They have actually moved up this list. I believe they were 21, 16, and now #1. Lamb, Diggs, and Parsons in subsequent years will change that for you.
I am referring to numerous media outlets over the last 15 years saying Dallas has a talented roster. All hype and no substance. I hope these players are different, however the FO is not. Time will tell.

Absolutely hate any ranking of talent. What a useless metric.

That’s even worse than playing with no desire. McCarthy said the team looked nervous. Once we got punched in the mouth we folded like a cheap suit in front of our home crowd. It’s become a waste of time trying to earn a home playoff game.

yep….because of punks like cooper, Collins, Gregory, Connor Williams.

good riddance!

There has been many years where the Cowboys had talent if you want to define talent as natural ability and skill. Jerry Jones always took advantage of the fact that there is no salary cap on scouting, research, and resources. His coaches have usually been very well paid and he has provided the cutting edge facilities for training.

They have to make those history defining plays that get them there. There has just been too many "almost" moments.

I'm not going to get into some poetic definition of what they are missing, someone has to make those missing plays. We can blame this guy or that each time it happens but the fact that it always seems to happen means there is something missing. They need to find it.

There is no way you can discount the cowboys being voted most talent under 25. It’s a good thing. Especially since the youth movement has been their strategy.

cry about something else. Not this.

Most years, Football Outsiders' rankings of teams with the most talent under 25 years old are settled by the value of their young quarterbacks. But 2022 is different.

Joe Burrow just led the Bengals on an unexpected Super Bowl run in his second season. But after entering the league at 24 years old, Burrow already graduated from consideration in this exercise.

A meaningless bit of info unless they go on a long run of playoff success.

Well…. So much for an under the radar season. Commence the overhype and Jerry World Hollywoodmania that sucks up our young guys and give them Bigheads before they even win anything.

You’re in denial if you’re not putting any of the blame on the players. That was an uninspired Cowboys team from the opening kick off. The reason the fan base is so angry and there’s been a lack of excitement for the start of this season is because of how flat we were for that game. All we did the entire game was miss tackles and not show an ounce of urgency. We were terrible on both sides of the ball and got our butts handed to us in the trenches. There’s a reason we moved on from several players. It doesn’t matter who the head coach is we see the same lackluster results. We simply don’t play with a purpose.

Who picked those players? Who coaches them?

Players don't draft/hire themselves, and this team hasn't done anything in the playoffs since the 90s. The problem isn't the players.

If you look around the league it actually is not that difficult to see that Dallas has a very nice assortment of young players. I actually think #1 for players under 25 is not an outrageous assertion.
