Your favorite Dallas Cowboy ever

After some thought, I have to go with Larry Allen, one of the best offensive lineman ever. He dominated completely.

Either Roger Staubach or Emmit Smith. Hard to pick just 1 for me.

Tough one. Partial to Roger Staubach because we went to the same church and he lived in my neighborhood. We played football across the street from his house in Prairie Creek Park. When he was outside we would try to get him to be our quarterback.

Roger Staubach... Dan

Remember that time he was drunk and crashed his Benz at 635 to northbound DNT?

Terry Bradshaw seems like he was always in the cowboy games that mean something lol

Definitely Roger probably Troy second.

Ed "Too Tall" Jones

The Manster!

Tony Romo

Dat Nguyen

Bob Lilly, saw him signing autographs on a card table and the table was sitting on top of his knees, the legs were 8-12 inches off the floor. Him or Robert Newhouse, stopping him was like trying to tackle a bowling ball I once heard.

Jason Witten

tom landry, while he was there he was the cowboys.

Bob Hayes

Charlie Waters

I've always been a Jason Witten fan. Talented, driven and dependable on 3rd and long.

Darren Woodson.

Bob Lilly.

Walt Garrison

Bob Lily.

There's a reason he's called "Mr. Cowboy"

I have no single..fav. If you wore the star you my favorite.

Dandy Don

Hershel Walker. Because if it wasn't for that trade. They wouldn't have built a 3 Super Bowl team.

Roger Staubach and Bob Lilly are the two greatest Cowboys ever. Roger is my all-time favorite NFL player. I don't wear player jerseys, but if I had a vintage Staubach #12 I would wear it. He was not only the greatest but the classiest.

I believe that was Erik Williams who ruined his knee and was a surefire HOFamer. Michael Strahan said he was the toughest tackle he ever faced.

I am not sure who would be most important player a lot have been very valuable to the team. I would be hard to chose anyone other than Roger he brought the cream to the top for sure. I think if you take Terry and steelers away Roger wins at least two more SB's

Ain't that the truth.

Tony Casias, Randy White.

I liked Tony Dorsett when I was a kid.

going back even farther, Calvin Hill was a goat.

Woodson has always been my favorite.

Cliff Harris

Benny Barnes

Charlie Watters

Aikman or Charles Haley.

Dorsett

The Manster, Emmitt, Moose and Jay Novacek

Chad Hennings, just because of the man he was and is off the field.

I have been reading through the list of players and was thinking. They have had a ton of great players I had forgotten about. I wonder why they don't have many more SB throughout their history. I know both Cowboy and Steeler teams in the 70's had great players and coaches but I always considered Tom a better coach then Chuck but I am sitting here reconsidering that thought. They both had great players at the time and great defenses

Haley was mine. When I was in DC and Da Boys whipped up on the Redskins I was in hog heaven gloating to those pompous rectal orifices I had to work with at FinCEN.

Quincy Carter hands down

Ditka.

Not a Cowboys fan...but Emmitt Smith gets my vote.

Being an outsider here my choices are;
1- Lee Roy Jordon
2- Calvin Hill
3- Duane Thomas

No one stands out to me as my favorite. I've been blessed to befriend some of them over the years. Been to some fun weddings, parties etc. Of all those guys Ron Leary is an absolutely genuine guy that I am glad to call a friend. As far as just on the field player, Demarcus Ware is way up there for me.

And Bill Bates. Two guys that didn't seem to fit the physical mold of an NFL player, yet they always seemed to end up with their nose on the ball.

Not hard for me Walt Garrison.As we lived by him in Old Frisco when he stayed at the Phillip's Ranch. That is when he married Phillip's daughter who owned Tandy Corp. ( Radio Shack ).
We used to see him a lot at a little store/ bait house next to the ranch when we would get minnows to go fishing. He would alway offer to buy them and even give us a cold beer. A real down to earth man.

^^^^^^^^^^^

We worked with with a children’s charity in Dallas back in the day and got to work with Robert Newhouse. Really a good guy that died much too soon.

Surprised it never came out that he was a little tooty fruity.

Walt Garrison.... Charlie Waters.... Harvey Martin

Billy "White Shoes" Johnson.............

Lynn Elliot…. ‘Cause he introduced me to his then fiancé….now she’s my wife! Her only regret is payday.

Don’t remember him as a Cowboy

How many remember the shark? I've never seen a player work the crowd like he did. He made it fun!

houston oilers.

Made the end zone celebration famous. I liked him but he never was a Cowboy.

I lived out that way around that same time too. The colony in the 70’s. Before it was a city.

Kenny Gant.

Dandy Don was the first cowboy player I liked.

Michael "Cocaine" Irvin

Hollywood Henderson

Leroy Jordan

Clint Murchison

For you olds, Don Perkins and Amos Marsh

Crazy Ray

I have several from every decade.

Mark Bavaro

Walt Garrison. Watched him play at OSU. The Cowboys during his and Meredith and crew were spectacular. So much better than now.

Randy White!! Dude is still ripped and extremely generous to his community!!

Either Cornell Greene or Mel Renfro.

Parts of the original "Doomsday Defense".

Roger.....Ed Jones....Randy White......Robert Newhouse.....my childhood gridiron heroes

Leighton Vander Esch

Charles Haley
made them dominant

No Raphael Septien fans in here?

Tom Landry --- best dressed coach ever , I always thought that hat was way cool for a coach

Randy white said the only man he was ever afraid of was Coach Landry.

I got to ride to a Dallas Texans football game with Ernie Stautner in his Lincoln. I sat beside Randy white at a mavs game and he ate a lot of my mavs super nachos. I met Ed Too Tall Jones multiple times. I think he wore size 19 bowling shoes.

My favorite Cowboy ever - Tony Dorsett.

Coach Landry and Capt America Roger Staubach are 2 Americans that we should all strive to like.

Too Tall was a super nice guy. Back when he played most of those guys had jobs during the off season. I was a buyer for Tom Thumb, and he was a sales rep for a company in the Merchandise Mart and called on me about every two months for a couple of lines I bought from his organization. He told me once at lunch that he had worked for Tom Thumb several years before and he told them he wanted no special treatment or some BS public relations job, so they had him working at the store on Lovers Lane and Greenville in Dallas. He gave that job up because he felt bad when the little old ladies would try to tip him for taking their groceries out to the car.

That’s awesome! We got to meet him every year at The Quakerstate Open for the PBA at Forum Bowl back when that was a huge deal. He was always so incredibly nice.

As a 6 or 7 year old kid, he was truly a giant of a human being and couldn’t have been nicer

Danny White when I was a kid. Had the Hutch plastic football uniform and everything.

None of them now.

Parsons

No Deion Sanders fans?
Clint Longley?
Lance Alworth?
Golden Richards?
Jackie Smith?
Clem Kiliddlehopper?

Lee Roy Jordan or Randy White.

Golden Richards was another Cowboy that called on me at Tom Thumb, but he was just "eye candy" for the RCA distributor and would always be with a real salesman when they had an appointment. He would always wear these skin-tight jeans when he came in and every girl working in the purchasing dept found some reason to come into my office to ask me an important question.

Dandy Don. I grew up in mt vernon and knew his parents Jeff and hazel. Met too tall in the parking lot of the texas fair. But that's a different story! Ha.

Poor ol Jackie
Good Ol Clem

when my son was this age
we put him on a plane too see his Mom
in Midland
Too Tall took him in on the flight
he was going for some reason
gave him an autograph picture also (Too)
great human

Darren Woodson
Close second would be a tie between Romo and Deion.

So many good names here!

Crossed paths with him once at a 7-11 in Coppell. Biggest human being I’ve ever seen in my life.

I couldn’t imagine having to play against Ed Jones and having any success. I can’t imagine having someone like that get angry at you.

No love for Hollywood Henderson?

Yes, Calvin Hill legendary, his swan dive over the middle for a TD. And Dorsett, the way he ran, was so cool... Pollard reminds me a lot of him.

A lot of great names mentioned in this thread, did not see Bill Bates, that guy had a motor that never stopped, he was in on every play. If the whistle was blown and dead, you would at least see him late flying over the pile.

#33 TD did have a cool way of running. It looked like his head never moved. His 99 yard run was amazing.

George Teague. Put the hit on Terrell Owens on the star. Should be in the Teams HOF.

Hard to pick just one but Roger would be my favorite. Take away Jacky Smith and I think Roger would have had one more SB win against the Steelers.

10 years ago, Marcus Spears forced me to sit in his bathtub at his house in Frisco. It was like a super insulated tub with a commercial ice machine built into the master bathroom. I got the grand tour of his house that night. I was delivering his car that I built and he was seriously more excited about the bathtub. Kinda depressing for me, but every player has several cars…BUT ONLY ONE GIGANTIC BATHTUB.

Romo

99 yards and a half

With only ten players.

"We WILL win the ballgame!" Jimmy Johnson

I’ll add DeMarcus Ware as my second favorite behind Woodson.

[censored] Jackie! Shouldn't have dropped it!

Hollywood

My list is long and doesn’t include anyone from the past decade.

Bill Bates
