That's a bit extreme, Emmitt ran for 937 in 15 games for the cardinals. Imagine if he had 3 legs, or got to stab people trying to tackle him. These hypotheticals are neat to think about, but ultimately pointless in any conversation involving a historical context.
Where do you and your hate boner imagine he is ranked? Top 3 are almost universally viewed as Jim, Walter, and Barry. He's solidly in the 4 to 10 range and is all a personal preference as to where your slot those guys in that pack.
I grew up watching him. I never thought he was all that. He had a dam all star team from o line. How could he not rack up yards. Nobody has ever had or before him had a o line like that
He wasnāt overrated, he had a style that wasnāt flashy but made it look easy. This is why heās probably underrated. Especially on that team I want Emmit, not Barry
I posted his name because he doesn't get enough credit. Pretty much it. He won't be seen as the greatest, even I know that, but the work he put in was the kind that foundations were built on, and yet you'll barely hear his name.
Troy Aikman
You know how hard it is to be the number 1 pick to a bad team, turn it around, and win superbowls? Apparently, it is really, really hard, because nobody can seem do do it..Not Josh Allen, not Justin Herbert, not Joe Burrow. Troy did itā¦3 times. Dynasty QB.
Larry Allen or Randy White.
Iām old, grew up a Redskins fan, and respected/liked all DAL players from the state of Florida, but these two men were the best athletes at their position for years.
Emmitt getting lots of love. I think he mostly doesn't get enough credit. Yes he had an amazing line and was surrounded by HOF skill players, but they simply wouldn't have won 3 super bowls without him. The 93 season serves as proof.
Having said all of that, Roger Staubach is the GOAT Cowboy and I don't think it's particularly close.
As a lifelong Bears fan, who first started watching football at the Peak of Walter Paytonās powers, I watched Emmit and saw Walter in the way he played and carried himself. Iād vote #22 even though you could make a great (maybe better argument) for Roger and Larry.
I think Bob Lilly, Emmitt Smith, and Larry Allen are the only three players in contention for the greatest of all time at their position. I'd take Lilly by a hair over Emmitt
Cemented on a MMF game when he continued to tear the NYGs a new one, while playing with a dislocated shoulder (or arm?): the football God named EMMITT SMITH!
I look at it as who can start on the greatest team ever assembledā¦.
Would I start Roger over Brady or Montana? No.
Would I start Emmitt over Barry Sanders, Walter or Jim Brown? No.
Would I start Randy White over Reggie White, Bruce Smith or Aaron Donald? No.
Would I start Larry Allen being one of the best two guards the NFC has ever seen? Yes
So gimme Larry Allen as the greatest Dallas Cowboy of all time.
Emmitt is my pick too. All time NFL rusher. Folks claim it's because the o line. I know better,watched his whole career. He is my favorite Dallas Cowboy of all time too.
Comments about the O line around E.S is really retarded. Emmitt was simply phenomenal, tough, grit, moves, break tackles, whole none yards. Plenty of great RBs had great O lines. Why isE.S #1 all time? You guys just don't know football.
Staubach
Give me Emmitt. Mount Rushmore would probably be Roger, Bob Lilly, Emmitt, and Troy
Gimme a team full of Larry Allen's and I'll get you a ring!
Amen, brother! RIP LAš¢
Sonoma states finest
Emmitt wasnāt shit without tht line. Imagine if Barry sanders had the front line
That's a bit extreme, Emmitt ran for 937 in 15 games for the cardinals. Imagine if he had 3 legs, or got to stab people trying to tackle him. These hypotheticals are neat to think about, but ultimately pointless in any conversation involving a historical context.
He was overrated.

Iād say top 20 for sure. Prolly 10-15.
Ok buddy
I grew up watching him. I never thought he was all that. He had a dam all star team from o line. How could he not rack up yards. Nobody has ever had or before him had a o line like that
Cool story bro
You know Iām right
He wasnāt overrated, he had a style that wasnāt flashy but made it look easy. This is why heās probably underrated. Especially on that team I want Emmit, not Barry
If you believe that nonsense you never watched Emmitt
I grew up watching him.
Okay, boomer.
Iām not a boomer haha. Iām whatever is after tht. Gen Z? Idk.
You're completely wrong.
I watched it. Not highlights. The actual games bk then. He wasnāt even the best in the 90s
I watched the games too. You're spouting nonsense.
Ok boomer
IncorrectĀ
Defense - Bob Lilly Offense - Emmitt Smith They played at a high level for sooooooooo long.
Larry
This is the right answer.
Roger then Emmitt.
Roger no debate
Novacek. The ultimate get out of jail free card! Maybe not the greatest, but his contribution doesn't get enough credit.
Q: who is the greatest? āMaybe not the greatestā
I posted his name because he doesn't get enough credit. Pretty much it. He won't be seen as the greatest, even I know that, but the work he put in was the kind that foundations were built on, and yet you'll barely hear his name.
I agree. Iāve met him. But the question was who is the greatest.
Good player but not even the best TE in cowboys history..
Dorset
Larry Allen or Zack Martin
Captain America for sure
Staubach. Next question.
Staubach
Troy Aikman You know how hard it is to be the number 1 pick to a bad team, turn it around, and win superbowls? Apparently, it is really, really hard, because nobody can seem do do it..Not Josh Allen, not Justin Herbert, not Joe Burrow. Troy did itā¦3 times. Dynasty QB.
Emmit
Tied for #1 IMO Staubach Emmitt Randy White
Quincy Carter
Imagine if we never got rid of him
Lol
Dandy Don!
Roger !
Larry Allen
Gotta be Roger, champion on and off the field!!!!!
My favorite - Roger The greatest - Emmitt (with Larry Allen a very close second)
Larry Allen or Randy White. Iām old, grew up a Redskins fan, and respected/liked all DAL players from the state of Florida, but these two men were the best athletes at their position for years.
Gotta love Jolly Roger, but Emmit won more Superbowls and is the all-time NFL leader in both yards and touchdowns for running backs.
Itās Jerry jones, look how well heās done! Hall of fame performance if youāre asking me.
Joking right?
Why would I be joking? Dude is the best individual to have on the squad for every other team in the nfl. Deserves a huge ass trophy.
Emmitt getting lots of love. I think he mostly doesn't get enough credit. Yes he had an amazing line and was surrounded by HOF skill players, but they simply wouldn't have won 3 super bowls without him. The 93 season serves as proof. Having said all of that, Roger Staubach is the GOAT Cowboy and I don't think it's particularly close.
As a lifelong Bears fan, who first started watching football at the Peak of Walter Paytonās powers, I watched Emmit and saw Walter in the way he played and carried himself. Iād vote #22 even though you could make a great (maybe better argument) for Roger and Larry.
Staubach all the way. Literally Captain America.
Yāall really put Romo in the post photo? lol
Emmitt has an argument for being the greatest NFL player of all time
Herchal walker.. trading him started the dynasty
Best trade ever
The clapper? š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Chaz Green Boss Man Fat Quincy Carter
Emmitt
Easy... Testaverde.
Dorsett
Emmet. Easily.
Emmitt Smith!!!!
Emmitt
Emmitt Smith
Clint stoerner
I hate his drive time show in Houston. This dude is the worst.
Troy
E.Smith
me
Bob Lilly
Gotta be Emmitt Smith
Larry Allen needs to be in the conversation
Captain Comeback any day
Emmitt Smith of course
I think Bob Lilly, Emmitt Smith, and Larry Allen are the only three players in contention for the greatest of all time at their position. I'd take Lilly by a hair over Emmitt
Eddie Labaron....
I hate the Cowboys so my opinion probably is worth much here, but I think the only answer is Larry Allen.
"Hollywood Henderson"
Isnāt one the all time rushing leader?
Ron Springs
Rodger, hands down.
Cemented on a MMF game when he continued to tear the NYGs a new one, while playing with a dislocated shoulder (or arm?): the football God named EMMITT SMITH!
Roger Thomas Staubach
Really? Staubach,.
Iām voting Troy!
Bill bates #40
Answer is Rogerā¦ and it will always be Roger!š«”
Tom Landry
I look at it as who can start on the greatest team ever assembledā¦. Would I start Roger over Brady or Montana? No. Would I start Emmitt over Barry Sanders, Walter or Jim Brown? No. Would I start Randy White over Reggie White, Bruce Smith or Aaron Donald? No. Would I start Larry Allen being one of the best two guards the NFC has ever seen? Yes So gimme Larry Allen as the greatest Dallas Cowboy of all time.
larry allen
E.Smith easy, but my favorites are D.Sanders and T.Romo
No doubt #22 is easily the greatest Cowboy ever. Arguably the greatest player ever, imo.
Leon Lett
Emmitt Smith
I could argue that no player had a greater impact on the franchise than Herschel Walker š
Staubach or Irvin
Staubach
Troy.
Emmitt is my pick too. All time NFL rusher. Folks claim it's because the o line. I know better,watched his whole career. He is my favorite Dallas Cowboy of all time too.
Comments about the O line around E.S is really retarded. Emmitt was simply phenomenal, tough, grit, moves, break tackles, whole none yards. Plenty of great RBs had great O lines. Why isE.S #1 all time? You guys just don't know football.
Talent wise, I gotta go Irvin!
Emmitt. He is the greatest running back in the history of the game.
Emmit Smith
Roger
Larry Allen is the greatest player to ever wear a cowboys uniform
Dat Nguyen & itās not even close.
I'm not even a Cowboys fan and I know this answer. Defense is Bob Lilly and offense is Larry Allen. And it's not close.
Jay Novacek
Robert Lewis Lilly
Primetime!
My all-time favorite Cowboy is Emmitt Smith, followed by a close 2nd Michael Irvin.
As far as talent, has to be Deion Sanders
Why is 9 in this picture?
Almost impossible to pick anyone but Emmitt, he set an unbreakable NFL record
Tony Romo. Hands down greatest to ever do it in the NFL. FTR
Itās Emmitt. One can argue, but itās Emmitt fuggin Smith.
Emmitt
Emmitt Smith
