Humbling.
That is what reading your preseason prediction column one year later can be. Roughly 365 days ago, I wrote my best prediction about the 2014 Dallas Cowboys season. In it, you can find the following:
My major issues with the Cowboys are QB health, troubling depth, defense, defense, and more defense. They just don't seem to have the quality that they had even last year as far as top players on the defense you can point to. Instead, we are hoping that Melton, Bruce Carter, and Mo Claiborne can all bounce up at the same time. That is a lot of hope. And hope is a very poor strategy.
I think if everything goes right and Romo plays in 16 games, they can out perform my projections and win 8 or maybe even 9. But, if Romo plays in just 10 games, they could easily drop down to 5-11 or even 4-12.
I expect that 2014 will finally be the end of Jason Garrett, but I don't say that with much confidence, nor do I think it will change much unless Jerry is ready to hire another Parcells-like overlord. And from the sounds of his many interviews, it doesn't seem like he is the least bit interested in that. However, I do confidently say that another off-season of poor decision making and cap management in spring 2014 from the Cowboys has me no longer buying what they are selling.
