Your Top 5 Loved and Hated Cowboys?

[Established1971]

I completely forgot about Randle already...lol. I've seen people express dislike for Septien before. I must have missed something with him.

People are retroactively disliking him because he got accused of doing something with an underage girl.

 

[Established1971]

Care to expand on that? How did he turn his back? It's purely subjective, but he and Buck are my favorite announce team right now. I love him. And so do my non-Cowboy-fan friends.

Its not that subjective, its pretty overt how he bends over backwards to, at worst be anti-Cowboy, or at best stupidly trying to over-prove he is objective

 

[xwalker]

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???

I guessing you like to watch the offensive line play X!

I like arse-kickers...see the Randy White entrance.

Yes, OL is my favorite thing to watch in football.

I probably should have found a spot for Mark Tuinei.

More than "got accused", he pleaded guilty. And yes, I reserve the right to retroactively dislike someone because of something they've done in their past.

I did notice The Manster on your list. Gotta love Tui! Wasn't it him that was going to kick Skip Bayless's rear on the team plane? Watching Big E take Reggie White out of games was always fun.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Erik Williams
Marion Barber

There are many others I admired, but these 2 stick out to me. For the 2-3 years these two were at the top of their games, they individually set a tone that inspired the entire team, and it was fun to watch.

Most Loved: Staubach, Bob Hayes, Mel Renfro, Bob Lilly, Walt Garrison, Randy White, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Darren Woodson and Dak.

Most Hated: Jay Ratliff, Greg Hardy, Kyle Orton, Terrell Owens, GM Jerry Jones and Barry Switzer.

There was no evidence against him. A girl said he molested her. The prosecutor said he would send him to prison for life but then offered him a plea deal for probation and no jail time. It would have been an incredible risk to not take the plea deal.

C'mon, the blame it all wrong on Jerry is a tad old by now. And Barry had a higher percentage of winning, both in the Collegiate and Professional ranks. Fact...

Wow, I had forgotten about the Tuinei nearly killing Bayless story. Jimmy broke it up.

There were other story's about Tuinei being subtle enforcer with a low tolerance for nonsense.

There was also a story about Tuinei puttiing a Gatorade bottle on top of his head and asking Aikman to knock it off with a football from a good distance away. Tuinei was that confident in Aikman's accuracy.

If I haven't touched a 10 year old girl, there's no way I'm going to admit to doing so and screw up my life and reputation forever. If you read the article about the plea deal, the family of the girl consented to it because they didn't want him to have to go to jail. That's curious to me. That being said, they also claimed his accounts of what happened were dishonest.

Why would the parents want him to get probation if they believed he molested their 10 year old daughter? About 99.9% of parents would want to kill him.

Those stories where there is no evidence are scary. Many kids have recanted later.

I saw a story where a little girl testified that the man that killed her mother was her neighbor. The guy got life in prison with no other evidence. Years later the girl realized that she was wrong and recanted her story. She basically said he had reservations at the time but that she didn't want to "get in trouble" by changing her story.

You believe what you want to believe. He confessed to touching her genitals.

Yes, I'm generally a fan of Garrett, but I think a Jimmy type HC could have turned Hardy into a great player for the Cowboys.

Marinelli loved Hardy.
