Well how about the Cowboys during the 2007-08 season when they were 13-3 with full of so-called promise annnnnd still got just one playoff win to since.
Check Wade Phillips coaching history. His teams always start off well because the previous coach was too hard nosed so the laxed style he brings with him always has his teams playing loose and carefree. Problem is that catches up with him everywhere he goes. The Cowboys were no different. Believe they were the most penalized team in his tenure. The playoff game against the Giants alone we had 13 penalties for 99 yards.
With that being said, the boys started off 3-1 that year before Romo got injured and we had to start Bradford Johnson, who was damn near 40. This was also the year Pacman beat up his body guard, TO and Witten almost came to blows, and Tashard Choice got heavy playing time. Still were 1 win away from a playoff berth.
This team is different in every aspect because we have our nucleus on rookie deals. 2007, Romo got paid 62 million. When we trade/release Romo we can spread his remaining cap hit over the next 2 years freeing up quite a bit. You also gotta consider this team was led by two rookies which is unheard of.
Anything can happen. Injuries, bad luck, etc. But every cowboys fan has reason to be excited especially considering the better QB's are on the back end of their careers.






because it is. I understand that there is nothing guaranteed in the NFL because teams rise and fall rapidly but you'd be a fool to not see that after years of mediocrity Dallas finally has something here. That core is less than 30 and it got to 13-3 being led by 2 rookies. They have time to grow. Zeke behind that line will still flourish. Hell, any RB put back there will. Everyone on the O Line is less that 30 with the exception of Free, but there's 2 players capable of taking his spot. Dak is the wildcard, but he's on the right track and he already proved alot of people wrong. He isn't some game manager, he's legit. The pieces are there and will be for a while
