Nothing is definite, especially when it comes to being ranked in the top five. There are easily a handful of teams or more, already named, that will likely challenge that notion. If that's not enough, the Cowboys will be obliged to get their players fully oriented and familiar with a new system and new coaches. It's a serious handicap anytime a team takes on a new staff with a new system and a boatload of new players. The questions abound.

Unfortunately, rating any team at this time of the year is very much a premature exercise in futility, due to the unknown factors that always arise. Nobody knows what might develop in early June. We all hope for what's best for our team but wins simply aren't based upon hope. The number of new Cowboys players to be indoctrinated this year is an extreme challenge in itself for any team to overcome. Being in the top 5 is even tougher. I'm inclined to believe we'd be more than fortunate to reach that goal with all the lingering questions that beg to be answered. Top five? Sorry, I want it but I doubt it.
You make it sound like, why even have a conversation. Yeah I think everybody knows this. So again I’ll definitely. I think we are in the top five. Whether it shows on the field and that is another subject

You’re absolutely right nothing is definite. Just like anybody was saying we’re not in the top five. It’s just an opinion you know that

Thank goodness -- it's great to see we're both standing on the same ground.

I think this verifies what Emmitt Smith said several years back . . .

Opinions are like *******s, everybody has one -- lol. ;)

Go Cowboys! May we arise victorious! :)

Seems like you're bouncing back and forth between being agreeable and a little while later, just the opposite. Make up your mind what you really mean to say and maybe we can have an actually have a sane conversation. In one moment, you're agreeing with me and in the very next post, you're back to being argumentative. Your moods incredibly bounce back and forth like a ping pong ball. Seriously, you need to seek help! :rolleyes:

Seemed like it would take an awful lot of convincing to straighten you out! ;)
I’ve had issues with you before. You thought I was some bashing poster. And I told you had me confused with someone else. You seem to be having a touch of dementia

Heading into most seasons the Cowboys are a top-five NFC team on paper. The problem is what we see on paper seldom materializes on the field. Either the players aren’t as good as we think or they underachieve. Maybe the problem has been mostly due to coaching.

I don't have you confused with anyone else. You're one and the same clueless individual you've always been and you prove it every time you respond to one of my posts in mindless fashion. Do us both a favor and kindly keep your opinions to yourself where I'm concerned. Thanks in advance for that. Believe me, you have issues and it's not just with me. :rolleyes:

I have neuropathy from the military. I rely on speak and text. My fingers sting like a bee stings when I type. I’m tired of explaining it to newbies. People that know me understand this and they see through it. Blame Google for the punctuation spelling. Don’t be rude. Because some people to have problems. It’s not a perfect world I’ve actually explained this to you before. You choose not to comprehend it I guess

I honestly don't recall you ever explaining that to me. It might have either been someone else or I just missed it somehow. Maybe we just took each other too seriously with the insults and all. Anyhow, I guess we could try a little harder to get along. I know it won't be easy but I'm willing to give it a shot. Anyway, thanks for your service, though. I did seven years for the Army and the National Guard. Got out 1 year after the Cuban missile crisis. ;)

assumptions are great but just because you FEEL the rams eagles Vikings and even tampa will be better are just that.. we could easily beat OUT TWO OF THEM..or not..

Just going by the QB position and teams ability to perform in big games. Best way to judge past performance is look at past history. Thats all I have to go on!

Nope each season resets for most teams and its a clean slate, Garetts and Marinelli all gone new coaching staff key new ST coach , great draft, good FA market , and no one in our division is a huge threat ie 2 weaker teams to beat up on and the Eagles /Cowboys are a coin flip each year on whos better and not many repeat b2b NFCE winners..So odds are we win the division this year if you add we are every other year team and our down year was last year.. so I say we easily can be top 5 in the NFC..

I think some are banking on the coaching change as the improvement and while I do like McC over Garrett, I don't see an upgrade over the other staff with this one. I see a lot of spin about the DC and wonder what the hell they're looking at because I don't see it and the D/ST are the reason this team missed the playoffs last season.
You don't think the current coaching staff is better than the last coaching staff?

:huh:
