Greatest Living Cowboy...

[15Adragon]

http://www.star-telegram.com/oldboysclub/story/1469285.html

Interesting debate. You can't go wrong with Lilly, Roger, Emmitt, Troy or you name him. I think Lilly is a great choice because of what he meant to the franchise in his early years and he was an impressive player too.

[slorch]

This thread sucks...

because I cannot answer it.

I cannot pick one single greatest Cowboy.

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

I'm with Slorch on this one!

But, I definitely wouldn't vote against Lilly! He was the Cowboys' first overall draft choice, and first Hall Of Famer.

[Favpack]

Simply put the Cowboys would not have won their first or second SB without Roger.

Try as they might, they needed a better qb to get over the top. And, were it not for facing the greatest defense of all time, Roger would have won 4 SB's.

If forced, I'd go:

Staubach
Aikman/Smith
Lilly/Smith

No way would I put Bob last on that list - but I see no other choice.

[Dawg Fan]

Had the pleasure of having dinner at Bob Lilly's house back in the late 70's when he lived in Waco. A good friend of mines mom worked for him and George Andre at the Coor's distributorship. Bob grilled T-bone steaks and I remember looking at all the signed footballs and pictures and awards on his wall. There were also perks having a friend's mom working for the Coor's distributorship such as getting a bunch of free beer. One time a load shifted in a boxcar delivering Coor's and a ton of the cans got dented. They wrote off the shipment as damaged and let me and my friends stock up for free! I took all the unnecessary items out of my fridge (which was just about everything and filled it with coors). Man that was one hell of a week long party!:notworthy

Lilly was and is a class act and one of my Cowboy hero's from the 70's along with Roger Staubach and Drew Pearson.

Nope! Almost everytime somebody brings up the 'Boys, she brings up Charlie, Waters. That's when she does join in on the conversation.

Guys, it's Staubach and it's not even close. Hall of Fame career aside, his essence and aura defined the Cowboys throughout the decade that made them what they are today. He's since followed his playing days with an impactful business career here in the community that took him into their heart years ago.

All due respect to the folks that have fond memories of Bob Lily but he's an arse. My father and I have had multiple dealings with him and I've never met someone so engrossed with himself. He was a beast on the field and obviously deserves mention but no way he's on Roger's level.

Now that's a guy my dad and me have been around many times who is an absolute joy. Garrison is a hoot!

If excellence and results, both on and off the field are the measure, I could support this one. I've never met Bob Lilly, nor heard that about him, so i won't comment there. It's hard to believe a small town Texas guy would be like that. he was the franchise's first draft pick and the foundation of the first great Cowboy defenses.

Cowboys that I also thought were great on and off the field, but aren't in Roger's league-
Darren Woodson
Emmitt Smith
Larry Allen
Bill Bates
Jim Jeffcoat
Darryl Johnston
Troy Aikman
Jason Witten

You can't go wrong with Roger! He was the QB when I was a kid. Lilly was a force for years too.

I had to go look at my McDonald's Dallas Cowboy team poster from '78 hanging in my sons room. The coaching staff on the '78 team had to be one of the greatest staffs ever assembled. We may need to create another thread on this... (Landry, Ditka, Reeves, Stallings, Stautner, Myers, Tubbs, and more... wow!

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

When I worked at the Gaylord, I met Roger the Dodger TWICE! Very humble and down to earth!:notworthy I've never met Lilly so, I can't speak on him. SLC93, you always seem to know what you're talking about so, I'll take your word for it.;) I've never met Emmitt, but I have met Troy and Michael! Both Troy and Michael are great guys as well! Now, of course, don't really agree with the choices Michael made off of the field but, dude is pretty cool. He has an aura about him as well! I thought that he'd be a little stuck up but, he isn't. He just has that swagger, and he's very confident, with a little bit of ego. But, he'd talk to you, and hold a conversation with you as if he knew you!

I've had the chance to meet several of our all time guys through business with my Dad. I would argue Lilly's not even our greatest living defensive lineman, given my experiences with him. Randy White takes that one for me. Splitting hairs but when they're both HOF players I defer to the personality.

The aura or swagger is what keeps Aikman from being just right behind Staubach. I love Troy but his demeanor doesn't really translate on this list. His accomplishments and his glue qualities keep him up there but not at the top, imo.

I see where you're coming from! Troy is more of the laid back type!

[GoOwls]

Just a few questions, and I realize I may be splitting a few hairs, but depending on the parameters, my choice would be different.....depending....

Are we talking about just on field accomplishments, or combination of off and on?

Is it weighted one direction ot the other?

Do accomplishments later in life weigh heavily, or is it mostly limited to playing years?

Greatest meaning greatest accomplishments, or greatest legends.....there is a difference.

Thanks....;)

It's tough.....I remember most all of them....it's really tough.

I think I'd rather rank a top 10.....chosing one is impossible for me.

1A Roger Staubach (Staubach took the team where Lilly never could on his own....Roger gets the nod)
1B Bob Lilly
3A Emmitt Smith (they won without Troy and Michael, but not without Emmitt)
3B Troy Aikman
5 Bullet Bob Hayes.....changed football forever.
6 Michael Irvin...heart of that team
7 Rayfield Wright
8 The Manster, Randy White
9 Harvey Martin
10 Tie) Mel Renfro and Tony Dorsett

Honorable mention in no paticular order:

Everson Walls, Lee Roy Jordan, Chuck Howley, Danny White, Darren Woodsen, John Niland, Blaine Nye, Dave Manders, Cornell Green, Mike Gaechter, Billy Joe DuPree, Drew Pearson, Larry Allen...and about 25 or 30 others I can't remember right now.

Now if I was grading it on how great they are now, I would chose Rayfield Wright....the man's acceptance speach was a thing of beauty and his interviews on the radio are so insightful.....he may be my favorite Cowboy now.

I ran into The Manster a couple of weeks ago. Great guy, and still an absolute BEAST of a man.

[slorch]

I think you can take it whatever direction you want. When you think of greatest living Cowboy who do you think of?

If it's only on the field, it would be damned hard to top Emmitt Smith.

Nobody has more rings, and he finished as the all-time leading rusher in NFL history.

I'm torn on that one because of the rampant steroid abuse during that era. Maybe i shouldn't be such a mamby pamby, but I'm putting Michael Irvin on my list if I add the Terp alum.

I hate what Michael Irvin did off the field, but damn if I don't admire how he played and led his teams. One of the few guys that ran his mouth nonstop and then surpassed the hype. It seemed like he always, always turned it up when the competition got better.

Darrell Green and Deion (when he played against him) called Michael an absolute nightmare. Even when he didn't get the ball, he didn't take plays off! If you think about it, the 'Boys didn't really go down hill until after Michael got hurt! His nickname was "The Playmaker", and it was a nickname well earned.

One more thing! Irvin got double-teamed more than most recievers did and, yet, more times than not, he still found a way to get open.

Question for you Slorch, or anybody on this board; How many passes did you/y'all see Michael drop?

I'm not going to cheat and look it up, but he very seldom dropped a catchable ball, especially at crunchtime. It helps trmendously that Troy Aikman was a very accurate passer with great touch, but Troy didn't keep Irvin from getting pummeled after catching all of those quick slants and post route balls.

Seriously, I cannot think of a tougher WR that has played the game in the modern era. Hines Ward would be up there, but I would still lean towards Irvin.

I agree! I was sitting around talking to my cousin and, we were trying to figure out a time where Irvin had dropped a pass, especially when it mattered the most like you were talking about. We, seriously, couldn't remember one time where he did drop one. Not saying he didn't but, we were getting headaches trying to figure out if, and when he did drop one. And, he did get knocked around a couple of times after catching slants and posts. But, there were also times where DBs bounced off of him, and he continued to run for big gains after catching those posts and slants. Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice were a QB's dream! Nobody worked harder than they did!

And, I agree with you about Hines Ward as well. He's the closest thing!

Actually, Erik used to, literally, hit guys in the head with his fists. I remember the first time I saw him strike a DE in the head with a combo of left and right hooks! I remember asking my daddy; "Isn't that a penalty?". Daddy said; "Uhh, Matthew, they haven't thrown a flag so, I guess it's legal son!". And, Erik continued to do it as the season went on. Not too long after that, I can't remember exactly, but they came up with illegal use of hands. LOL!

Bill wasn't the most talented but, he played every play like it was his last. And, he did it with class!
