Make up your mind are we contenders or overrated? :huh:
Why can’t you be both? Anyone in the playoffs is by definition a contender. We are in the playoffs annually, but we pay and treat our players more than they are worth

This team is not overrated. No one expected much from this team this year. Jerry did nothing in the offseason to improve areas of need in free agency. No #1 RB, no #2WR, no stud DT. And depending on a bunch of rookies. Not a recipe for success.
If it’s not overrated by the FO then why do we have the highest paid everything at signing time?

After the debacle against Green Bay in the playoffs and our lackluster off-season, I don’t think the team was rated that high. Our rating may have jumped after the blowout over Cleveland, but it’s dropped since. Everyone around the league knows this is the same old Cowboys.

Everyone knows that #4 is vastly overrated...and is now obscenely overpaid, financially hamstringing the world's most valuable sports franchise for another half-decade. Did he throw a single spiral today? Aubrey (a true baller, and the only guy who made the contest even remotely interesting), Lamb & Tolbert made plays...and may advance to the head of what is otherwise a remedial class.

The RB corps are a complete joke. The team lost Pollard (trying to conserve money for the top jersey-sellers), with an apparent scheme to replace him with four guys. Early returns suggest that strategy is not working out.

There are no awards for an appalling defensive unit. Parsons (who also has a disturbing habit of wilting when a game goes south) proceeded directly to late-season form...in Game 2. DLaw was quiet, and the secondary turned up to a track meet in cement shoes.

Meeting an 0-2 club next week, there is no reason why the home team shouldn't be getting points.
how is he hamstringing? last I checked he got signed...but CD is signed. Diggs is signed. Martin got redone last year. Steele is signed. Lawrence is signed. how many more big contracts do we want to have? which team has any more than that number of highly paid players?

btw, we still have money on the cap...

now, Jerry sucks at building a team is a whole other story. yeah, RBs suck. and if you don't have a good running game, you will struggle inside the red zone and that's going to happen all year.
