Six Things We're Thinking: How Long Will Cowboys Window Remain Open?

One more reason for Jason Garrett and Company to go "all in" is that this current opportunity, with this particular constellation of individuals, isn't going to present itself again. After all, when is the next time the planets will align in the way they have this season? And here's the tough pill to swallow: with news circulating about the potential departures of Will McClay and Rod Marinelli, as well as the umpteen free agents-to-be, this might prove to be the Cowboys best shot at a title in the next ten years.

Play the starters for all 60 minutes against the Commanders? Hell yeah. There aren't many chances remaining for this group to play together, especially at this level and with this clean a bill of health. They want to seize every one they can. I don't blame them...

Tom Ryle: I'm just feeling weird and wonderful to still have meaningful Cowboys football to write about. I could get used to this, and unlike Rabs, I do think this is sustainable. I will agree that it is going to be hard to maintain the level of the current team without some setback, but I don't think it will be severe or long term. The only really crucial challenge is going to be finding the next franchise quarterback. That has the potential to derail things for several seasons, but if Romo really has three or four more seasons in him, the team should be back in the postseason very soon.

I don't care if it's only 4 more wins. You live in the moment with sports. Nothing more.
With the free agency/salary cap nothing lasts. Except New England.

 

[Staubacher]

We have a sustainable model now. We should win at least 10 games next year. I think we will become a perennial contender with a few peaks and valleys. Like the Ravens or Steelers.

this has got to be one of the worst put together bunch of fan postings ever. BTB might as well gotten posts from the rant zone and put them into a post on its blog. Do these fools realize that the core of this team is locked up for years already? if they were to lose marinelli does this group of posters realize the job that Eberflus has done with the LBer core? The one loss i think would be a blow would be McClay. But i dont think hes going anywhere just yet.

 

[VACowboy]

Man, aren't they just all roses.

 

[Pandora]

Do these fools realize that the core of this team is locked up for years already?

Perhaps you could point out which of the following players are locked up already:

Dez Bryant
DeMarco Murray
Ron Leary
Rolando McClain
Bruce Carter
Justin Durant
Cole Beasley
Dwayne Harris
Sterling Moore
Chris Jones
Lance Dunbar
Jeremy Parnell
Doug Free
Anthony Spencer
Nick Hayden
George Selvie
Tyler Clutts
Darrion Weems
C.J. Spillman

 

[Sarge]

Making predictions in the National Football League is idiotic. We had one of the worst defenses in the history of the league last year and here we are talking about the Super Bowl the very next year. Making a statement regarding the next 10 years is really quite stupid.......02

i went in hoping that this blog would bring something to the table in terms of credible info or writers. This contained nothing but thoughts of what im thinking is voices of avg fans.

 

[Eddie]

I'm enjoying the ride right now and not worrying about what's to come. I'm hoping for a successful post season which includes at least an NFC-CG appearance.

 

[Fredd]

I saw the title, read the article...and realize it was a bunch of doofus, homer fans....I could have written that piece....nothing to see here, move along, move along

 

[Risen Star]

Teams don't have windows. Players do.

The Cowboys should remain competitive as long as the QB play is so good. That doesn't have to mean as long as Romo is here. It's up to the front office to create that bridge to the next franchise QB. If they don't, it's not because their window closed. It was just poor management.

 

[SDCowboy]

The window is open as long as we have Romo and he plays at a top level. The oline and Dez will likely be here long after Romo has retired, so it largely, IMO, comes down to his window.

Unfortunately that isn't the strong point of the FO.

Had Romo gotten injured ( like last season ) & was unavailable throughout the Playoffs, idiots like this would be singing a different tune.

BTB has really declined the past couple years. Dawns posts are all whimsy, and Tom Ryle is a glorified official site writer. He comes from the Spags school of writing, guilting us into loving the team

new england only lasts because their division sucks and so does their conference.

 

[Fmart322]

Still, in the free agency/salary cap era, it's been a long run regardless their division and conference.

I normally love BTB but this is depressing. Its written in the sense that they are looking to next years postseason possibilities. Huh??

 

[Dodger12]

The window has always been open while Romo has been our QB and it will continue that way until he retires. It could be a long road after that...........
