Will the Cowboys offense perform better next season? 1

Is it April?! How is it April, where’d all the time go? Anyway, the NFL Season is starting to grow closer and closer to us, and the Dallas Cowboys 2023 season is nearing its beginning.

There is a lot of talk and opinions floating in the air right now about the Cowboys’ offense. Fans are worried that the team’s offense will become the reason for the team’s overall downfall next season.

The same problem occurred last year when the offense just couldn’t pick up during the Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. After this game, fans turned to blame Quarterback Dak Prescott and the offense for the 12-19 loss.

This put everyone into a frenzy of pointing fingers at staff, quarterbacks, other players, and more.

Now that this madness is behind us, we may ask ourselves a valid question.

Will the Cowboys’ offense be better this year?

It’s tough to say, but many people are leaning toward “no”. The reason for that response is that Quarterback Dak Prescott is back for one more spin with the boys.

Many fans were looking forward to his demise and have been awaiting a new quarterback to lead the Cowboys to victory, unlike Prescott has done. While the Cowboys could still grab a quarterback from this year’s draft, it’s still likely that they will be sticking with Dak Prescott for one more year.

Perhaps that pressure will motivate Prescott more? He knows his job is on the line. Scratch that: He knows his job is beyond the line.

This means that Prescott will have to play even harder this season. He must be mentally prepared for each game and not be fearful of his surroundings.

While Prescott is the overall leader of the offense, it is not always about him when it comes to how the offense plays out. Other players have a responsibility too and must contribute their own talent.

Many fans see Running Back Tony Pollard contributing the most. After his big season last year where he proved that he was starter material, Pollard is ready to be a beast for the team.

With his young, quick legs we will be seeing a lot of skill coming out of him this year and many more to come.

One downside to this year’s offense is that there will be no Tight End Dalton Schultz. Schultz is now in Houston where he will be getting a lot less money than if he were in Dallas. I could go on and on about how his agent should be fired, but I’ll save that for later.

Without him, Jake Ferguson will need to step up, which he should. Many fans trust Ferguson and are ready for him to be the new tight end for the Cowboys.

The receivers are going to be great next year, period.

With CeeDee Lamb, T.Y. Hilton, and now Brandin Cooks, the wide receiver class is going to be a superpower next season.

The Cowboys’ offensive line will also look good next year, a lot better than others, meaning that Prescott will have much more time to throw the ball than he has over the past few seasons.

Overall, the offense looks great. The only hump that the team will need to get over is Dak Prescott.

Prescott knows how important this season is, and not just that, he knows how much it means to the fans. If Prescott plays his heart out this year, and all the other cylinders fire around him then I say they actually have a chance to go far.

Everything is on Dak Prescott’s shoulders. Let’s hope that the amount of pressure is enough to make this year a good one for our team.

More likely he will step up as usual and help the other team more than he helps the Cowboys

Dallas seriously has the worst fans. The vast majority don’t even watch the games, they just listen to ESPN or the other dumb ass click bait networks and get brainwashed into thinking Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott and Jerry Jones and Steven Jones are terrible, Dak Prescott has led the league in offense the last 2 years in a row and Ezekiel Elliott has a better stats than everyones favorite Derrick Henry since they both got drafted in the same year!! and Ezekiel Elliott played one full season dealing with an injury that you should of ended his season, but instead he played through it and still finished as the fifth best running back in football, he had the same injury that Lamar Jackson bailed on his team with

Chris Dussault I’m in total agreement with your take. These dumb couch-potato fans fail to understand one simple fact regarding Dak and interceptions last year. He broke his thumb in game 1. You need your thumb to grip the ball at throw it accurately. His recovery from that broken thumb impacted his grip on the ball and many of his throws were off target and picked off. Dak will be fine this year barring injury

TY is a free agent, yet you include him in this article as part of a super wr group. Furthermore, you blame Prescott without evaluating the issues at wide receiver. Its clear you have very little knowledge of the Cowboys and should refrain from writing on this forum.

This writer must be young or he has a short memory.
It’s tough finding a decent qb. Look around the league.
There’s no guarantee for any of these in the draft. You just hope.
Dak will be fine.
He is clearly not a fan casting a dark cloud over Dak such as this.
Dak had a bad year after a thumb injury and all is doom and gloom.
Philly is accepting casual fans I hear.

Dick Huss nah his contract makes that very hard to do. And now that they gotta pay him 50m they will extend him to bring it down. We are stuck with him.

Sam Coniglio, and that’s exactly the problem. The team should draft a quarterback and let him compete for the job. If Dak can’t beat out a rookie in camp, he doesn’t deserve to start. He can become the leagues best-paid backup.

He is 7-Up. Never had it. Never will. Forget them until he and Jerry are gone. They will never win until them. They never have except the early days with Jimmy and Barry. 27 years and no conference title games. They are losers. Buh bye.

He needs to step up in playoff games.

His regular season is normally great, but he literally turns into a 1st year rookie in playoff games.

Vince Bennington nah he’s more consistent than that but his play is a roller coaster with bad and good teams. Once he’s playing only good teams he’s bad.

He needs his first read too he open, if he’s not it goes down hill fast. Even bad teams like commanders can make him look terrible if that first read isn’t open.

The Cowboys were lucky to get Dak in the fourth round. In order to replace him with a better QB, they will either have to tank or trade the entire starting defense. Too many forget the QB revolving door between Aikman and Romo.

Jerry owes Dak a lot more money since he’s the only player anyone talks about he must be doing a lot, what are the other 52 players doing since Dak is the only man of action?

Bobby R Henry Why would you say that after the way he has gone backwards the last 2 years ??? I hope Dak can have a good season but if that doesn’t happen and the Cowboys draft a QB this year, Dak may not be around in 2024 !!!

His game has been easily figured out by every team that plays against him and defenses have no fear against his ability to play QB! With the east more competitive now we will be lucky to finish 3rd in the division this season! Plus he’s consistently a no show when it matters most in the biggest games!

What’s with the T Y Hilton talk. He is not ON the team. You’re an idiot who shouldn’t be commenting on a team if you don’t know who’s on it. Makes me sick. Just let any clown write an article. Bet you okayed your best football in the backyard as an 8 year old.

He’ll no doubt try but he’s reached his ceiling already and its obvious that he needs help. Dan Orlovsky put it best (I’ve been saying the same thing – specifically about Dak) that there’s only about 5 to 7 current QBs that can take over themselves to make their offense good. Then there’s the next batch of QBs that need super stars around them to be good. Thats the pack Dak is in. And unfortunately, Dak believes he should also get the same money as the other QBs that are taking their teams to the superbowl. THATS part of whats hurting this team is a handful of players sucking up most of the cap which leaves peanuts to grab top tier Offensive lineman in free agency which would help Dak looking good longer. Its a symbiotic relationship: Have a top line, you can turn nobody WRs into stars. Have an aging always hurt line and Dak is being rushed all the time. Lead the NFL in INTs even tho he missed 5 games.
