You need a great offense and a great defense to win a Super Bowl

[Rockport]

We all know of the Cowboys futility for the past 25-26 years. It all started when Jerry and Jimmy couldn’t get along and Jimmy left. Jerry said he could win with 500 other coaches and hired the idiot Switzer and Jerry claimed victory. Yeah, that didn’t last long. Having, Troy, Michael, Emmitt, and that awesome offensive line doesn’t happen very often. Now so many years later here we are with arguably an even better offense than what we had in the early 90’s. It’s a different league now with the emphasis on the passing game. With a healthy QB our offense has been #1 in the NFL for the last 2 years. Injuries to the offensive line and QB sunk our 2020 season. Can’t win in the NFL with a mediocre offense and a terrible defense. We had both when Tyron, Collins, Fred and eventually Dak went down. The bottom line is that you need both a great offense AND a great defense to win a Super Bowl. Brady didn’t win the SB this year. His defense did. Brady only threw for 201 yards. But he had 3 td’s. So you need both a good QB, offensive line but more importantly you need a better than average defense. We haven’t had that for many, many years. If Jerry doesn’t do something about the defense this offseason then Brady at his prime couldn’t win here.

You don't think Brady's leadership had anything to do with it?
A team isn't just collection of [good] players. There are several other intangible factors.....
.
Cowboys have had many good players in the last 25 years. But for some reason something was missing...or someone was too much of an influence.....

Brady is one of the best leaders to ever play the game. So yes, his leadership plays a huge part. That’s why he’s won 7 SB’s. We also have a great leader in Dak but we don’t have the defense TB has. At least not yet.

Brady made everyone on his team better.

Dak puts up some good numbers, but I've yet to see the other things that make a player great....at least I don't see why he's worth $40,000,000.00 per .....

If Dak is worth $40, Brady must be worth at least $160.

That’s a very simplistic view. Brady’s made his money. His wife makes tons of money. You say Dak puts up good numbers but you don’t acknowledge the pathetic defense. So what’s your agenda?

He isn't. No player is. But that is what the market is now. Further proof how much Jerry blew it 2 years ago.

There you go again.
You don't have an argument, so you bring in the straw man....lol
What's you agenda?
.
What does his wife's salary have anything to do with Brady's value?
You are Ignored.

No. Think that’s super over blown. I’d imagine there’s some extra confidence having a guy who’s been there and done it before, but leadership? Not imo. Just a perfect storm of talent vs injury

Thanks for ignoring me. Much appreciated.

Funny how that perfect storm happen just when Brady got there.

 

[Rockport]

Funny how that perfect storm happen just when Brady got there.

Yeah, the ignorant think that.

 

[Captain-Crash]

maybe dak's boyfriend zeke can give him some money.

 

[kskboys]

Brady was the final piece. The super bowl contender had already been built.

A lot like Haley was the last piece to our puzzle.

You just provided the blueprint, bro.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

If Dallas could just get lucky enough to field an above average defense, they could easily have the ability to sniff a conference title game.

The current process we have for evaluating defensive talent is broken. Has been since Parcells left. But the reality is that NFL decision makers are hilariously simple minded and stubborn people.

 

[JoeKing]

You don't have to have a great team on either side of the ball but you need a great team on at least one side of the ball. We have mostly observed that being on the defensive side of the ball but It can work the other way as well... that's what it seems the Cowboys are trying to do.

Brady made everyone on his team better.

Exactly what.... other things?

Seriously.....coach.

Absolutely no way, sorry Rockport but the OL at this point is not better, the first string RB is a joke compared to Emmit, I'll take Novacek over either TE we currently have. The WR corp as a whole might be better as far as what we currently have but I'll take Irvin over any of them(guy was a baller) and I'll also take a love discipline approach/make no mistake Aikman over Dak.
