The Cowboys might have made the playoffs in 1984 had Pearson and Martin not retired. Tony Hill had two injury plagued years in 83 and 84 that hurt the offense as well. Had Hill stayed more healthy in 83,84 and 86--though White being injured affected his year as well--he would have easily cleared over 10,000 receiving yards for his career. He and Wes Chandler were excellent, big play receivers that missed out on the HOF for a variety of reasons but both had position teammates that made the HOF.
