Or just as likely, a negative nannie view that does not see actual comparisons of real quality which would prove out no matter which Dallas team was selected.
Not being negative just being honest. Any type of comparison between this inconsistent mediocre team and the 92 team is ridiculous. The 92 team was arguably the greatest team in franchise history and possibly one of top 5 greatest teams in NFL history.

Romo is up there with the likes of Aikman, Staubach, and Meredith.
Romo isn't up there with Aikman and Staubach unless you're one of those fans who just look at his career numbers and put blinders on to everything else. Aikman and Staubach won 5 SB's between them the Cowboys haven't even sniffed a SB with Romo. Keep it real or don't waste my time!

I'd match DeMarco Murray right up there with Calvin Hill, despite brevity of actual play. And he and Felix Jones most likely would match the duo running the ball when Walt Garrison was a Cowboy.
Dude the OP is comparing this team with the 92 team Calvin Hill and Walt Garrison didn't play for that team they played for the Cowboys in the early 70's.

The 92 team had a young Emmitt Smith who was well on his way to becoming the NFL's all time leading rusher. As for Calvin Hill and Walt Garrison Hill averaged around 4.4 ypc during his career with the Cowboys and Garrison averaged 4.3 ypc with the Cowboys.
Our current team has had trouble running the ball until the past couple of games I think it's a little premature to put Murray and Felix up there with Hill and Garrison 2 backs who consistently ran the ball well over a period of 6 years. Stop dreaming and come back to reality.

The combination Dez Bryant and Miles Austin is probably equal to on field play of Michael Irvin and whoever.
You can't be serious! :laugh2: Dez has a lot of talent but still hasn't figured out how to run routes. Romo doesn't trust him and he's vanished in the second half of most of the games this season. Irvin put up almost 1400 yards in 92 and over 1500 yards in 91. Dez is nowhere near at the level Irvin was in 91 or 92.
As for Austin he hasn't been the most dependable receiver either. He's had a lot of drops over his career and has done very little since returning from his injury 3 weeks ago. He's only caught 12 passes for 42 yards the past 3 games. Dez and Austin have not been the consistent combo that Irvin and Harper were not even close!
Although Harper never caught a lot of balls he was one of the greatest deep threats in franchise history. He averaged close to 20 yards a catch during his Cowboy career. In 93 he averaged 21.6 and in 94 he averaged 24.9 which was just under Bob Hayes' team record of 26.1 in 1970. Harper was a great compliment to Irvin he opened up a lot of opportunities over the middle for him. To compare what Dez and Austin have done together with what Irvin and Harper did together is ridiculous!

Irvin and Harper have 3 rings Dez and Austin haven't even won a playoff game together. Some of you need to take off your rose colored glasses and start seeing this current team for what it is MEDIOCRE!

I see the start of a Chuck Howley career in Sean Lee.
Again the OP is comparing this team with the 92 team Howley played in the 70's.

Yea, for sure, all that one sees is the dung in a pig pen....for sure.
Most of what the Cowboys have now is dung in the pig pen compared to what they had in 92 that's what you get when you compare a gold mine with a cow pasture. Some of the backups the 92 team had were better than some of the starters on this team. Leon Lett was better than anyone we have currently on our DL and he was a backup on the 92 team. Jimmy Jones another backup in 92 was more of a force up front than some we have starting now.
The 92 team was young and was littered with talent so much so the team went on to win 3 SB's in a 4 year period and this was after being raided by free agency after the 92 season.
