How High is the Bar for Cowboys?

...Dallas will win games because of their offense in 2017, just as they did in 2016, and the defense will have to do enough to pull their weight. In essence, not much has changed since last season. The defense is younger this year, though they have more athleticism. The hope is that it will be lead to more turnovers, which is key in Rod Marinelli’s scheme.

Last year was nice, but much more is expected in 2017. Just getting to the playoffs doesn’t seem like it’s enough, the Cowboys will have to win a playoff game or two for it to be deemed a successful season. Cowboys fans expect greatness, even more so when they’ve seen it the previous year, so there is more work to be done. Call it the Dak and Zeke effect.

We are way too far out to start making predictions, but the bar is set pretty high for the 2017 Dallas Cowboys. Check back in before the start of the season to find out if the expectations still exist after training camp. Until then, most Cowboys fans will be reaching for the stars.

Im a fan. I'm here to have fun and watch the games. I think we'll win our division
and I think we'll win the Conference Championship.
If we go further [SB] I'm dancing in the street.
Acceptable or unacceptable isn't on my mind.

The Cowboys' bar has been on an incrementally steady rise for about the last few years now. I'm expecting it to be raised again during this coming season and beyond. The defense should get a nice shot in the arm in 2017 and I think another raising of the bar is yet to follow in 2018, unless I've inadvertently missed my guess. It's a process, like JG says. Here's hoping Jerry gets a firm grip on Will McClay and keeps him in house.

Anything short of a super bowl victory is unacceptable. You don't play for consolation prizes.

I'll buy that, but only if one roots for it to happen...all season long. Instead of waiting behind an excuse for not truly supporting until the team meets their own value, no matter what.
