Is There Enough Talent In Dallas To Make A Super Bowl Run?
by Steven Phillips

The one thing the Dallas Cowboys haven’t lacked in recent years is talent. Top-tier players have littered the roster for a while now, but things have not come together to get them anywhere beyond an 8-8, mediocre record… at least not for the last three years. So as some claim doom and gloom of the Cowboys, while others think there’s enough talent to make some noise in the NFC East, let’s take a look at exactly where the team stands in terms of star talent.
Starting at the quarterback position, Tony Romo has fallen suit with how the Dallas Cowboys are view by the entire nation – you either like him or you don’t. There doesn’t really seem to be any kind of middle ground on the subject. In my eyes he is the best chance the Cowboys have to contend in the near future. But at 34 years old, his time is starting to run out in terms of his ability to perform at a high enough level to contend for a Super Bowl. If Dallas can continue putting the right pieces around him, this team will have the ability to get there with Romo at the helm – like it or not.
The offensive line and running game is quietly becoming this team’s strong point. With three first-round picks scheduled to be on the line this year (Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, and Zack Martin), and a running back that can be flat-out dominant when he’s healthy (DeMarco Murray) the Cowboys will be able to control the line of scrimmage and the play clock. This is definitely good news considering how questionable the Dallas defense is projected to be. All of this will hinge on how often pass-happy coordinator Scott Linehan will allow this strength to be utilized...
