The leading rusher in NFL history, Dallas Cowboy great Emmitt Smith, is from Florida.Originally Posted by sam1952
The mid 1990 Cowboys teams was better. 1995 was an easy Super Bowl for us.
No doubt Emmitt Smith was a great running back but I’d take Dorsett. As to the “easy” Super Bowl for the 95 season it certainly wasn’t the Cowboys who made it easy it was the Steelers lack of a quarterback that won the game for them. Neil O’Donell was an average quarterback at best. Basically giving Dallas two interceptions.
No matter, the Steelers lead the Cowboys 2 to1 in heads up Super Bowls
Edited to add; the Cowboys didn’t cover the spread in that game either.

Dorsett 3334 carries/catches 90 TDs 90 fumbles or 1 every 37 touches
Smith 4924 carries/catches 175 TDs 61 fumbles or 1 every 81 touches
plus twice as many TDs on only ~50% more touches
As playmaker said, "all I need to do is score me some touchdowns and they'll forget about all this."
I had to look it up but Dorsett played 11 seasons and Smith played 13. No question you are correct that Smith is the best back the Cowboys have had.
My only point is I was always a fan of Dorsett. Followed his career at Pitt and just liked the style he played. Even with the Cowboys.

Dorsett strength was in his long plays. 20 of his 90 TDs were 30 yards or more 22%. Smith had 12 out of 175 or 7%
Dorsett was the last breakaway runner we had except for Herschel Walker. But he wasn't around that long as we used him to rip off Minnesota in a trade which led to our 3 Super Bowls wins in 4 years time.

Aikman compares cowboys to jets . Jerry Jones not a big fan of Amari Cooper it seems.

I love it when they play for the Lamar Hunt Trophy in Arrowhead.
Bengals win in a close one. Burrow has to learn to get rid of the ball or at least roll out.
The other AFC game could turn out to be a defensive battle too.
Has there ever been a softer offensive number one seed in the AFC ? If so , who ?Anyway the winner of that game ( Bengals) will be the biggest underdog in the playoffs this yr
