A collection of general opinion articles and blog posts from the perspective of Dallas Cowboys fans both collective and selective.
The long overdue headline “Rico Gathers cut from the Dallas Cowboys” has arrived with mixed reactions among Cowboys fans. Despite being a 6th round pick with limited football experience, fans were excited about the potential of the former basketball player to emerge as a mismatch in the passing game. It was worth a roll of the dice at that point in the draft but fast forward 3 years later and…
Dallas Cowboy fans should be excited about the fact that they are loaded with young talented players. Instead of excitement though, Cowboy fans are constantly worrying about the salary cap and which players they can and cannot afford to extend for the future. Three players in particular are at the center of this concern; Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and Amari Cooper. All three players are due extensions but none of…
In the NFL today, how much money a quarterback makes does not translate into on the field performance. The best QB’s in the league often do not rank among the highest paid. For example, just because he is likely to earn as much as $30 million per season, that does not make Dak Prescott elite. That dollar figure is determined by what the market price demands and if the Dallas…
The Dallas Cowboys young QB Dak Prescott is up for a contract extension and that has caused some serious debate among Cowboy fans. Already one of the more polarizing players in franchise history, once Dak does get signed to a lucrative long term deal his critics will have more fuel to add to the fire. The expectation based on the current QB market is that his new deal could be…
Dallas Cowboys fans across the nation are doing backflips after hearing the news that Jason Witten is back with the team. Jason Witten immediately addresses what was a clear need at the tight end position for Dallas but will his return make the Cowboys a better team in 2019? The simple answer is yes but there is still cause for gloom and doom fans like myself to be a tiny…
The Dallas Cowboys tight end need is considered by many to be the most pressing of the 2019 offseason. Losing Jason Witten to retirement had a huge impact on the offense last season and there is no clear cut #1 guy ready to fill that void. Despite that, the urgency toward upgrading the tight end position may be a tad overblown and here is why. The free agent pool of…
There is a new trend in the NFL with regards to building a championship team. The Seattle Seahawks were the original model and have since been followed by the teams such as the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles and the 2019 NFC champion Los Angeles Rams. That trend is building a team around a young (and cheap) quarterback, drafting well and spending short term money on quality free agents before having…
Unrestricted free agent Cole Beasley is a key figure in the Dallas Cowboys offense. He is Dak Prescott‘s most trusted WR and has come through time and time again in clutch situations. With his impending loss in free agency the Dallas Cowboys will be hard pressed to replace him so is it worthwhile for Jerry Jones and co. to ensure that Cole Beasley remains on the roster in 2019? Beasley’s…
Jason Garrett was firmly on the hot seat all season long and after a 3-5 start it looked as though his days were numbered in Dallas. That was before he rallied his team to win 7 of the last 8 regular season games, make the playoffs and earn his second career playoff victory. Much to the dismay of many Dallas Cowboys fans, that was probably enough to ensure that Jason…
