The Cowboys have been a mess over the years. Jerry trying his best to get one more super bowl out of the aging dynasty in the 90's and robbing from the future to do it along with poor planning. Since those times we've been predominantly a mess. Sure Parcells saved the team from the depths of NFL abyss with the likes of the Raiders and Jags. But outside of unearthing one Tony Romo, his team reached it's peak under the more lax Wade Phillips, while on game day during 2007 the more lax atmosphere and more chancy playcalling the team looked poised to be a championship team. But the culture started to slip, things just weren't right, and you could see it in their inconsistencies until they bottomed out in 2010. I was really happy with last years success, and while that in itself leads to quite a bit of optimism, watching that press conference of our newest UDFA, something really stood out. The leadership of this team was fundamental in courting Collins. Some of those guys are barely more than kids, especially those guys on the line. I'm just floored by the guy really. The fact that a guy like this who could go anywhere he wanted to go, but thinks that this group of guys is what gives him a chance to be his best, just reinforced what a strong and powerful culture is here right now. Something special is brewing here in Dallas.
