What can we expect from this Cowboys team the next 3 years?
There is no question this team is built around the QB/RB/WR who are 27/25/25 coming into this year. They should all be into their primes for the next 3 years — what can we expect?
I’m so scarred by Jason Garrett’s consistent inexcusable mistakes that caused this team could never get out of its own way. Basic decisions such as time management, critical situation calls, and special teams have plagued our seasons.
I believe our range of results is wide depending on McCarthy, health, and roster additions from the draft. I’m an optimist at heart, but it’s hard to get away from thinking more 8-8 or 9-7, fringe playoff seasons, maybe one special 12-4/13-3 season with a disappointing playoff loss.
If we are a Super Bowl contender, it will be because of McCarthy’s superiority over Garrett.
While the changing of HC and hiring of McCarthy looks promising on paper;
- we have to see what his coaching presence, management skills and changes best brings to the team.
- we'll have to see if this defense improves enough to finally becomes championship caliber- its' been the weak link for some time.
- we'll have to see if management can provide these coaches the proper personnel pieces to build a championship caliber via FA, trade and the draft.
- we need our big stars, our big studs playing at a top level on a longevity basis and at our most critical stretch and key games; and that's on
both sides of the ball; as well as special teams solidity. i have my best case scenarios with Dak, Zeke, and the OL unit; i still have my skeptics about Cooper
long term but it will play out in next 2 years.
- i haven't got a notion to how McCarthy will want to mix Kellen's ideology into his own system of operating. kellen will call the plays, the X's and O's fo McCarthy's offense ? .. But how much of Kellen's input and design will still be suggested and implemented into the offense - and how much McCarthy will want to be the lead, and how large or small a portion will Kellen be allowed to call the shots ?
DEFENSE- we have Dlaw and LVE to built around , and there's a big question about LVE' health and longivity.
We have to get Dlaw back to that 14 sack guy, after a post-surgery year, that's my biggest hope. Time will tell if he can be counted on in playoff crunch time.
- Sorry but i admit that i'm just not the biggest jaylon fan. i think he's overrated in his lack of top instincts, he's too much of a str8 line forward guy and he's lost too much to the surgical repaired knee. You have to scheme for him and protect him to get best production out of him, imo.
- We have nothing at secondary. No pro bowlers, and one of more average units in entire NFL. When will finally start having key secondary guys
we can build around ?
- Thus far Cowboy have added stop gaps at DT, nuthin additional at DE, and it's clear management wants to rely on draft, coaches
and a money ball FA approach to best push defense to a SB run.
