News: TLH: Is There Enough Talent In Dallas To Make A Super Bowl Run?

[Reverend Conehead]

On offense, yes. On defense, not even close, unless this last draft turns out to be a major bonanza in which we did everything right.

 

[Wood]

I actually think Dallas has played to their talent level the past few years. They didn't go further because they didn't have enough talent (especially on Defense). Talent also doesn't stand still - meaning Ware wasn't as talented as he used to be. For me talent shows up when the field gets smaller and things tighten up toward end of season and into playoffs. Until Dallas starts winning playoff games they don't have enough talent.

Saying a team has a chance of making a superbowl run doesn't mean they are gonna win it. All the good teams have a shot at the SB but there can only be 1 winner. Did I say for certain we were gonna win it? No. Do I think we have a chance? Yes. As do a number of other teams. Don't try to bait me into your stupidity troll.

Your post is so general and open that it's really meaningless. That's like saying all 32 teams have a chance of making a Super Bowl run.
Yeah, okay.
But that statement is meaningless.

Actually only 12 teams have a chance of making a Super Bowl run because only 12 teams make the playoffs.

The Cowboys were an 8-8 team. They did not make the playoffs.

So what makes you think they'll make the playoffs this year?

Here's what's working against them.

1. The No. 32 defense last year that had no playmakers. Ware was the only playmaker, if you could call him that. He got by on reputation, and even his reputation didn't serve him last year. We have no Ware. We had no Lee last year, and we'll have no Lee this year.

2. We didn't add any bonafide playmakers on this defense, and we're essentially fielding a defense with younger players and marginal players we're hoping will play better.

3. We have Romo, yes, but he's returning from a back ailment. And he's returning a year older.

4. DeMarco Murray hasn't played a full season without injury. And he's getting older.

5. Jason Witten is a year older.

6. We have the same head coach we did last year, a coach who gave away games because he wouldn't run the ball.

Those are the negatives.

The one positive the Cowboys have going for them is a young offensive line. And I don't know if that's enough to propel the team back into contention.

And that's not taking into account the improvements other teams have made that may push them into one of six playoff spots.

So your position that the Cowboys can make a run for the Super Bowl isn't logical. It's just the wishful thinking of a fan.

Now, anything can happen, and the Cowboys could make the Super Bowl. But, again, that's still wishful thinking when you consider the evidence.

Somebody actually asked this question?

A fan at TLH take it for what it is.

Civility please. Thanks.

 

[Redball Express]

You always seem to give an interesting response...thanks.

Hey..

For you?

Nothing but the best, bro.

 

[HappyOnions]

Who knows with this team. For the last half decade or so all I've heard is how much "talent" this team has.

Individually, I think we have a lot of talented players but of course football is a game where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

If Murrary and Romo can stay healthy, then I think this team has enough offense to at least make the playoffs. Whether or not the talent is utilized properly is a completely different story.

 

[Stash]

Yes we definitely have enough talent to make a superbowl run. The offense on paper looks like its gonna be a top 3 and there's no reason i see that it won't. There is no way in hell that the Defense is gonna be trash like it was last year. We have much better depth and better players all around. Book me on this, we are making the playoffs this year, and once we get in there watch the magic happen.

Ah yes.

The blinders of fandom strike yet again.

Only at this time of year, when no games are being played, can someone state that this defense has 'better players all around'. After losing Ware, Hatcher, and Sean Lee, this team has 'better players all around'.

 

[Stash]

Huh, I have observed the complete opposite. This team doesn't give up and believes in Garrett.

I saw a game just last season against the Bears where it looked to be the 'complete opposite'.

 

[Stash]

Did anyone else find it more than a little odd that this 'article' talking about talent and a Super Bowl run would focus entirely on the offense while completely ignoring the defense?

 

[NickZepp]

There probably is enough talent offensively. Defense is probably the worst in the league and we haven't seen any change there other than some of the best players aren't coming back this year. It's tough to make a SB run with ownership that doesn't care about defense.

 

[Jstopper]

Demarcus Ware of the almighty 6 sacks. This isn't 2009 anymore in case you forgot. Hatcher one year wonder Melton will play close to or equal and possibly even better because he won't have a garbage 1 tech next to him *cough cough* nick hayden. We missed sean lee half the year last year anyway so it's not like this is something we're not used to dealing with before. And even better it happened before the season so we have time to try to get the best replacement instead of in the middle of the year like last year. We actually have quality players and backups not bums of the couch. So yeah this team does have better players all around then the corpses we had last year

Thanks for contributing nothing based on facts.

There is no proven candidate to replace the future Hall of Famer Demarcus Ware.

But of course since he's no longer wearing a star, he's no good any more. Typical.

And Melton, coming off major ACL surgery, is expected to do a better job than Hatcher did last year? Only with blue glasses on...

And, again, there's zero proven talent to replace Lee, so much so that they're trying to salvage Rolando McClain's failed career.

This 'record-setting' defense has even less talent than it did last season.

But some will cling to the 'nowhere to go but up' mantra because they think that's what a fan is required to do.

Please don't dig your hole any deeper. You've embarrassed yourself plenty here already.

So you're thinking probably a loss in the NFC Championship game?

If he would have told us last year we had bums and corpses, I'd respect his stance now a little more. Otherwise it's just a case of spinning the status quo at all costs.

As a lifelong Cowboys fan, I'm embarrassed by the defensive "talent" on this team.

Sigh. I'm going to hate having to educate you. So I added nothing based on facts huh? So Demarcus Ware having 6 sacks wasn't a fact apparently. Nobody is being asked to replace hall of fame Demarcus Ware, they are being asked to replace he of the almighty 6 sacks broken down body Demarcus Ware. Have you not watched him the past 2 seasons? But whatever. We weren't pulling guys off the couch to go defend nfl quarterbacks later that week. Guess that's not a fact either. If Hatcher was able to do things with a bum trash 1 tech helping what do you think Melton is gonna do with a legit 1 tech next to him? Everett brown, jarius Wynn, Landen Cohen, drake Nevis, Caesar rayford. Those bums I just named off were forced into EXTENSIVE playing time because of injuries. There's more facts for you buddy. But somehow this new defense has less talent than last year? Lmao right okay. Your lesson is now over, if you would like to be embarrassed some more come back and see me sometime.

Well, they were really really cold.

And the glaring omission of mentioning anyone proven capable of replacing him. Don't think we all don't notice.

Dream scenario? As well as he had before, performance Hatcher eclipsed last season. What else ya got? And who is this 1 tech you keep speaking of? When did we sign this 'stud' as I must have missed it?

If I need my fix of 'embarrassment' , I'll keep reading your posts. You've brought nothing to this topic.

Funny how you'll try to bash the players from last year and never provide a candidate who could be a proven improvement.

For the record, we've all noticed.

Wait, we got a legit 1 tech? When?

(Are you dense? Dude he was outperformed by Selvie last year! Selvie who had been a career JAG got more sacks than your Godsend irreplaceable Demarcus Ware. And did you forget our 2nd round pick Lawrence?? Hell I bet he gets at least the 6 sacks ware did. You're stuck in the past obviously)

(I don't think you truly understand how garbage hayden was last year. McClain is gonna show what a difference a real 1 tech can make. Go look at the tape it's obvious to everyone with a brain except you that McClain is an upgrade over Hayden who did not record a SINGLE SACK the entire season. All the reports out of otas are how McClain looks like a man on fire so watch and see princess)

(You're embarrassing yourself enough every time you come at me and get served. You must be a glutton for punishment huh?)

(Pick any name out of what we have on the team now who plays the position and they will be able to replace and improve on those bums we had on the field last year. Exactly how many of those guys are back this year since they are gonna be so hard to replace we obviously would have brought those guys back right???? Lol this is too easy)

For the record, we've all noticed.
(What we have all noticed is you continually getting served and coming back with ridiculous points)
