Video: Cowboys fans handling Romo retirement, until they realize they still have Dak

Not me. We're a worse team (we won't win the division this year), we didn't get anything, Romo won't get a ring, and the Patriots have a cakewalk in the AFC.

Why do I gotta believe that?

I think the offense will be worse, this year. Leary is gone, and he is a significant loss, even if people don't want to believe it. Right tackle is up in the air. Teams will adjust and Dak won't be as lucky (it takes luck to only have 4 INTs, typically there will be more that are not the fault of the QB - tipped passes, etc.). That's all assuming no significant injuries. Nothing on defense indicates "better."

I'd love to be wrong, but I don't see it. I think the team squandered the best shot at a title last year, and this year at least will be a drop-off.

I think a year of experience will be big for Dak and Zeke. Dez will be healthy and I believe the O-line will be solid with more experience. The defense has a chance to be better if we have a good draft and pick up a couple of veteran DBs. Revis, Flowers or Robey at CB and Williams, Blanton, Ihenacho, Rambo or Thomas at strong safety wouldn't be much of a a drop off, if any. The defense desperately needs an infusion of talent and this is the perfect draft to do it.

If they make some solid signings and have a good defensive draft, I'll feel better about that. We'll see.

I'm not expecting some big jump from Zeke. I already thought he was the MVP of the league last year. He's a running back, the learning curve isn't all that great there. The coaches could do well to get him more involved passing though. The OL should be solid, but still not as good. And while I think Dak might be a better player, I think other teams will adjust more and he will have less luck. Combined with the OL, and it's not as good of a year.
