Hatcher over Carr? Sorry I just don't see it.

Yeah. I'd have Carr a bit higher too.

He's not thrilled with Matt Johnson's non partcipation, I see.

He ranks Sensy high, Miles too.

What I noticed was that the drop off is steep after about 13-14 players .

Harris at 23...sweet.

I noticed that too. You hit 13 and then it drops off a cliff.

Good to see it in a format like this. Gives weight to the argument that we're not nearly as "loaded" with talent as people like to think.

Josh Brent is last because of his DWI? If it's a ranking based on skill, then Brent is probably around 17.

Who said this roster was loaded with talent?

I think a ranking like this does give a different perspective.

I think Ernie Sims is a little cheated on it.

I think it shows that Dallas has a good amount of top players at certain positions. They are probably as talented as anyone at the top end but the other thing to notice is that the back end is almost non-existant. The team basically relies solely on the guys in the first 10 spots.

That...and the injuries combine to make it impossible (in my mind) to blame our coaches.

People who say we under-acheived and I say, HUH?!?!?!?

One could make an argument that it took superior coaching to arrrive at 8-8.

[Future]

We could cut everyone after 36 and not know the difference.

Those last 25 or so are just putrid

[T-RO]

If you put all the 49er players and put them side-by-side with the Cowboy roster...the Niners would dominate over 70% of the match-ups

[DallasDW00ds0n]

46 Felix lol

It was an eye opener.

Bob Sturm is right. It's not the top 10 or so players on this team. It's the remainder of the roster that's the problem.

I might switch a few positions but, assuming Ware and Lee are fully healthy it's not a bad effort.
