Did 2016 Dallas or 2024 Washington have the Better Team Going into their Playoffs? (Read Post 66)

[TheMarathonContinues]

Why not?
The Cowboys had the stronger overall roster but Washington had the better quarterback.

Because the quarterback position is the most important on the field. Having the best guard doesn’t equate the same as having the best qb.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I believe the question was supposed to be which team was better without consideration of the QB. The wording even after the clarification is still a little confusing though.

I stand corrected.

You gonna be waiting until you say something I like.

I don't need to be liked.

 

[5Stars]

I stand corrected.

They are hiring at Walmart...go look into it. You could go stand outside and get some exercise and make your own money.

I normally dont wish to evicerate a fellow fan, but when my honor and veracity is called into question I'm left with no choice but to defend it vociferously ......or in short, Go full Jersey on him.

Facts...I'm Jersey Direct. It's not that we disagree...fair enough. It's the gaslighting, disingenuous arguments, playing victim all the time...it's weak. Then calling other people "silly", etc...when he can't defend one of his posts with his formula of distract, disrespect and deny...it's goofy.

The Cowboys were one Aaron Rodgers pass away from the NFC championship game.

Washington got out of the wildcard round because Baker Mayfield fumbled a snap inside his own 20.

The final results doesn't change the fact that the Cowboys team was much stronger due to an elite running attack. They ended up 13-3 which included an 11 game winning streak.

The Commanders had a three game losing streak in November followed by a very easy schedule the rest of the way. They beat the Eagles when Hurts left before the end of the 1st quarter.

The Commanders had a great season, don't get me wrong. However, that 2016 Cowboys team was a little stronger. I doubt the Washington team could have beaten the 2016 Packer team but I would have liked the 2016 Cowboys chances against the 2024 Eagles.

Fully agree.
2016 Cowboys was a far stronger overall team except Washington had the better quarterback.

Id agree with that although not by much. Prescott's 2016 statistical season stacks up pretty well to Daniels 2024 season except in rushing yards

 

[Pass2Run]

I think it all boils down to personal perspective. For example, I still believe the 2007 New England Patriots was one of the best teams ever assembled but the New York Giants beat them.

They deserved their Lombardi and I do see the Giants as the better team that day. Nonetheless, my 'better team' vote would still go to New England.

This happens. It's football.

 

[DallasEast]

This happens. It's football.

Of course, but things would go my way if I had any say in the matter.

Teams were pretty close.
WASHINGTON'S COACH MADE THE DIFFERENCE.

 

[CowboyFrog]

2016 team was another in the growing list of playoff misfires for a "Talented" team, in some arena's posters say our talent is/was overated in others they point to a player...as with most things here it depends on the point they want to make....would swapping player A for player B at ________position had made the difference? Does that player stop AR from scoring? The world may never know....

 

[FVSTONE]

This isn’t even close.

Dak had three 1st team All-Pros on the OLine.

Zeke won the rushing title by 300 yards.

Dez and Witten, older, but still useful.

The defense wasn’t great, but neither was Washington’s last year.

You have a great point and if the Boys would have had Daniels as our QB, there's a great chance the Boys would have been headed to the SB.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

You have a great point and if the Boys would have had Daniels as our QB, there's a great chance the Boys would have been headed to the SB.

I think it would've been better than a good chance.

Daniels with all those weapons would've been scary.

 

[JoeKing]

Isn't it obviously the team that went to the NFCC game? I think so.

 

[Pass2Run]

I think it would've been better than a good chance.

Daniels with all those weapons would've been scary.

Dak is better than Daniels, imo. Let's see what happens this year.

 

[nightrain]

Daniel's elevated his team beyond what Dak is capable of doing for the Cowboys.

Daniel's elevated his team beyond what Dak is capable of doing for the Cowboys.

It helps when you face the Lions with their whole team on IR and the sorry Buccs who were hurt as well.

 

[starfan1]

You have a great point and if the Boys would have had Daniels as our QB, there's a great chance the Boys would have been headed to the SB.

Dak's rookie year stacks up pretty comparable to daniel's except for rushing yards.If Daniels stays healthy the skys the limit but Dak played pretty darn well his rookie year
