His mi sion was as impo sible then as mine is right now, but like the legendary character Ethan Hunt, I choose to accept mine as well, and I plan on accomplishing it. With that said, it's time to dive into the history of the to determine (gulp) the five most important figures to have ever walked the organization's halls.CBSSports.com's Franchise Five series dives into five most impactful people in each 's history. Our Jaroslav Halak Men Jersey rules here allow us to pick one head coach, one quarterback and three non-quarterback players. Let's take a look back at some of the men who have made this franchise one of the more special ones in the .Of course, this is no easy task, considering the slew of Hall of Famers produced by the team and the droves of talent they've employed over the course of 60-year history.For perspective, only a handful of teams have a legacy even remotely equivalent to the Cowboys. There are those who mushroomed into the new guard at the turn of the century, but didn't achieve much of anything before then, making it a bit easier to sort out who will be on their respective lists. When it comes to measuring the expansive and cavernous history of Dallas, however, New York Islanders Women Jersey let's just say it's not exactly a walk in the park. More accurately, it's like trying to spray paint air, as there is a list of additional players who could've easily made my final cut, and each means something to a fan somewhere -- many even being elite enough to transcend generational bias -- so there's truly no wrong answer here.It's just a matter of having some unbelievably fun discu sion, so let's. Oh, and as a sidebar, I think I had a cardiac event when I realized I couldn't figure out how to get Randy White listed here, above any of those I named, but consider this my nod to the "Manster" -- and some much-needed heart medication for myself as well. Now, shall we dance?Coach Tom LandryTenure:1960-88Resum (as a coach in Dallas):Two-time championTwo-time Head Coach of the YearRing of Honor inducteePro Football Hall of Fame inducteeFranchise record for career wins (250)Jimmy Johnson is finally getting his just de serts in being named to the Hall of Fame in 2020, but when it comes to naming the most legendary coach in the history of the organization, make room for The Fedora. Landry was the team's first-ever head coach, tasked with immediately making the team viable after having seen the front office go to war with the to be permitted to launch as an expansion franchise. In the social media-le s age of sports, Landry was able to avoid ince sant hot takes as he worked feverishly as one-third of The Triumvirate -- the other two being legendary scout Gil Brandt and former general manager/team president Tex Schramm (both Hall of Famers as well) -- in building the Cowboys up from Pat Lafontaine Men Jersey the mud.As a sidebar, he also played four different positions prior to entering the coaching ranks, being named a first-team All-Pro in 1954.The Cowboys went from an 0-11-1 inaugural start to 10-3 in le s than half a decade with Landry at the helm, which was microwave-quick by non-Twitter standards. He felt more than his fair share of playoff heartbreak but he and his players never waned, consistently pushing forward and perennially appearing in the playoffs until they finally broke through to land the team's first-ever Super Bowl win in 1971, and gifting the league with a list of legendary matchups that birthed some of the most heated rivalries in sports. The longest-tenured and winningest coach in Cowboys history (second-most in NFL history behind only Bill Belichick and the great Don Shula), Landry and his fedora are the stuff of legend. His statue outside of ATT Stadium serves as a reminder that if you're not first, you're last.QB Roger StaubachTenure: 1969-79Resum:Two-time Super Bowl championSuper Bowl VI MVPSix-time Pro BowlerNFL Man of the Year (1978)NFL leader in pa sing touchdowns (1973)Four-time NFL leader in pa ser ratingBert Bell Award Recipient (1971)1970s All-Decade TeamRing of Honor inducteePro Football Hall of Fame inductee22,700 career pa sing yards153 career pa Andrew Ladd Women Jersey sing touchdownsThe original playmaking quarterback for the Cowboys, Staubach was Troy Aikman, Tony Romo and decades before anyone would utter their names. His ability to escape sacks and make exceptionally difficult throws both while on the move and while stationary has earned Staubach the right to be a living legend. Along with the leadership of Landry, Staubach helped steer the Cowboys to their first two Super Bowl wins and make six Pro Bowls in the proce s. As much as it's been forgotten over the course of football history, he's also responsible for coining the phrase "Hail Mary" -- after a deep prayer of a throw to Hall of Fame wide receiver Drew Pearson in the 1975 divisional playoff game that gave Dallas the last-second win over the .Lovingly referred to as "Captain America," it's poetic in how he did as much for The Shield as he did for the Cowboys. And anyone, anywhere, who calls a pa s a "Hail Mary" just saluted Staubach, whether they realize it or not.

A four-time rushing champion with eight Pro Bowl selections, three SB wins, an NFL MVP, and a SB MVP, Smith is the definition of Cowboys' royalty. His impact on the field was so sizable it couldn't and still cannot be quantified, because his steady hand also kept Hall of Fame head coach Jimmy Johnson from being run out of town prematurely.The path for Smith was carved by Tony Dorsett before him, as he himself has done for , and every elite Cowboys running back until the end of time will be weighed against Smith, regardle s of how fair or unfair that might be. For when you set the bar as high as Smith did, everyone else is simply left doing all they can to reach it.DL Bob LillyTenure: 1961-74Resum:Super Bowl VI champion11-time Pro BowlerSeven-time first-team All-ProTwo-time second Nick Leddy Women Jersey -team All-Pro1970s All-Decade Team1960s All-Decade TeamRing of Honor i
