Roger Staubach is #1 because he did what no other player who played for Landry could do , win 2 superbowls .

#2a/b Emmitt , all time leading rusher of the ENTIRE NFL, 3 superbowls

Troy a close second to E. (same reason 3 championships)

# 4 M Irvin , the emotional leader of 3 superbowls

#5 Tony Dorrsett . who would have been the alltime leader of the NFL , if only Landry would have RUN him

Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly, & Lee Roy Jordan are my 3 favorite Cowboys. Here's why:
1) they were great players
2) they are men of class & integrity on & off the
football field

There are so many out there! I have to laugh at the lead in on this story where somebody says TO or Romo...they are good players, but please! They've barely been here long enough to even be called Cowboys much less the greatest!

Besides Tuba's recommendations, I'm fond of Novacek and Moose Johnston myself although I don't know if they would make this elite list. Some of those others wouldn't be great without these two guys.

I think you have to categorize GREATEST COWBOYS. First, i have to agree with weatherby4me in that they have to have only been a Cowboy and not left us for another team. So, here it goes. Bob Lilly has to be the greatest as far as longevity goes. He was the first, greatest, for the longest. Roger Staubach was the greatest leader. He accomplished more, with a lot less than Aikman, and still supports the organization. Troy Aikman accomplished more but had more support, 3 super bowls, and his accuracy was outstanding. Michael Irvin was the greatest emotional leader and might still be playing if he had not gotten injured. Bill Bates was the greatest underdog. Charlie Waters and Cliff Harris were the greatest duo. You know about the tripletts. And don't forget the doomsday quartet, Willie, Lilly, Jethro, and George. That's Towns, Bob, Pugh, and Andre, for those too young to remember. Greatest coach has to be the man with the hat, Tom Landry. And finally the greatest owner,although i didn't like the way he came in, Jerry Jones because of all he has done, not just for the Cowboys, but DFW and the NFL. I could go on and on but i would be here all day. GO COWBOYS

Dallas Doomsday Defence. That were the days of the Cowboys.

He isn't a cowboy but watch out for Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings My FAVORITE at this time

Let me tell you folks...

Cliff Harris may not be the best, but you put him out on the field, you better pray that you can run REALLY REALLY fast. OR that you are made of STEEL. He would knock an elephant over!
In my opinion, Cliff Harris is ONE of the BEST Cowboys we have ever had. You put the Doomsday Defense out there against our defense now...yes, now, they may have a little more speed, but then, they were hard to get around...I bet DD would tear them a new one.

Let me ask you this...How many Cowboys have been to more Pro Bowls than him...SIX and just to through in for giggles, ALL six of those were 1st or 2nd round draft picks. Cliff did it on his own! Free Agent!

GO CLIFF!!!!!!

Wasn't Tom Landry the greatest Cowboy ever?
