Will this be Dak's best season?

[nobody]

The question now is, will he even make it to even get to be able to choke "again" in the post season? There's that problem now (bad legs) PLUS the perennial Deer In Headlight choke job. The ever manifesting hopeium that comes with a new Dallas Cowboys season never fails though.

I think with the improved O-line and an actual RB instead of a retread with the addition of another solid WR, we have a good shot of making the playoffs if Dak can perform like he did from 2016-2023. 2024 he played terribly, but he's got more help this year so it might mitigate his declined play. As far as making it far into the playoffs? No...heck no. All a team has to do is take away the run and force Dak to beat them and he just can't.

Dak has proven he can get the team to the playoffs when healthy. Just not sure on the healthy part anymore.

Say what you want about the Cowboys chances if getting back to the playoffs or getting over the playoff hump.

Say what you want about having a new coaching staff or potential weaknesses at DT, OT or CB.

If I'm Dak Prescott, I'm looking at this season as a chance be my best. I've got 2 of the best WRs in the game. I've got weapons like Turpin and Blue with speed to burn. I've got a coach Schotty that isn't going to let me abandon the running game. I've got the best interior OL protection I've had since my rookie season. All I have to do is get that ball out of my hands quick and stay healthy.

Can he do that? If he can and the team can stay healthy, he has every chance to have his best season,

What say you?

Depends on a couple of things. The running game has to prove to be a threat, and the offensive tackles have to hold up in pass protection. Without a running threat, defenses will sit on routes and make the throwing windows much tighter. Without the edges being protected, Prescott will be forced to throw under pressure or earlier than he wants to.
