What would it take for Cowboys to be Super Bowl contenders too?

[quickccc]

By the way, Philly just won a title two years ago with an overpaid QB that didn’t even play in the playoffs.

...and a journeyman QB who proved afterwards he is more suited to be a backup than starter ( Nick Foles)

1. Need a competent GM
2. Complete overhaul of the front office
3. Overhaul the scouting department
4. Bring back accountability and actually empower the Coach to take the needed actions when players fail to perform to expectations

I’ve never seen them draft a top talent QB since Aikman so I can’t say if I trust them or not.

You've also never seen them sign key FA from other teams like you're proposing to do with the cap savings.

Chances are they blow that too.

I'm not arguing your point or disrespecting your opinion as much as I'm just trying to say it may be a bit soon to throw in the towel on whats in hand.

It takes more than just a group of good players.
It takes "it"....whatever "it" is.
.
Coaches who are respected by his players.
GM who doesn't interfere with his coaches.
Two or three standout leaders on the field.
No drama, on and off the field.
etc...etc...etc....

DEFENSE

 

[KJJ]

Avoiding the big QB contract would be a great start.

Right, and leave the team with a cheap veteran castoff or having to burn first round picks every few years trying to find a QB. That along with our stellar defense should turn us into instant contenders.

 

[RS12]

Jones family completely removed from the franchise.

 

[KingintheNorth]

The Jones family hiring a competent and accountable GM.

 

[CATCH17]

I’m fine with trying to break out of mediocrity.

Great QBs make the post season consistently.. It’s worth taking a shot.. Ask Tampa.

 

[StarBoyz83]

At least 2- 3 more years of building the team and they'd have to use FA for once.

 

[Bobhaze]

A change in ownership.

 

[KJJ]

We have a QB on the brink of greatness if you want to break out of mediocrity fix the defense! A big reason Tampa won today was their defense.

 

[Loso86]

Avoiding the big QB contract would be a great start.

If we do that deal then we just don’t really need to even think about winning anything.

They didnt.....

Question of the Day: What would it take for Dallas Cowboys to also be Super Bowl Contenders too ?

Its not about KC Chiefs - as they have a phenomenal QB in Mahomes and an HOF head coach but look at how they build that team around those two to challenge being a dynasty for years to come.

- Look at the Bucs, who were going thru the Jamis Winston overall No.1 pick and years of mediocrity
but look how that management went out and got the HC, the aging GOAT, they already had skillful WRs
and TEs but they built a champioship contending defense and an OL around Brady

- Look at Buffalo who have been hideous and one of the losing organizations for decades since the Jim Kelly days ..but look how over the years they have build a SB contending team around a HC, QB and other
elements on both sides of the ball ... only KC Chiefs stood in their path to play in SB ..

- And you know GB contended this year with a 2nd year HC ....there's always some questions about their defense rising to play championship defense - but at least they are in the NFC title game

And then where...how close or how far are we the Dallas Cowboys from finally contending for NFC title games and our very own legit SB runs .....

Simply a defense that makes key stops

It’s a simple question. We’re not such a simple answer. It starts with the Jones family it’s called micromanaging

 

[Whirlwin]

They didnt.....

He has a Prescott issue , Tries to disguise it as money

 

[Whirlwin]

..get the right coaches with right players. With a little luck here n there.

Other than micromanagement, he hit it right on the head. Wrong players for the wrong scheme

 

[Whirlwin]

If your QB is only good then you better have a great team.

It’s hard to build a great team with a good QB making great QB money.

Yeah I’m glad that’s not our issue

 

[JayFord]

Not having an entire offensive line, a Qb on IR will help

 

[exciter]

Avoiding the big QB contract would be a great start.

If we do that deal then we just don’t really need to even think about winning anything.

Nope! The 1st step in getting there is getting our top 10 franchise QB signed long term. Then we can start drafting the needed players around him!
