This is where they should be untill they prove otherwise. Were not even the best in our own division on paper. Maybe being under dogs will bring out some fight in them

The ranking seems proper I'd say they are about top 15 or around there. Are they they highest ranked NFC East team?

But as an owner he is going to sell his product and rightfully so.

He has such a voice that it ends up being positive reinforcement for bad play.

Thats the conflict he refuses to acknowledge by taking on the GM role also.

There have been some high quality teams and players come through here in the last "25 years," but they always seem to lack a certain edge when it counts most.

The chain of command is way out of whack in Dallas, and that never ends well.

Thats MY biggest issue with the man.
And it's the biggest reason for the failures over the last 26 years. There's been a few good years but that was despite Jerry.

I agree about the OL. It's being rebuilt is the biggest off season need we have. It helps as the defense by TOP and scoring. We lost that completely last year and It will not be eat to fix. I would be in favor of drafting OL at #10 if the right player was there. I do not trust Collins nor Smith nor Badass playing all season together.

Well put. My opinion as well.

you cant put them any higher based off 2020 espeically when the injury bug ran rampant

they lost an entire oline the qb, the backup for a couple of weeks and half of the defense so in the 20s makes sense

I have NEVER given any power rankings done before even a single preseason game has been played let alone a regular season game played as anything but nonsense. No rosters and starters are set for most teams and rankings now don't take into considerations what any injuries may happen once the season starts. It's just plain stupid.

Might be a little high, to be honest after what we saw last year.

Eh? Who cares? We haven't even had the draft and off-season yet. Let's see how the roster develops and how they play game one before worrying at all.

To be honest, they're being generous. We finished 2020 ranked 23rd, so they're saying we've improved. Only significant change is a new DC - player in/outs so far have been meh.

Power rankings are as useless as mock drafts. How many times have you seen any of these Bozos admit they got it wrong? It's just more crap trying to make this a year round sport when it's got the shortest season of the big 4.

It's like the perfunctory incessant Cowboys talk when there's really nothing else to say. It's all filler and only exists because there are so many sports talk goofballs that don't want to work for a living.

so who wrote this article? were they super bad at math?

Odd 18th of 32 teams is about middle of the pack and on paper, before the roster, draft, or schedule is set and before one snap? these rankings need to be saved for one week before hate season starts and then adjust from there..

BOTTOM would be 28-32

18 is not bottom but nice click bait and stupid rankings. Cant be much worse then college CFB rankings..

all preseason rankings are waste of time and just a way to fill space in a slow offseason..

the players IN IE getting our starters back on the field and off the training rehab tables is why..

are you still delirious like others that didnt see we were 23 because we basically payed with a 3rd string roster last year? we had a top 2 IR List, i mean its insane to keep acting as if our starting team played that bad..we lost the east by one game and yet the WFT is being heralded but a huge data point is mossing we lost over 17 players last year and played 4 Qbs, 3rd string OL, many defenders gone , Jarwin gone, zeke hurt etc tc..at the bye we lost all FAS cut them or traded them and used street guys to fil in..seriously dude,

"WE" when did you play?

WE as the DC third string roster finished 23 sure but just by default assuming we get a healthy dak, our starting OL back, Jarwin back and have any improvement on D with Quinn and the daft still coming.. we will be better then 18..book it..
