I guess if we lower the bar enough things can look okay which has been the Jerry Jones goal. Never be terrible but never be contenders. The fact that we are going on 28 years since a conference title game, a feat only matched by Dolphins, Lions, Commanders, and Browns, is not a commentary on how well things have been going. As an aside 2 of those teams are likely favorites in their division (Dolphins and Lions) which means they are also taking the right steps forward. Now could the Cowboys be finally taking that step? Sure, but lets not pretend that for the past 28 years they have been doing just fine.
