Do you think the Cowboys can be competitive (i.e., compete for a Super Bowl) with the following lineup?

OFFENSE - 24 players
QB - Dak Prescott, Cooper Rush
RB - Ezekiel Elliott, Rod Smith, Trey Williams
FB - Jamize Olawale
TE1 - Jason Witten, Rico Gathers
TE2 - James Hanna, Geoff Swaim
WR1 - Dez Bryant, Noah Brown
WR2 - Allen Hurns, Terrance Williams, (Deonte Thompson)
WRS - Cole Beasley, Ryan Switzer,
LT - Tyron Smith, Chaz Green
LG - La'el Collins, Marcus Martin
C - Travis Frederick, Joe Looney
RG - Zack Martin, (Marcus Martin)
RT - Cameron Fleming (Chaz Green)

DEFENSE - 25 players
LDE - DeMarcus Lawrence, Taco Charlton
3-tech DT - David Irving, Datone Jones, Lewis Neal
1-tech DT - Maliek Collins, Brian Price
RDE - Tyrone Crawford, Randy Gregory, Charles Tapper
WLB - Sean Lee, (Jaylon Smith), Tre'von Johnson
MLB - Joe Thomas, (Jaylon Smith)
SLB - Jaylon Smith, Damien Wilson, Justin March-Lillard
LCB - Byron Jones, Anthony Brown
RCB - Chidobe Awuzie, Marquez White
SCB - Jourdan Lewis, Duke Thomas
SS - Kavon Frazier, Jeff Heath
FS - Xavier Woods, (Jeff Heath), (Byron Jones)

Specialists - 4 players
PK - Dan Bailey
P - Chris Jones
LS - L.P. Ladouceur
PR/KR - Deonte Thompson, (Ryan Switzer)

Based on this roster, where are the weakest spots?
If the rest of the league was in the same boat then yes the glove could compete.

Its baffling to me how low the standards are on here for some fans. The ONLY time I can accept mediocrity is during a rebuilding situation. But whats more frustrating is they are NEVER in a rebuilding situation. Jerry always thinks he is one player away from a championship and runs his team with that short term mind frame. I am a big Celtics fan and you can see the genius and plan in Boston with Ainge. You know its all coming together and they will be a prime contender for the next 7 years. Here in Dallas I have absolutely no clue what Jones is doing. I have zero confidence in the future. Its like half the FO just tries to keep Jones from doing something stupid, while the other half is just happy to kiss his !@# and be there. Its a rudderless ship.
We know you have zero confidence. You tell us every day every thread over and over and over again and again and again.

Yes. We could be competitive and be good enough to win the super bowl. Our depth would be very marginal, especially at 1 Tech, linebacker and backup RB unless we used the FB in the running game.

Keep in mind that right now other teams have the same challenges and if they had zero draft picks we would have a leg up on our competition.
