Who are your top 5 Cowboys of all time?

[Cboyfan4ever]

Staubach
Tony Dorsett
Troy Aikman
Emmitt Smith
Irvin/Pearson tied

And I agree with the above poster. No ring, no go. And that is unfortunate for Woodson, Romo, Ware and many others. Since Jerry took full control - NONE.

Woodson has 3 rings which makes it more inconceivable that he’s not in the Hall along w/ many other Cowboys.

Tony Dorsett
Roger Staubach

I'm not old enough to have seen Lilly, Hayes, etc. so they didn't make my list

I'm putting Woodson in at 5

Frankly i prefer commenting on players that i have actually had a chance seeing play,..
(sorry Bob Lily, Bob Hayes, and Mel Renfro)

And i prefer to direct favorites to " Grass Root " cowboys players - those who were original Cowboys here from the start.

- Michael Irvin
- Emmitt Smith
- Erik Williams
- Larry Allen
- Demarcus Ware

It is funny how often some members, including me, find it so difficult posting an opinion for questions like these that we do not follow the directions or post anything related to the question.

 

[quickccc]

I don't disagree. I think he was good. he did have White's number, but didn't play at that level long enough, I know because of an accident, but doesn't matter.

btw, this also gives your age away, as your list included more recent player and yes you had Roger, but Roger is Cowboy God and every knows Roger.

it does/did matter to me, ..Erik Williams domination was Not only Reggie White,.. but also Michael Strahan as well.

That's the domination of not just one ..but 2 NFL Hall of Fame DEs.
