I was just thinking about how wonderful it would have been to have all of these all time great Dallas Cowboys on 1 team. I doubt any other franchise has had as much talent the Dallas Cowboys have had in the NFL. I predict this team would win 4 consecutive Super Bowls if it could ever have been assembled. I have also included my Dream Team coaching staff. Jimmy Johnson (1989-1993)
Ernie Staten
Norv Turner
I limited myself to only the current allowable 53 players in today's game plus the 5 practice squad players. The number in parentheses (1) indicates who is #1 on depth chart. This was a hard choice since I only can remember watching my first Dallas Cowboys football game when I was 5 years old, so I am not too familiar with some of the players who played for the Cowboys in the early years. I created my Dream Team from a pool of mostly modern era players and some who I have read about or seen highlights of on NFL Films. I also describe each player with at least 1 adjective or adverb to define what their most tangible aspects were since we all know their all great.
