One of the hardest schedules and not stringing two great seasons together in a row for a long time should do it for you

My thinking is this:

Even if he busts, as you fear, they should still get something from him, right?

And they should get something from Charles Tapper if he hits the field as well.

And that's something that they didn't have last year for their pass rush.

So, however small even the biggest pessimist sees things, they should be better in some way.

Just playing Devils advocate here...but it's not a far stretch to get close to zero from Taco and Tapper..happens all the time where first round picks offer absolutely nothing..I'm not suggesting that I think that will happen...but I do think it's a stretch to say worst case scenario is a small impact but more than nothing

I'll respectfully disagree.

I think it's an enormously far stretch to say that this team will get "close to zero" from either one, much less both.

Ridiculous in fact.

How can you say that? There's a laundry list of players drafted in the first round that says otherwise..again, I don't think it happens...but it happens every year

I'm not usually the most "glass half full" fan and most of you guys know that (all too well!), but in looking at this team, what they accomplished in 2016, their youth, and the players they're adding in both the draft and free agency, my hopes are SKY HIGH!

I'm just seeing signs for improvement and reasons for optimism each and every place I look.

I need a dose of reality from some fellow fans to tell me what I should be worried about. (Other than backup QB, that one might be legit based on the Romo, no-Romo beliefs)

But the more I look at this team, the more excited for what they can be in 2017 and beyond I get.

Someone talk me out of it!

Keep it up, stash. Ceiling is the roof!

I can't find a whole lot not to be optimistic about. Admittedly, I am more of a glass half full kind of guy though.

Worry about the defense. Don't sugar coat it. The psss rush was non existant and didn't resign the secondary. The secondary was over all dang good, considering the lack of pressure. We still to date do not have a stud pass rusher on the roster. I like the draft, but I will believe the defense will be better when I see it.

You have no idea whether we have a stud pass rusher on the roster. None of us have seen Taco or Tapper on the field. We don't have a proven one, but we still could end up with one or two.

I guess you'd have to show me there first rounders that contribute the "absolutely nothing". Much less two of them in both Charlton and Tapper.

Was really hoping this thread started with, "I'm going to jump..."

I think a lot of people expected great seasons in 2008,2010, and 2015 following great seasons only to be let down.

In 2008 they still went 9-7 and that's even with Romo missing some games that season

The future is bright but there will be growing pains in the secondary
That said, I expect another playoff season

How about marcus smith of the Eagles? 26th pick in the draft..didn't even register a tackle the entire season...couldn't even get on the active roster for the first half of the year..and he wasn't injured

JBS · May 13, 2017

How about Laquan Treadwell? This guy caught one pass his entire rookie season lol..this guy was considered by many the best WR in the draft..top 25 pick last year

diefree666 · May 13, 2017

With a much tougher schedule, and you cannot expect Dak to only have a couple of picks this year, and the time it will take for a very young secondary to gell, and the unknown of injuries, It is fair to say we might only win 10 games and yet have a better team overall by January.

The margins in the NFL are very thin.

Health is huge.

Other than that the team should be good. Really looking forward to the season outside of the fact there are so many late games.
