So, we will have 2 new starting WR, 2 new starting offensive tackles, a new starting LG, 1 new starting DE and Jerry really thinks it matters if Tyron gets healthy for the playoffs. LOL, just LOL.......Get ready for no first round pick next year, Payton will be the Cowboys HC. History has repeated its self, he hired 3 moron HCs in between Jimmy and Bill, now he has done the same since Bill cause if he doesn't it's his *** on the line in the media.
Terrence Steele is hardly a new starter. In two years on the team, Steele has started 24 of 33 regular season games. He may not have been listed on the depth chart as the starter, but he started 24 games in replacing injured starters La'el Collins and Tyron Smith over the past two seasons. Certainly, he hasn't proven to be a star, but he's been able to start at the Pro level. Also, if the Cowboys didn't have confidence that McGovern was ready to become a starter in his 4th year on the team, then they wouldn't have been so willing to allow Connor Williams leave. So, while he is a "new" starter, it's not as if he hasn't played at the NFL level.
Also, CeeDee Lamb is not a new starter, and Michael Gallup (barring additional injury) will likely be back for the 3rd game of the season, and be available to start 15 of 17 games. That isn't "2 new starting WR." If you include being the 3rd WR as being a starter, then James Washington has also "started" games in the NFL, and he'll likely be back for the 2nd half of the season.
NFL teams have to deal with injuries - all NFL teams. Declaring that the sky is falling because the Cowboys have experienced some unfortunate injuries is very premature. The Cowboys drafted Tyler Smith to eventually replace Tyron Smith. Because he wasn't a top 10 pick like Tyron, I doubt anyone - including the Cowboys brain trust - expects Tyler Smith to be as good as Tyron has been the last 12 seasons. But it isn't necessary for Tyler Smith to be the best Tackle in the league - a status conferred by many on Tyron Smith during portions of his career - in order for Tyler Smith to be competent. I'm more worried about penalties with Tyler Smith than I am about him being unable to handle pass rushers.
As for missing Amari Cooper, it is time for Dak to prove his value. Great QB's, like Brady, Rodgers, and even lesser QB's like Romo have proven they can win with middle level talent at the WR position. Either Dak is good enough to achieve with average to above average talent in his receiving corps, or he isn't. If he's not, then the Cowboys don't have much of a chance of getting to the Super Bowl anyway. Both CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup were #1 receivers in college. So was 3rd round pick Jalen Tolbert. The Cowboys have a 1st round pick, and three 3rd round pick WR's on the roster. They have what appears to be at least two good options at Tight End in Shultz and Ferguson, and Hendershot is a comer. They have two starting level RB's that are both good receivers. Heck, even Terrence Steele caught a TD pass from Prescott last year. There are plenty of receiving options for the Cowboys. If Dak isn't good enough to take advantage of his options, that is on Dak - not the front office.
