Despite what many think, future is bright

MajesticRey · Jan 25, 2022

It’s funny how people here think being over the cap means the sky is falling, as if Dallas (or any team for that matter) hasn’t had cap issues before and gotten under the cap by the deadline.

If the situation were reversed and had tons of cap room, people here would be malding because we overspent on a player (internal or free agency) - see: Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, Demarcus Lawrence, Zeke, etc. I know Cooper was a trade but he still costs tons of money for a WR.

The guys we lose in Free Agency are not worth the cost it would be to keep them anyway. Like Gallup… dude is a solid receiver and a favorite of mine. I hope we can keep him, but if he costs too much money then I am NOT in favor of overcompensating a guy coming off a huge injury that might not even be ready by the season opener.

I’m less worried about the cap situation and more worried about the draft. If we don’t draft OL first round, expect another season like 2021 or worse. Dak will be running around like a headless chicken versus playoff teams and Zeke will be averaging 2.5-3 YPC while Pollard comes in for only 5 runs/game.

When you look at the landscape of the division and the future of the conference, Cowboys future looks bright:

-NFC East teams outside of Cowboys still look bad.
-NFC South-could have 4 rebuilding teams when Brady/Ryan retire
-NFC North-worse then the NFC East after Rodgers leaves or retires. Fields/Goff don't scare anyone.
-NFC West-Stafford is at the end of his career, Wilson probably departs, Murray/Lance

There is no reason to believe the Cowboys cannot be a playoff team with a high seed for many years to come, barring injuries. Yes, I still believe that Dak is good enough to win a SB in this league, despite all the hate he receives on this board.

After 27 years of non-glory, we have resorted to hoping the rest of the NFC is garbage.
We have indeed dropped to new lows ......
Cowboys.... Kings of the garbage bin....... :facepalm:

We can perform well against the bad teams of the NFL which is about 18-20 in total. We will continue to struggle against the top echelon teams with strong defenses who can put pressure on Dak. We will be in cap hell for as long as he is with the team so don't look for any SB appearances in the next 5 years for sure. Dak is not Wilson and he seems to regress more with each passing year.

We won't go 6-0 in the division next year.
The Eagles (3), Giants (2), & Washington (1) have 6 picks before our first pick in the upcoming draft.

Yes.

But look at their track record on recent draft picks.

i wouldn't even go that far we are good, period we have the talent to be in the playoffs just need to clean up the mistakes, the future is bright but need to get better reduce penalties and mistakes. changes are needed to the OL, OLC and possibly the play calling.

fans make light if the east, but we didn't just go undefeated we stole their soles averaged like 40PPG and had an insane differential.

against the better teams sure like 6-5 but those games were close and the mistakes cost us.i mean losing by 2, to TB sb champs on the road, 3 to raiders when we got hosed by the refs, 3 to az more questionable calls/Non calls, 6 to 9ers when we played poorly and once again penalties shot ourselves in the foot,. 10 to the KC chiefs sb runner up on the road and our defense held them in check better than the bills defense.

im more encouraged by our losses to these better teams because clean up even say half the mistakes and those are easy wins. we have the talent but far too many mental mistakes creating penalties.

its not what other situations are its what we are and im encouraged that if we can clean those mistakes up we can be sb contender.

Although I can see this perspective of the OP, I still cant get past Visionary's first response of which I agree wholeheartedly.

Koolaid keg stand!!!! Like another poster said, you are diminishing other squads and finding favor in the club you are a fan of.

Optimism is something every team owner likes in a fan. Goooo Cowboys!

1. It doesn’t take long for this landscape to change

look at the afc. Herbert, burrows, Allen etc. they’ve been in the league for a very short amount of time. The same can and probably will happen in the nfc.

2. I agree w @visionary - this team cannot win with the current coach / qb setup. Qb isn’t going anywhere, so we need new coaches for now.

disagree..how's that for opinions we all have them, and no one can prove whos correct and who's not.

The objective is not to make the playoffs. The objective is to win a super bowl. This team has no chance as constructed and the talent base will continue to erode as the team comes to terms with the consequences of Dak's rich contract. Dak is 1-3 in playoffs games over his career and was 1-5 this year against playoffs teams not in Philly. So, I'm not sure from what your hope emanates. Dak is going into his 7th season next year trying to prove he's more than a paper tiger who pads his stats against bad teams and in garbage time.

Future is “bright” yo stay “relevant “

Future is pitch dark for any realistic hope to win a SB. There is no way that the current coaches with Dak have ANY shot at winning a SB

Pitch darkness way too far

dak was or our team was, stop putting this all on the qb, Allen played near perfect game and lost, why his defense failed him that's why. his ST coach failed him. Either way both didn't make the SB!

and yet only two teams make the sb yearly. get over it its not paper champions we lost games to those allegedly much better teams by 2, 3, 3, 10, 6 points not like we were outclassed we lost because we made far too many mistakes to overcome but we were every bit as talented and that's a fact , final score slim margin less then score says so.. in fact, we made so many mistakes and still barely lost says we might be betted, clean up penalties and that 6-5 record against teams with better records are wins.

so keep posting negativity we will come in and piss on it the way you piss on positive fans.

Loso86 · Jan 25, 2022

I love how this fan base gets excited, then we lose like the other 31 teams and then its ALWAYS Doomsday around here. Yea it's been a LOOONG 26 plus years! However I remeber the horrible years in the late 90s and early 2000s. I wonder how we'd all feel just winning 4 and 5 games every year?!. We could be the lions etc lol. Don't give me the we are in the same boat as the lions and jets blah blah!

Big_D · Jan 25, 2022

“Future is bright” and Jerry don’t go together!

John813 · Jan 25, 2022

I think this team will continue to be regular season contenders, aka making it via the division champs or wildcard. But IMO that's where it ends.

I don't see a future that bright to where they can actually be contenders once they make it, at least as currently constructed from top (FO) to bottom (roster).

They will restructure to continue to dream that they can win now and try to retain some talent. But, I'm convinced it goes deeper than the roster construction and even the coaches on the team.

Bobhaze · Jan 25, 2022

At this point, I would have to say the hope of the future lies on one of two plans:

The Broken Clock Plan- you know- where the time is right 2 times in 24 hrs.
The Blind Squirrel Finds A Nut Plan- 100% luck.

Both are pretty much based on luck.

Despite what many think, future is bright
