You have to pick one Cowboy and no other

[john van brocklin]

Seen a few of these types of threads while we wait for the draft and new season.

So here is my simple question - Who is your favorite Dallas Cowboy of all-time?

No diplomatic lists, no I used to pick this person and now I go with this player.

Point blank, who is your single favorite player, the legend of legends that you saw play?

——————————————

For me, Troy Aikman.

Never met a Super Bowl he couldn’t win. Leader on and off the field. No nonsense.

Roger the Dodger, and its not even close...

Those are some great pics.

The one with Emmitt retiring and holding his helmet one last time and Roger the Dodger’s skills in full profile. Imagine if he could have played in today’s league.

 

[ryanbabs]

Close for me between Aikman and Irvin. Irvin was such a spark plug for those teams.

 

[75boyz]

My story begins and ends with Roger.
The reason I watch football.
Nobody has even come close to that Cowboy.

ALL are distant seconds imo.

Don’t forget about Charles Haley. He was the final piece in the 90’s. He is was that 1 Player away , all in type

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Roger Staubach. He was the leader of this team when I became a fan. No lead was too great for him to come back in.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Player: Roger Staubach

Coach: Tom Landry

Owner: Jerry Jones*

*: runs for cover!

Michael Irvin - hands down

-Not only was Irvin an extraordinary playmaker, .. but he also an extraordinary leader.

-Darryl Johnson said in a America's Game doc, that when the team went into an lull or emotional slump, Irvin was always the one
to pull the team together - and teammates just fed off his energy and emotional inspirations.

-Woodson also in the same documentary said Irvin set the tone for practice sessions, such that even after practice, he'd strain himself, to the point of throwing up, constantly pushing himself to perfection.

-You just cannot build or rent that kind of "unique " inspirational leadership from any common player or position.

Tough question, because there are so many.
Roger
Emmitt
Bob Lilly
Randy White
Larry Allen
Really hard to choose from just that group of HOFs.

[TheCritic]

Staubach will always hold that mantle for me BUT if I had to pick anybody else.....

MICHAH PARSONS - yes I have already cast him as a once in a generation talent on the level of a Bob Lilly or Bob Hayes. Just watch.

One for Drew Pearson. Got it!

 

[Hagman]

One for Drew Pearson. Got it!

Oh. I was thinking the great Ron Sellers.

 

[Cowpolk]

Dang no votes for Rowdy yet

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

#88

Which one Drew Michael Dez Which 88

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

Can't go wrong with any of em

I'm thinking you meant Mike

 

[nobody]

Maybe it's time to call it. take the top 5 and turn it into a voting poll. Not that anyone would come remotely close to beating Staubach but the numbers might be interesting if the lower vote guys were eliminated from contention.
