I've done this every off season after the draft just to check and see where posters' heads are at with the upcoming season. I did not do it last season because I am not sure what last season was.

Which brings me to this season. I am really feeling good about this season, I think the Cowboys will win the East and possibly a playoff game that first weekend.
But it's not the record this season or the playoffs that have me extra tuned in, it is to see if I can get that feeling I had in 1990-91 when I could see something special coming together. That's when that defense began to emerge and I could see the speed and the train coming.
New DC, 8 D players drafted and more signed in FA and UDFA and some of the missing pieces returning like Diggs and we'll see about Vander Esch. Not to mention the OL coming back an of course, the QB and Jarwin and we'll get a good look at Lamb's soph season and I do think it will be impressive. Ya know, I got the feeling watching him at OU when Hollywood Brown was there that this guy was just meant to be a WR, he's a natural.
If I were a clever illustrator, I would put a graphic up with the needle and different categories but I am neither clever nor an illustrator so I will just list them.
Your choices are: Let's Talk Draft 2022, 2020 in Hindsight (no better), Barely Better than 2020, Wild Card, Division Champs, Noisemaker in the Playoffs, This is Our Year.
I am in that Division Champs section of the Optimeter.
Please state your reasons for where your needle is pointing and could we try and refrain from going after someone or name calling like Homer or Hater because of where their needle is? You feel how you feel and don't have to defend it.
Not enough. And why I think it will take longer.Most have already lost it.
I'm optimistic.
We finally have coaches on our staff that know how to put together Super Bowl rosters, they've done so before.
For a decade we lacked that, our rosters were not designed properly because no one, other than Monte Kiffen i guess, had ever coached in one.
Teams need all sorts of players to win, technical and physical skills, good team players and locker room guys etc.. etc.. our current coaches have seen that. They know what kind of players can mesh to take teams a long way in the playoffs.
Whether we have all the right ones needs to be seen, but at least these guys know what they look like.
I would venture that Quinn would never have come here to work under Garrett.
Both Richard and Marinelli had coached in super bowls though I'm not sure they've ever been responsible for building the rosters prior to coming to Dallas.
Not enough. And why I think it will take longer.
My Optimeter for the Cowboys is like going to a strip club. Lots of glitz, glamour. spotlight before the season. So it’s at 100%. Then the season starts.. after a couple of drinks and a trip to the ATM I feel used and abused wondering where my money went. Then my optimeter points down.
On paper 2020's Poe, McCoy, Thomas, Griffen, Aldon and Lee.... looked a pretty decent front 7 and i'm not sure we have better players going into this year, however, hopefully we're better coached and the youngsters we've brought in show more determination than some of those that put on the Star last year.
I'll try.I’ve been there brother. I can’t blame anyone for being down.
Hang in there.
No and the additional irritation of owner doesn't help it. But, we work through that and it's still all about the laundry to me.I'll try.
But it's not easy being a fan of this team
LMAO... great analogy.My Optimeter for the Cowboys is like going to a strip club. Lots of glitz, glamour. spotlight before the season. So it’s at 100%.

Uhhhh gee I dunno maybe because of the last 25 years.
