I am going to define “a breakout season” as this: Reaching at least the Conference championship game or better for the first time in a quarter century.
So with that definition in mind, I’m going to list 3 reasons why we WILL have a breakout year, followed by 3 reasons we won’t have a breakout season.
3 REASONS WHY WE WILL
3 REASONS WHY WON’T
- Dak’s return plus a healthy offensive line for a full season makes this offense more potent than ever.
- Big Mac makes better in game decisions and Kellen Moore has grown after his first year as OC into an excellent offensive mind.
- The addition of Dan Quinn as a quality DC plus adding Parsons’ athleticism, plus the growth of several other rookies makes this defense come together late in the season to become a physical, tough defense just in time for the playoffs.
What you think? Give me your reasons why we will have a breakout season or 3 reasons why we won’t.
- The OL (specifically Tyron Smith) cannot stay healthy, thus making the offense constantly shuffling different OL combos making it difficult for the O to gain continuity and confidence.
- The soft culture and lack of toughness fostered by the Jones meddling continues and the team folds when times get tough.
- The new defense and its new infusion of youth never get it together and it continues to not get TOs, sacks or pressure. Bottom third of the league again in performance.
Big Reasons Why we Will Break Out:
1 Healthy
2 Team Discipline
3 Leadership
4 Quality Depth
5. Added dimensions (vastly improved D” + turnovers, More speed/Physicality on both side of ball, 2019/20 Dak with 2016-like Zeke, much better RB usage)
Big Reasons Why we Won’t:
1) major key Injuries we cannot overcome- (particular to starting QB)
2) If players lack of effort- quits/stops fighting
3) Lack of quality backup QB per injury
4) Coaching failure: bad HC decisions, asst. failures,
5) Lack of Discipline –self-destructive turnovers, penalty-riddled, team always playing from behind
