First off, to be clear, I believe Dallas should do everything it can to move on from Greg Zuerlein. I think he's in decline and it's not likely to reverse with him having a couple of back surgeries the past few years.
However, I think the Cowboys will justify keeping him, though, because:
1) We went 12-5, won the division and made the playoffs ... so the Cowboys could believe that his mistakes did not cost us anything, after all he did not miss a kick in the playoff game.
2) They consider him to still be clutch because he didn't miss a kick in that playoff game and I'm not sure he missed any "with the game on the line." (Of course, since we finished 12-5, those kicks he missed when the game was not on the line will be overlooked.
3) As was mentioned earlier, he was coming off offseason back surgery, so the Cowboys could believe that he'll return to form a year removed from it.
4) Bones Fassel is in his corner.
