This is so true. It goes back a long time. This isn't anything new.

Personally I always thought he was overrated. When he was at SI they made him out to be this big football guru. I didn't particularly care for him then and that was before I knew he was a Cowboy hater.

he is no guru!
We are the gurus!

Seems more than fair. The entire AFC playoff bracket this year could be better than the Cowboys.

Shut yo mouf!

Last offseason, despite the Cowboys shipping out Amari Cooper, the team was typically in the top eight or so of the rankings and considered a valid Super Bowl contender. This week, post draft, we have a power ranking from veteran NFL observer Peter King, and the Cowboys have slipped down to tenth in his ranking.


Whatever you think of the ranking, there is some interesting reasoning here about the Cowboys. Their offense can be on fire for long stretches, and along with a top-notch defense, they can rack up back-to-back 12-win seasons. But once they hit the playoffs against the 49ers, the offense fizzles.

The other side of that thinking might have been about Dak Prescott. The Cowboys likely believe, and with some pretty solid history to back them up, that Prescott will not be so careless with the football as he was in 2022. Not all of those interceptions were his fault, but he put the ball in danger too many times. The Cowboys are counting on him not making that mistake a second year in a row.

Other things about this ranking of note. King has the Eagles as the solid number one in his rankings over their Super Bowl nemesis, the Chiefs. Interestingly, King has teams like the Lions at number six, and the Dolphins at number eight. Even the Aaron Rodgers-led Jets have jumped to number nine. All that seems pretty bullish on some teams who are just now entering the upper echelons of the league.

Not knocking your contribution to this house, but just in general I dont have much respect for most Cowboy analyzers, have more respect from some of the poster opinion here, there are many here that know a lot more than the so called experts.
