The Cowboys Should Thank Their Lucky Stars They Are In The NFC

[Proof]

That's exactly the reason the Cowboys should think they're lucky stars.

They could beat any single AFC team in a single game elimination, but would you trust them 4 games in a row against the gauntlet of that combination of QBs?

yeah it's kind of crazy how things unfolded with buffalo losing such an incredible game against the chiefs, and then the chiefs folding to cincy. I think both buf and kc would have beaten the rams

The pathetic thing is some fans are buying it hook, line, and sinker.

The ankle will be a career long problem for Dak.

 

[mrmojo]

It will then become 'all of the afc teams knocked each other off to get there!' lol

Yup.....Back in the day the 80s, early 90s the NFC was the stronger conference, those teams had to go through a tougher gauntlet and still won the SB.

Maybe Dallas would UP their game if they were in a tougher Division

I don't predict the future. I was simply responding to someone that mentioned him as one of the 3 top QBs after the elites. He has never shown that. Not even close.

It's not even like he's like all other QBs. He's a first read/run QB in college. How many of them transitioned well in the NFL? Johnny Manziel and Tim Tebow were two of the more notable ones. Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, and Jordan Love of the current ones. The only one that has had any success improving his passing game is Lamar Jackson. And he's still not that good of a passer. It's not like the starting point is a pocket passer. Jalen is a better runner than passer. This is the NFL. Hurts isn't going to miraculously become a good pocket passer. The dude doesn't go through progressions and rolls out to his right every time the first read isn't there. It's embarrassing to watch. Will he improve in his 3rd season? Yeah, but to what? Not garbage?

Michael Vick, Randell Cummingham, Fran Tarkenton, Doug Flutie, Steve Young, John Elway. Donavan McNabb, Cam Newton

No denying that the great young QB’s are all in the AFC.

The Cowboys should take advantage of that fact.

 

[Mr_437]

It doesn't matter...fragile teams get bounced out either conference.

Could you imagine making the Wild Card game as an AFC team and having to deal with Mahomes, Allen, Herbet, Burrow, Wilson, Jackson, Carr, and then coming up the Mac Jones and Trevor Lawrence's of the world?

The NFC is the old guard with Stafford , Rodgers, and Brady holding down the fort. After that it's wide open.

The Cowboys should be thankful that all these great QBs are over on the other side, because I don't know how a Jerry Jones build team could go through a 4 game gauntlet that is the playoffs facing off with any of those 4 QBs in a row.

you guys forget 2 last SB winners are from NFC . No doubt AFC is stacked but , The poor old Cowboys with Dak beat Hebert in 2021 , mac Jones too and with KC - it was not a blow out ( though close to it )

 

[GINeric]

Okay, beat a Wilson led team now, then you have at least 2 more teams led by those QBs.

The AFC is a rough road in the playoffs.

The AFC is a guantlet, no question.... but i don't believe the Broncos are better than those Seahawks teams. I stand to be corrected if im wrong.

I get what you're saying about the NFC having the last 2 Super Bowl champs.

The Cowboys could beat any of those teams 1 on 1 on any given night too.

But do you trust them to beat 4 of them in a row?

 

[RoyalCowboy]

The Cowboys have no control over what conference they are in. If teams had control over what conference they were in, then I can understand and participate in this topic.

Even if they're not.

Good luck after you get past them.

 

[Diehardblues]

All we can do as fans is play the cards dealt us.

 

[Diehardblues]

The Cowboys greatest obstacle is overcoming a dysfunctional ownership intent on running football operations where winning isn’t the absolute priority.

the nfc is a jr varsity conference in the nfl now the afc is the best conference with the best quarterbacks and teams
