Terrance Williams will be one of the top #2 receivers in the league this season.

Hope so.

There are a bunch of good ones. But off the top of my head, I can only think of a few that are way up there:
Alshon Jeffery (or Marshall)
Roddy White
Wes Welker
Desean Jackson (or Garçon)
Randal Cobb
Steve Smith (or Torrey )
Michael Floyd

And then a bunch with 2013 numbers more like T Williams

Anyway, I like his odds of doing well.

We will:

1.) Have a last place schedule in 2015 - think 2016 playoffs
2.) Have a better draft position - think impact starters in 2015

The "First Lady of QB" in Dallas is the prettiest in football.

Marinelli, Dez, OLine

I always get excited seeing how new rookies do in their first year. I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised by DeMarcus Lawrence, maybe not right away, but by the end of the year. And while no Sean Lee, I think Hitchens will prove to be capable at least by years end.

Also think Wilcox will improve quite a bit.

I think we are starting to get rid of a lot of the anchors on the team. I hate to say it, but I think with Lee's injury history he is one of them. I think if the contract stipulations are what the media is claiming, Lee will essentially be replaced next year and now we are rid of injury prone players in Ware, Ratliff, Miles Austin and Lee.

I'm looking forward to the running game. I really like DeMarco and I think Ryan Williams may be a steal for us. With Dunbar coming back we can do a lot of things in the running game and take less pressure off of Romo.

I like Romo's zest to come back this year. He seems to have a little more pep in his step...chomping at the bit to get back to playing.

I like our receivers. Love Dez and Beasley. Think T-Will can make some major strides. I think so can Escobar. And there's always Jason Witten.

I like the Fullback from out of LSU. He has good mobility and can catch the ball. And at 270 pounds...I think he'll make linebackers wince at trying to tackle the RB.

I'm looking forward to seeing Matt Johnson. I'm still impressed by his YouTube videos in college. Great closing speed, hits like a truck, nose for the ball.

Interested in seeing Wilcox with a year under his belt and McClain.

And I'm always looking for the young, unknown player who acts like he belongs there and plays unafraid and earns himself a spot on the roster.

This is the year we figure out how to run a screen pass. At least I hope it is.....

The media has been bashing the defense hard since the season ended, and rightfully so.

However, from what I have been hearing (well not from here) is that the defense that is getting put together this year are some scrappy guys that want to get rid of that taste in their mouth! And, I have no doubt that Marinelli is going to let that happen, again. When someone takes away your "pride"...in some or most cases, you better watch out!

Some young, dumb and full of piss and vinegar hungry players can make a world of difference because of pride.

I loved Ware, but he was not nasty! I loved the Rat, but he infected the defense. I loved Hatcher, but if he wanted to jump ship to a rival, he can kiss my ***! Spencer IMO, is only here for a paycheck.

Locker room influence. I'm hearing that the defense is bonding, perhaps trying to figure out a way to get that stigma of being LAST IN THE FRIGGEN NFL! Pride...Cowboy pride.

Can they do it? Who knows. Casserly was on NFLN saying that the players that the Cowboys lost this season, that they could be WORSE than last year (which the same fans on here say, as usual)...but, I don't believe it.

I'm not to worried about the offense. The oline is young dumb and full of....and Romo is the question mark, but I think he has something to prove also. Pride...

The Cowboys most likely will not win the SB...but they also will not be the laughing stock that the media and our loving fans on this forum like to berate on a daily basis. I really do think that with the tough schedule, the Cowboys will rise to the occasion and at least put up a damn fight, and if they lose, the other team is going to walk off the field with some respect for the Dallas Cowboys.

Pride is a hell of a motivator.

I am most excited about two things:

1) Linehan, and can he utilize all of the tools at his disposal - some of that will also depend on how well the OL is coached (don't forget that our OL coach was demoted; he's a professional, so I am not worried)...Other than the normal stuff, I want to see a screen pass, I want to see Escobar catching the ball around 15 to 20 yards out, I am REALLY excited to see if Dunbar can be healthy and what his true "change of pace" speed can do for the team (if utilized)
2) Will the DL apply pressure? I can't wait to see...if they do, and allow the back 7 to cover, then the D will minimally be passable...if they can be a middle of the road group (16-20 range), then the Offense gets more opportunities....pretty excited to see a "team" effort in trying to win games

I am excited about Scooper's enthusiasm out of the gate and I'd like to see what a healthy Dunbar can do.

The oline should be better and help the running game. I want to see the team being balanced and am excited that it may finally happen. The offense can help shield the defense.

As an aside, being a fan and a fanatic are not the same. A fanatic isn't rational a fan can be. :)

I'm excited about the youth of the team overall. Especially the D-Line. I think the door has closed on the players brought in during Parcell's era, seems only Romo and Witten remain. All these young guys are hungry and will strive to make their mark. I'm loving what I'm reading about DeMarcus Lawrence. For 1st time in a long time I'm looking forward to this season.

I'm excited that we brought in an actual coach, who knows how to get his RBs involved and create mismatches.
