I agree with most of these picks. Here's what I would add.
QB Staubach
WR Hayes
OL Tuinei (I'm sure I misspelled it)
DL Tolbert
LB Edwards, Jones
DB James Washington, George Teague (he protected the star)

ST Kenneth "The Shark" Gant, Keith Davis(personal fav)

[Phil C]

Linebackers - what about Chuck Howley and Lee Roy Jordon. Howley is the only player to be chosen MVP of a losing Super Bowl Team? And what about defensive backs such as Cliff Harris, Charlie Waters, Mel Renfro and Cornell Green?

[Phil C]

And what about Bob Lilly on the DL. The one who was double teamed his entire career and was still yet able to make many plays.

[Curly]

Roger the doger or Dandy Don at QB
Duane Thomas
Bullet Bob Hayes
Walt Garrison the Cowboys Cowboy
Bob Lilly Mr. TCU
Ed Too Tall Jones
Harvey Martin
Cliff Harris
Charlie Walters
Randy White
Ditka

all the games with the Steelers
and Vikings
them was the days

[cowboyfan8]

don't post bits and pieces, put a team together so we can compare.

[Bull's-eye]

Rayfield Wright was called the best offensive tackle by Tom Landry.
DB Everson Walls (2nd in career INT's), FB Don Perkins, k Rafiel Septien, RB Herschel Walker, DL Harvey Martin, WR Tony Hill (2nd all-time rec yards), P Sam Baker (45.4 ave in 1962), LB Thomas Henderson, FB Robert Newhouse, LS Dale Hellestrae, KR/PR Kevin Wiliams are some other players that should get some consideration.

[HighSchool Fan]

Randy White should be on the list, but not as a LB. It wasn't until he moved to the DL that he made a name for himself.

[Bull's-eye]

All time Cowboy players that had their best years with other teams.

QB Bernie Kosar, QB Randall Cunningham, QB Wade Wilson, CB Herb Adderly, CB Bryant Westbrook, S Brock Marion, RB Timmy Smith, RB Chris Warren, LB Quintin Coryatt, OT Ron Stone, OL Forrest Gregg, DT Ray Childress, TE Jackie Smith (dropped a sure TD in Super Bowl XIII), WR Mike Renfro, WR Jimmy Smith, WR Mike Sherrard, WR Harold Carmichael, TE Johnny Mitchell, TE Jackie Harris, TE Todd Fowler, DT Alonzo Spellman and current QB Drew Bledsoe.

[sinton66]

If Duane Thomas is mentioned, how could we forget Calvin Hill?
Best cowboy ever? Only one.....Bob Lily.

[LewP]

"evidently" lol

[West22]

BOB LILLY WAS THE GREATEST D/L THAT DALLAS EVER HAD .HE WAS DOUBLE AND SOMETIMES TRIPLED UP ON FROM THE TIME HE STARTED IN THE LEAGUE .THE OTHER D/L NEVER HAD TO PLAY UNDER THESE CONDITIONS AND HE STILL MADE PLAYS .I GUESS THATS WHY HE IS IN HALL OF FAME .

[West22]

BY THE WAY HERB ADDERLY ENDED UP WITH FIVE CHAMPSHIP RINGS .THREE WITH GB AND TWO WITH DALLAS

[cheatchu]

My only change would probably be Staubach at QB

[PhiI C]

And don't forget Bull'sEye Lance Alworth WR.

Also Charles Haley was a great DE. He provided Dallas with the pass rush they needed while at Dallas. And Dion was great while he was here.

[Bull's-eye]

My all-time Cowboy team: starter & Back ups
QB's: Roger Staubach (scrambling and his comeback ability), Troy Aikman
RB's: Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett (great change of pace), Herschel Walker (power runner & great receiver)
FB's: Moose Johnston (great blocker & special teams player), Preston Pearson (great 3rd down back that nobody could cover))
WR's: Michael Irvin (Cowboys all time receiver), Drew Pearson (great possession receiver), Bob Hayes, Tony Hill (2nd all time receiver)
TE's: Billy Joe Dupree (great blocker and most TD's by a Cowboy TE), Jay Novacek (great receiver & "money in the bank" at keeping drives alive), Doug Cosbie
Tackles: Rayfield Wright, Erik Williams, Mark Tuinei
Guards: John Niland, Larry Allen, Nate Newton,
Centers: Mark Stepnoski, Dave Manders
Kicker: Rafiel Septien
Punter: Danny White (also 3rd QB saving a roster spot & the ability to run a fake punt play)
DE's: Harvey Martin (teams all time sack leader), Ed Jones , Charles Haley (pass rush specialist), LeRoi Glover
DT's: Randy White, Bob Lilly, Leon Lett, Russell Maryland
LB's: LeRoy Jordan, Thomas Henderson, Chuck Howley, Ken Norton, Bob Breunig
CB's: Deion Sanders, Mel Renfro, Everson Walls, Cornell Green
FS's: Cliff Harris, Thomas Everett
SS's: Darren Woodson, Charlie Waters
Special teams players: Bill Bates, Kenny Gant

[Hill Man]

Don't forget Larry Cole and George Andre at DT with Lilly & Pugh, the original "DOOMSDAY DEFENSE".

And don't forget the Cowboys who became famous head coaches, Mike Ditka at TE (mean sonobtch) and Dan Reeves at running back tough as nails and great threat on the swing pass.

Saw my first Cowboy game in person at the Cotton Bowl 1967, Cowboys 31 - Cardnails 17.

Many heros on those past teams for me and too many to name but without a doubt the biggest for me are Staubach and Coach Landry.

It broke my heart when that carpet bagger from Arkansas came in and fired Coach Landry. Still makes me sick at my stomach when I see his twisted face on the tube no matter how much success he brought in later. I wish someone with the wisdom of Murchenson (old owner for those who don't remember) would come in and buy the team from the sob then turn it over to real football people instead of sticking thier nose in everything starting with the "jocks and socks". Give me a break.

But their still my Cowboys.....

[sww-bull52]

I don't think anyone has mentioned Golden Richards yet.

[Bull's-eye]

DE Jim Jeffcoat, FB Robert Newhouse, FB Ron Springs, G Herb Scott, WR Alvin Harper, LB Dixon Edwards & LB Darrin Smith are a few more players.

[Crimestick]

Before the achilles injury, Kevin Smith was one of the best DBs the Boys ever had. Of course, that's a homer pick as he was a big part of the WO-S state teams of the 80s. He and Deion were an awesome pair at corner.

Actually no they were not. Smith got hurt in game one of Deion's first year, and Larry Brown was the starter the rest of the year.

When Smith returned he was just a shell of the player he was before the injury. Sadly we never got to really see a Smith-Sanders DB Duo with both being healthy.

Speaking of Larry Brown, he was no sloutch either...he was a super bowl MVP I believe.

[Txbroadcaster]

yes he was a solid corner, but his SB MVP might be one of the biggest jokes of the SB. It is not like he did anything but stand there as the bad passes were thrown his way.

Dont get me wrong, loved Brown when he was a Cowboy, the story about the tragic death of his baby and how he fought through that is amazing, but his award was a gift, like the two ints

was it really a gift or did the reciever not read the blitz and cut his route like he should of. if the reciever makes the right read, brown doesn't intercept the passes.

If I remember right one of the ints was a WR running the wrong route, and one of them was Neil threw a bad pass that was about 10 yards over thrown

[Bull's-eye]

Don't forget President and GM Tex Schramm, he was a great innovator. He is credited with developing the Ring of Honor, bringing Thanksgiving games to the nation, coordinating the AFL/NFL merger, helped create instant replay, move the goal posts from the goal line to the end line and best of all...The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
