When will you judge this years team?

What this team does in free agency will be the first clue to how serious they are ,this team needs talent at several positions .That will show me Dallas brass has changed their ways in building a competitive football team we will see.
A particular player acquired to upgrade a specific position should be an observation consideration also. The front office can sign pretty much anyone they want (emphasis on the 'they want') but will that player improve the offense or defense? Plus, does the new coaching staff have the ability to draw out that particular player's full potential all season long?
 
About 3 weeks after free agency begins.

Let’s be real. They can compete with a solid draft and free agency. But they are not filling the voids on this team by the draft only
I totally agree with you,if Dallas would sign a couple of solid free agents before the draft ,they will be able to really improve this football team by drafting best player available each round of the draft.
 
Two teams last year, 15-2, 14-3 had that playoff disappointment with some bad losses in their 1 and done games. As we did against GB the year before, though seemed our loss was way worse.

I think many fans will understand what you are saying. And for good reason.
The Vikings over the years have been similar to the Cowboys. They can have some good regular seasons but you never really take them seriously because they have proven to be frauds. Especially at QB for years with Kirk Cousins, hence the Dak comparisons, and this year with Darnold. They also tend to ne soft especially away from their dome.

Detroit is in a different category. They were in the NFCCG the previous year and was rolling this season until a slew of injuries took its toll.
 
We can judge it everyday. We can make predictions based on what we know daily and change those predictions as what we know changes. We'll judge the games after they happen and the season after it happens.

Lets see what happens in early free agency that is the key to the playoffs next season .I believe we are serious about building a playoff caliber football team , will the right players be chosen at DT OL WR RB CB LB ,before the draft .Dallas must improve in free agency ,then the draft will unfold correctly with the best player chosen each round .That is what I want to see happen .LETS GO COWBOYS.
 
Day after Thanksgiving. Never after the first game - at which the Cowboys typically look like world-beaters.
I wonder if Dallas gets the Brazil game 1st week vs. Chargers? The league doesn’t typically put intra-divisions games on the international schedule. Jax and Miami already host 2025 int’l games, the Giants played one last season. That leaves Tennessee and Dallas as most likely candidates.
 
So we have the draft and FA ahead of us. We have a completely new coaching staff. At what point will you judge this year's team? Will it be if they start out 1-5 or 5-1? Will it be Thanksgiving? Will it be end of the season?
So, we are supposed to prejudge when will judge, and then after the fact look back and judge again on whether our first judgement was right?

NFL likes to be able to bank on Cowboys TV ratings, so will most likely match them up with a patsy sure-win. Could very well be the Titans or the usual Giants fodder. A Cowboys win to start the season and get the fanbase pumped is good for Mr. Goodell and Jethro.
 
If you are going that far, you might as well say - after we get a new owner. Because nothing else matters until that change is made.
If we hit on a true franchise QB, he MAY be able to overcome Jerry’s world. That’s why I push this agenda so hard. We have never known because Aikman was many years ago. Otherwise, like you said, it’s hopeless.

During Free Agency.

Most teams have Free Agency then the Draft.
 
I will judge at several points. How we start the regular season, how we adjust to any adversity, how we finish the regular season based on what we need for seeding, etc. Then the playoffs (if we get there) are a different level of judgement considering the recent history.

The Cowboys would be the same kind of fodder the Giants and Titans are going to be. They may well be traveling to São Paulo for a first week Friday game. An estimated 36 million NFL fans in Brazil. Last year it was two playoff teams from the previous season. No reason to believe they won’t want to provide that market a game they’ll be excited about.

Last year my youngest daughter wanted to go to TC because of the DCC Netflix show, so we went on Hero's Day so it was free for us. There, I observed that the team was dog shhhhh and I wasn't wrong.
 
Daily......

That is especially true during a game. where I become the most judgmental. You could ask my family if they ever decided to watch a game with me again.

Even my dog leaves the living room and hides in the bedroom with my daughter. She doesn't understand yelling at a TV, an inanimate object. She thinks I am yelling at her....my dog, not my daughter.
