Next season will be hilarious.
Dak Prescott at QB with a broken body and a nobody as Head Coach.

Ohhhhhhh.....Kay....
We beat the Commanders once and should have the second time with a team full of backups. We beat the Bucs with same team of scrubs. Minnesota was all smoke and mirrors. If we return to normal health next year there is no reason we can't compete with those teams. Lions and Eagles are clearly ahead of us,, but any given day.

Not quite that bad. They have Dak Prescott (I know, I know), CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Jake Ferguson, Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland, Brandon Aubrey, good enough safeties, and hopefully Trevon Diggs and DeMarvion Overshown at some point next season.

This is not a full-blown rebuild. There are plenty of pieces here already.
The Cowboys are bottom half of the league with a first year head coach that no other team requested to interview and a $60 million a year, aged 32 quarterback coming off a second major injury. Their schedule next season includes 10 games against teams that made the playoffs this season. And you’re touting “good enough safeties” and two guys that “hopefully” return to form. The pieces “here already” are not winning more than five games.

The team needs a “full-blown rebuild”.

Talking to the hand.
Sounds all in but it's all ifs

You can wish, hope, pray, even use some voodoo and Dungeon and Dragon magic, but this is the NFL.

Other teams are not going to sit on their B-hinds while you are putting your plan together. Ask Booger. He had the perfect plan for 30 years. How many rings did he get?

We went 12-5 three years in a row…I believe second best record over that time period. It isn’t out of the question.

How about some playoff wins? Yeah we ain't sniffing even that for a long time. Brian is a 6 win coach at best. Philly and Commies have already lapped us.

So the selling championship has already begun, is this what they spent the last 2 days doing, getting the PR and marketing and statements ready. Imagine trying to sell a SB quickly, only in Jerry’s world, last clown said he knew how to win championships, now it’s a quick turnaround. Must be the osmosis factor
I always find this kind of comment funny. Every team and new coach says these kinds of things. Do we expect them to say the team will struggle for a few years?

If they had integrity they would say it’s not an instant fix we have a lot of problems. It’s the Jerry factor that makes it hard to make a case for the sunshine selling

So no NFL team has integrity ...

In any case, he didn't say it was an "instant fix" or that it would be easy, nor did he give guarantees. In fact, when asked about winning quickly he said that's the "challenge".

And it's not as if notable turnarounds are unprecedented. The Eagles had 2 straight losing seasons before winning the SB in Pederson's 2nd years as coach. SF was 17-47 in the 4 seasons before they got to the SB in 2019.

And let's not pretend the NFL isn't a business that sells itself to the fans/customers.
