Yes we all have our favorite Cowboys but also what Cowboys have you wished never dawned the silver helmet and blue star. No owners and coaches, just players.
For me
Most Loved
1- Drew Pearson- He was my childhood hero growing up. He was a rookie and I started for the first time in Little League Football and our team was called the "Cowboys" and I wore #88 and Drew Pearson was a rookie WR and he was awesome. My favorite always when they say #88 I see Drew not Irvin or Dez...
2-Tony Dorsett- The guy was awesome he was so smooth running the ball. It was like he was in a ballet out there. Still one of the fastest players I have ever seen.
3-Charles Haley-Everytime I watched the defense I keyed on him and he was like a sprinter coming out of the blocks and the LT was like moving in slow motion. They can say The Triplets all they want,we didn't win Superbowls until he arrived.
4-Randy White--I still remember that Eagles game where he chased the WR down,but the play that got me awestruck by him was him being blocked and he swatted at the Eagles RB back of their head like a grizzley bear and knocked him down to the ground.
5-Demarcus Ware-Was just like Haley I always watched how he would play and teams constantly had to know where he was because he was unblockable at times.
Most Hated
1-Quincy Carter- The guy couldn't throw a tight spiral to save his life. He had me wanting to pull my hair out of where some simple 5 yard pass was going to go.It was either 10 feet above the receiver or at their feet inches away from the turf.
2-Phil Pozderac- Bigger than Too Tall Jones,but this guy was Frankenstein. He couldn't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. He was clumsy seemed like he had 2 left feet. Couldn't remember the snap count on a consecutive plays and lost a tight Giants game. Fred Sanford comes to mind when I would see him "YOU BIG DUMMY"!!!
3-Manny Hendrix- Drove me nuts. He was a project Tom Landry hoping for the next Cornell Green. I remember watch preseason and the Bears threw right to him for an interception and he had this great run for a TD and everyone was cheering and I'm freaking out because I didn't want him on the team after a couple of years watching him constantly getting burned. I swear the Bears players looked like they were missing him on purpose. never failed when he came in as the nickel or dime in a regular game the other team went right after him and 1ST DOWN everytime. Just drove me nuts.!!!
4-Soloman Page- I hated him.This guy was lazy. He would do 1 push and 2 push and then wouldn't care and that defender would be on a jail break after the QB. He should have been the LT but I think the team couldn't trust him. Also he refused to play OG in his final game. Just a waste of a 2nd round talent
5-Dat Nguyen- Yes this should surprise some of you,but I hated him as a MLB. The guy was an ankle biter. he made a lot of tackles but teams constantly targeted him. He was small and I wanted a MLB who could knock an OG on his butt and run after and punish the ballcarrier. Not Nguyen he would grab an ankle and be dragged for 5 yards. His stats were inflated to me and ankle biting to me is not a tackle that is someone scared to be embarrassed that he might be knocked on his own butt. Tyrone Wheatley got him in a preseason game. Nguyen came on a blitz unblocked and Gannon just gave Wheatley the ball and you think was going to tackle him and Wheatley dropped him like a bad habit and ran for 3 or 4 yards. Nguyen got hurt by a WR Joe Jurvicous blocking him. Yeah Jurvicous was big but a freaking WR hurt you???
Well everyone what are your list of Loved and Hated???
