Why Do Cowboy Fans Keep Saying "It's Ok, our future is bright"

[duckbutta]

Well let's see...going into the season we were coming off a 4 - 12 year...with our aging QB who had already missed a season due to injuries hurt AGAIN...our starting running back from last season hurt...our top 10 receiver missing most of the year with an injury...and a 3rd of our already bad defense being suspended over weed and/or drugs...

And at the end of the season...we found our new QB...a rookie...our new running back...a rookie...both who played and should continue to play at an MVP level...we are going to have the opportunity to get rid of our aging always hurt QB...who we would owe 72 million over 3 years if we keep him on the team...our top 10 receiver who was starting to get hurt a lot was relatively healthy this year and started looking like a top 10 receiver again...

We have the chance to replace the worst and oldest member of our offensive line (free) with a young player who is much better (collins)

It's highly likely our second round pick linebacker...who was rated the number one linebacker in the draft before his injury...actually plays next year...

So...yeah...we went from 4 - 12...to 13 - 3...while putting ourselves in position to get rid of two of our oldest players who are not doing much of anything for us anymore...shedding about 80 million in salaries over 3 years...replacing them with younger, better, cheaper players...and it's highly likely that our number one rated college linebacker plays...

Considering all that...I would say the future is bright for dallas...

shyt getting Jaylon Smith back by itself is like having a top 10 pick in the draft and drafting a player who perfectly fits a need you have...

Yeah the NFL rosters change so drastically year to year it's foolish to think the Cowboys will definitely be good for awhile because no team is good for that long in a hardcap league unless u have a Brady or Rodgers which the Cowboys do not

Cowboys have a tough schedule next season.

I expect them to go 8-8 or 10-6.

What

In 17 games this year we played

10 teams who were .500 or better

4 playoff teams

We played the number 1 defense AT LEAST 3 times (Vikings, Ravens, Giants)

Out of the 4 teams playing to go to the super bowl we beat 2 of them in the regular season...

So how exactly is next year schedule going to be tougher than over 50% of your schedule going .500 or better, almost 25% of your schedule against playoff teams, playing the number one rated defense multiple times in a year, and beating 2 of the final 4 teams left in the playoffs?

It doesn't seem like people understand if you take winning percentage and defenisve ranking into account the cowboys probably had the toughest schedule in the league this year ...with a rookie qb and rookie rb

Unless you're the Patriots just wait and see.

And packers

I at the America's team shyt and turn the channel if they are discussed for too long/too many segments. That said, I don't see how there is any disputing that stance. They overachieved this year and came within two 50 yd FGs of the NFC Championship game AND they got an offense full of young studs. They get some good pieces for that defense (that are allowed to play ) and they are gonna be a problem...before Dak and Zeke's rookie deals expire.

Prescott can play. They have him on his rookie deal with the best line in football. This is a team that's going to be good for a while.

Their future is bright. I don't mind people saying that. Damn near EVERY fanbase that team makes the Super Bowl, N/AFCCG, or is a first time playoff team in a while says that.

My beef is when a fanbase says "We'll be back". No. THAT is being stupid. THAT is when you have to factor in the fact that nothing is guaranteed in the NFL. Everyone was saying last year "Oh Cam will be ok. They'll be back". How that work out this season? Will Cam be back in the Super Bowl? He's extremely talented so he will have his chance. But to flat out say he will be back? Nah. That's not how the NFL works peoples.

Cowboys, and many teams, have a bright future. That's not to be argued. But if they, or any fanbase, thinks that that will guarantee them being back in the playoffs or for a deep run, hopefully they realize the NFL meaning Not For Long works in more context than just playing careers.

Dak= Alex Smith, shut down Zeke and Cowgirls aren't a threat.

it's the NFL, you never know. you gotta go for it when the moment presents itself.
that's why I think the Falcons need to go all out because who knows when they'll have another shot like this. they can beat every team left.​

To answer OP's question, the dallas cowboys fan base is almost exclusively cacs and mexicans (with the exception of some c00ns, like the fakkits in this thread) so you cannot expect them to use logic or reason

 

[The Fire]

One of my friends told me the cowboys have at least 4 titles in the next 10 years cowboys fans are hilarious

I'm glad the Saints capitalized in 2010 cuz if Tracy Porter drops that Brett Favre INT, we playing the "what if" game the rest of our lives. And we woulda lost to the Vikings and I self admit-tingly would have probably been like "This really hurts but with Drew at the helm we will def get another shot" and clearly (for the time being) I would have been very wrong.

Nikka this ain't the nba where if u got top 5 talent you'll be in the conference finals or nba finals every year..

There is no guarantees in the NFL.
Look at the Panthers,Broncos, 49ers, etc & every team that fell from the top immediately after having "bright futures"

Stop tryna justify your monumental & devastating loss with that idiotic reasoning... Should've took advantage of it.. Wow, can't believe they blew it

They didn't blow anything. Better coaching would have given them a win in a very close game. But they still can't stop a good offense. The next two games would have been even tougher. But now, they can put ALL their energy into building a solid defense.
Zeke is unlikely to have a Gurley like drop off, because the rest of the offense is so good. Prescott will always be able to lean on Dez when things aren't clicking.
They are going to get something for Romo. I don't think Jerry is afraid of spending money on a decent free agent pick up or two. Their team will be BETTER on paper next year.

Yeah that's ridiculous. The only team you can look to doing stuff like that is the Pats.

However, the Cowboys are paying Dak and Zeke almost nothing for the next few years. This is the window. It's no surprise that the Ravens fell off when they had to pay Flacco, the Seahawks came back to the pack when they had to give Wilson huge money, same with Brees in NO... there's simply not enough money to go around with the cap.

If they make some really shrewd pickups in FA, they will be scary the next couple of years.
