ESPN ranks Dallas Cowboys roster just outside of top 5

[Floatyworm]

I am surprised they have them that high. Not that they do not deserve to be that high. But because it is ESPN.

This team has more talent than many fans want to admit. However, I will still not get over excited at this point.
In 4 weeks we will see it all start to be put together.

This team is way closer to the bottom than most want to admit. If 88 gets hurt....this offense is absolutely screwed.
Defensively....Got a bad feeling you are going to see us lose a lot of time of possession battles because Zimmer is a Jerry hire....that loves to be conservative on defense. Hoping teams commit mistakes....bend but don't break defenses is what got Zimmer run out of Minnesota.

We haven't lost that many key players. Tyron was probably the most important, but he's not exactly Mr. Reliability when it comes to his health (last season was better, yes, but you know what I mean).

So as far as regular season success goes, they should be close to last year.

Just like with post season defeat.

Not if you truly understand football and what happened during the game and why.

Especially, if you understand.

 

[Kevinicus]

Stephen’s son would’ve won that game if he was GB’s QB the defense was so awful. Tough winning in the playoffs with a one dimensional offense.

This is why no one takes you seriously.

Dak bots are so funny

This is not about Dak. You were warned already.

Especially, if you understand.

Clearly, you don't.

These polls don't amount to crap. The Vegas odds are somewhat close.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

You cannot discuss the Cowboys offense objectively without pointing out their weakness at quarterback.
Get over it.

I was about too say "the anyone but Dak theory".

 

[Ranching]

I think they’re trying to upset the fan base somehow. Some ulterior motive probably

Out fanbase is very patient and would never question our FO!

We're discussing the roster, nit the offense.

 

[Montanalo]

That ranking seem a bit higher than I would have thought.

Sure, we have a fairly talented team. The DB, TE are well above average. The OL and LB seems well-positioned for a rebuild. The weak link for me is the DL. We lost a lot along the defensive line this offseason.

LAST WARNING THIS IS ABOUT THE ROSTER. NOT TO BASH DAK.
YES HE IS ON THE ROSTER, BUT KEEP THE NORMAL ARGUMENTS OUT OF IT

 

[stiletto]

It doesn't matter how high the roster is ranked. The current high profile personnel (insert name) is generally going to disappear come the playoffs. You can pretty much insert any name in there and it would be correct.

 

[Flamma]

Dallas has a good defense. But a very questionable run game, A really good possession WR, and a decent WR2. That's top 5?

It's sad because if you build a really good run game, you can go far with any average QB. The looks you get when dropping back to pass are much better. Hell, the Jets went to the AFC title game two years in a row with that. Mark Sanchez was the QB.

 

[Kevinicus]

Clearly, you don't.

Only one of us has tried to defend either Dak or the defense that day.

It ain't me.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

But a very questionable run game,

Honestly......this isn't an issue they couldn't fix or improve but it's obvious they intentionally want it average or below par. In other words, there is a difference between building a good running vs just having one. They have chosen the latter coz it appears they aren't interested in helping Dak no more than they have to.

Yes..otherwise, you would have walked long ago. You are not a fair weather fan.

Id say its more stubborness.
