Smith, Red Miller, or Mike Shanahan. Champ is still a Commander to me.

 

[RS12]

At the people that dont understand how dominant Lilly was. Not only his place Cowboy history, but one of the 50 greatest in NFL history. Nothing else needs to be said.

 

[erod]

The Packers:

Lombardi
Starr
Farve
Hornung

Aaron Rodgers might unseat Hornung one day.

 

[DenCWBY]

You beat me to it:


In Jerry's mind, it's:

Jerry Jones
Jerry Jones
Jerry Jones
Jerry Jones

better yet:
Jerry
Stephan
Charlotte
and the little "Spalding" guy cleaning Jerry's glasses.

I understand that man .... was trying to be funny cause a lot of people forget that.

You are correct that he never was actually an employee of the Colts.

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Tom Landry
Bob Lilly
Roger Staubach
Troy Aikman

Wow...you leave off the all time rusher in the NFL? And the heart and soul of those 90s teams...Wow. Anyway, here is my list

Emmit
Landry
Staubach
stuck on the last one...can't decide

 

[Hook'em#11]

Eric Bjornson
Clayton Holmes
Alonzo Spellman
Karreem Lattimore


There ya go....

 

[panchucko]

Sadly, when people think of the Cowboys today outside of here, the only person they think of is Jerry Jones.

Puke.

This is not true, around here (Michigan) when people approach me, about the cowboys they always mention Romo, Ware, Witten and at times DEZ and usually about the defense sucking so much, I think it is just on this board that Jerry is the face of the cowboys.

I'm partial to

It would be the 4 different faces he has had since he owned the team.

More likely it would be 4 different names but all with Jerry's face. :laugh2:

Seriously, thou, it's interesting because if you asked Jerry, he's going to have one answer but if you ask, say Roger, his answer might well be different as well.

For my vote:

Roger Staubach, the most popular Cowboy ever.

Bob Lilly, Mr. Cowboy, the first 1st Rd Draft and the 1st HOFer.

Tom Landry, the Greatest Coach in the history of the Cowboys and one of the Greatest Coaches in the history of the game.

Tex Schramm, everything Coach Landry did on the Football Field, Schramm did with the Franchise to make it what it is today. If Schramm is not the GM, Landry is never hired and he is surely fired before he ever gets a chance to be great.

 

[Tabascocat]

1. Landry-no brainer
2. Roger-another no-brainer
3. Emmitt-can't leave him out
4. Throw a dart and we will likely hit a worthy candidate.

Too tall, Randy, Lilly, Tex, Troy, Irvin, etc, etc.

Does Jimmy get a nod here? He did bring the team back to relevance.

Nice job.
Rickey Jackson could be your fourth Saint.
I hate him as much as the next guy, but surely Donovan McNabb -- or somebody else -- should beat out a kicker who was only with the Eagles for four years (and only made 63%+ FG for one of those years). Actually I'd probably put Brian Westbrook there.
