Cowboys Overall Talent Level

[haleyrules]

We will see about how fast the Defense grows. Everything depends on the growth of the Defense. Its all important. Give the CLub 2 or 3 yrs to win that gloriuos 6th SB. Hope is everything.

We don't have the D of that team.

Yeah they are better and more proven at every level of that D with hindsight on your side. The DL was obviously better, as of now. LBs, well they did have Ken Norton, can't say Lee is better or a guy like Jaylon measures up when he hasn't played a down of pro football. Secondary isn't close either, yet.

Sure we have potential on D, but right now thats all it is. We have hindsight on those teams, we know how good they were. We are just listening to alot of hype right now for this D, they will have to prove it on the field.......right now they don't even belong in the conversation other than perhaps potential.

 

[cowboyddrippler]

Offense as a collective group, I rate an A. Defense is a C. Although that can change if there is massive improvements compared to last year.

 

[Gameover]

All the talent in the world means nothing if you don't win championships.

Every team doesn't have the luxury of playing an era were Favre and Steve Young are the best quarterbacks and the best the AFC can offer is the beaten down Bills...

Who had 13-6 lead at half of the 2nd SB, before Thomas started fumbling and gave the game away.

Do I even have to mention how lucky we were against Pittsburgh ?!

 

[Gameover]

No way this club even stands a chance against the 92-96 cowboys.
They would get stomped so bad. You are talking about one if the best defenses ever assembled coupled with a hall of fame offense. In 1993, there 11 cowboy pro bowlers

These teams not only beat their opponents, they embarrassed them. I think the 90s Oline was just powerful if not MORE powerful than the current line, the Dline was waaaaay better, linebackers, ect

You have HOF Woodson and Thomas Everett. Comeon
Just think about what the Vikings or Giants did to last years cowboys, now give those teams the offensive power of the Falcons/ Patriots and the coaching level of the Patriots and the heart of Braveheart and defensive attitude of Ray Lewis / Vontaze Burfict on a bad day

Final Score 90s cowboys defeat 2017 cowboys 52-17

That slow *** team wouldn't scratch the scoreboard

 

[Gameover]

The 90's team get all the love from media and fans... proving 'winners' write history. Even though the late 70's teams were superior to the 90's squads. Those 90's teams wouldn't have made it to mid field vs those 70's Steelers defenses.

After the first three drives vs the 1995 Steeler defense, they didn't do jack squat

Seems to me like they scored every quarter and scored more than the steelers did. So I guess if the cowboys did "jack squat" than then the steelers did far less than "jack squat"

Special teams is the unit that we will have a hard time matching

Thank god for deep on our side of the field turnovers! Or a good int return by Larry Brown on one of the int's... Putting Michael in the slot he was able to get free on a 19 yard reception that set up a goal line TD for Emmitt.

We did nothing on O after our first three drives. #trussme

Emmitt had like 47 yards in that game. 25 of those yards came on one play. Like less than 2 yards a pop on his other 20+ carries. (Two of those carries being at the goal line)

The 90s Cowboys were young at one time too. Just because this group of Cowboys is young doesn't mean they can't play. The 90s Cowboys were great for their time but players are bigger and stronger and faster than they were then. The only real advantage the 90s Cowboys had would have been Deion Sanders and a defensive line edge.

The current group would have a significant advantage across the board on offense. It's not even close. This OL would blow the 90s group away. They are so much bigger and stronger than the 90s team. Larry Allen is the only guy who could start on this line other than Erik Williams pre accident.

Those defense were very good as a unit, but the individual players were not head and shoulders above this unit. Sean Lee was better than Any linebacker we had at that time. Jaylon if healthy is also head and shoulders above anything we had at that time.

This secondary is young. It is hard to tell at this point what we have there but we have invested the draft capital there. I think the 90s defenses were better on the DL based on what we know now but I'm not sure the 90s defense would sniff the QB against this OL.

Embarrassing.

You are so wrong on so many levels

• A young emmit smith led by dart Johnston would run all over us
• Michael Irvin and Alvin Harper > dez and twill
• Aikman> dak
• Jimmy Johnson > Garrett
• Ken norton, Darin Smith, and Dixon Edwards > lee,hitchens, and Wilbur
• Robert jones and Godfrey miles > any backup linebackers
• Darren Woodson, Thomas Everett, Brock Marion, and James Washington > all the safeties we have had from 1996-2017'and probably until 2099
• Man I'm tired of typing I could go on and on about Leon lett, Tolbert,Haley, jimmy jone, bill bates on defense, ect

I mean on defense alone it's laughable. They had a great one. What we have now are rushmen and motivational t-shirts.

Imagine that 90s OL blocking this DL? It would be complete domination.

I know bro. You don't have to convince me. Lol. It would be absolute destruction. To compare one of the nfls greatest teams ever to a team that hasn't even won a playoff game is nonsense.

It's sad how some forget how great those teams were. They were a dynasty

People have short memories. People don't realize just the Emmitt part alone, he could string multiple moves along in one run, something Zeke isn't good at yet by his own admission. Emmitt making sure he would never take a direct hit was just a gift. Sure Zeke is bigger and faster, doesn't make him better at all yet. Emmitt made guys look like idiots on the second level, we see very little of that from Zeke yet. Hopefully, as he said, he develops and works on that.

As you said, the conversation moot to me.

90s cowboys Oline second best only behind the Commander hogs in NFL history with 25 pro bowl appearances and 10 all pro honors.

@Verdict -hey bro don't wanna come across as railing on you man. I can see you are a passionate cowboys fan! This is just one of the topics we are gonna have to disagree on. Go cowboys!

Dallas is top 5 drafting team in last 5 years. That means they are top 5 talent right now. This without spending much in FA. If Dallas has strong FA signing period next year I think they become the most talented team in football. That doesn't guarantee championships but it strikes fear into rival fans and Dallas becomes team they don't want on their schedule. In other words this is gonna be fun for next few years.

Don't need 2 or 3 years. This team can win the Super Bowl THIS year.

Carr and his 0 INTs year in and year out. I also hate how he plays 10 yards back from his man giving them easy completions.
Mo and his propensity to get injured.
Church plays the run well. But is a liability in coverage.
Wilcox hits hard. But has issues with coverage and takes bad tackling angles. Doesn't play instinctively.
Teams completed over 60% of their passes against us. More than any other team in the NFL.

Awuzie, Lewis, Woods, White, maybe rookies. But I'll take them and their talent any day of the week over what we had before. Its not even close.
