1. Qb- Romo= top 10 yes
2. RB- Murray- top 10 no but maybe
OL- Top 5 maybe
3. WR- Dez, T-will, Street, Beasley- top 3 no
4. TE- Witten, Escobar- top 3 no

We will be able to score on everyone this year, Seattle better be ready. Thoughts?

nice try though

One thing for sure the DLine will be much younger looking at the expected starter for 2013 season. Hatcher 31 Ware 31 Ratliff 32 Spencer 30

LOL!! The point being our offense is Stacked so it should produce crazy numbers and maintain Time of Possession, hopefully keeping our D off the field, a lot......

This could've happened last season but JG didn't get the memo on how to protect a poor defense. I like the initial quotes from Linehan basically countering all the JG negatives; running the ball when successful or more in general, going deep (Romo's back permitted), and using the second rounder we invested in Escobar. If he said he would incorporate more motion, move Dez around, and use plays that get players open "by design" he could've been my messiah:D We weren't poor on O, but relied on very limited innovation in play selection/design. Romo, Dez, Witt & co. won in spite of Garrett. I will give credit to JG for the improved RZ efficiency but all this production of his only gets the team to 8-8.

I think you're greatly overestimating our WR/TE groups, and also jumping the gun on our o-line. I think o-line will probably be our STRONGEST position on the team, though I still can't say we're top 5 without seeing Martin play. Also, take Dez away and where would you rank our WR group? Bottom 5 in the league? I do think our WR is a position of strength, but in no way are we top 3 in the NFL. As for our TEs, Witten isn't what he use to be, he's older, slower, and doesn't get near the separation he once could(still has good hands/route).

For a moment there I thought I was on the Denver Bronco forum - top 10, top 10, top 5, top 3, top 3 ... I wish. :p

I don't disagree with your post, but your "take away Dez and what do you have" isn't much of an argument.

Take away Megatron and what does Detroit have?
Take away Green and what does Cincinnati have?
Take away Fitzgerald and what does Arizona have?

Take away the top receivers from every team and you have significant fall off. The possible exceptions are Denver and Green Bay, but that's a function of the their QB's.

Again, I don't think the Cowboys are top 5. Actually I don't know what they are.

I was just getting my point across, we don't have a top 3 WR group in the NFL. Those elite groups not only have a stud like Dez Bryant, but have a Wes Welker to go beside their #1, or an Alshon Jeffery, or somebody like Roddy White.

I'd say outside of Den, GB,NO and possibly DET it's just as good an offense as any so top 5 is'nt a stretch.

I'd have to say the O was more limited by Romo's injury, he should have sat sometime after the Denver game.
