The OP didn't ask what we could be but what we thought they are at this point. They could be the best, they could miss the playoffs.How can anyone possibly say this. We have the talent and now possibly the coach to put it all together. I think we could be the best team in the NFC.
I look at the teams that were ahead of them last season and ask did they decline? Did the Cowboys really improve? The answer comes back no and don't know so I have them at 6 or 7 in the NFC.
The one thing we do know is that it seldom ends up like we think it will in the NFC, always at least one surprise and disappointment.
I think some are banking on the coaching change as the improvement and while I do like McC over Garrett, I don't see an upgrade over the other staff with this one. I see a lot of spin about the DC and wonder what the hell they're looking at because I don't see it and the D/ST are the reason this team missed the playoffs last season. Do those teams that ended up ahead of the Cowboys have better or worse coaches than the Cowboys? I like McC OK, he was the pick of the litter for me, but I would take NO, SF, SEA, LAR, MIN, PHL and maybe GB's and TB's HC's over him.
Change was necessary but that does not mean it was good.
