Those are more hopeful aspirations than anything else.
I honestly don't know which , if any of these will come true.
I could say it's why I watch the games to if they happen.

If I'm being completely unemotional and not homering or hating here is my honest, unemotional answers.
1. Buy
2. Not, he'll be better than last year but not up to form to justify contract or even RB1
3. Not
4. Not. This is more stubbornness of coaches and not a reflection of TP's abilities.
5. Not
6. Not
7. Not
8. Not
9. Buy
10. Buy
11. Buy
12. Buy
13. Buy
14. Buy
15. Buy
16. Buy
17. Not

I feel Dak will have a more productive year, Zeke will be better but his best days are behind him and the offensive line will be top 5 which will help Dak and Zeke's production. The team is still the best team in the division. Unless we really drop the ball we'll win the division and go to the playoffs. Eagles and Commanders will give us more competition but we should win the division unless we choke, but it won't be a cakewalk like last year. We'll make the playoffs and be unprepared to play and get beat by a less talented team and the frustration will continue.

There will be many more sales points made starting in TC. We will be told on a daily basis that Zeke is looking quick and “in the best shape of his life”, Dak is more accurate, the Jones will tell us they’ve finally found the secret sauce, they have the best bit coin deal in the league, yada, yada, yada.

JJ will buy 100% because those are all his players, his team, his coaches, his jocks and socks…etc. It’s the main reason why the owner also being the GM is an inherently bad idea.

Then they'll either miss the playoffs entirely or get bounced in the first round. Can't wait. :popcorn:

I'm going to make what will probably be an unpopular comparison here.

The 2008 Cowboys were a star-studded group that was supposed to win it all and they cratered. In 2009 they dumped a lot of "name" players and nobody expected them to do squat; yet they won 11 games and ended a long playoff drought by routing the Eagles in the wild card round.

The 2022 Cowboys could be another example of addition via subtraction. Only time will tell.

The key phrase there about 2009 unfortunately was, “…in the wild card round.” I like what you’re thinking but it’s been a loooooong time since this team did anything of consequence in the playoffs.

I’ll buy #10…maybe. That’s the only one I think has a realistic chance to come to fruition.
