What the Cowboys accomplished this year is a testament to two things. A weak schedule and a very good coach. Lets see how well they do playing a much tougher schedule next year.

They need a good running back before they do anything, IMO.

Yeah LL, I'm not happy about that statement. 05-nono 03-wink

Well, it was a good season for the majority of the year. We ran outta gas, but I am extremely proud of them this year. I didn't even expect them to be in the playoffs this year quite frankly. And yes, we need a running back bad. Hambrick had the opportunity to really show what he could do this year and he didn't show much of anything. Half the time, it looked like he ran right into tackles. I hope we have a good draft.

I would rather see us go after a good QB, either in the draft, via free agency or a trade. There are some good ones out there. I wouldn't mind seeing Mark Brunell wearing the Star. I just don't think Quincy Carter is the answer. He is in the same mold as Kordell Stewart and I don't see him as the future leader of this team if they want to move forward.

Running back is another area to look at, definately. The D looks pretty good, maybe some tweaking if anyone opts for free agency.

Carolina played really well but it doesn't take much to shut down the Cowboy offense.

The NFL doesn't have 5th place schedules anymore. So there really aren't changes like that. Division members play essentially the same schedule.

Parcells did well. But, he had more tools than people tend to give him credit for. Dallas has had 2 good drafts recently, and I propose that can make any team competitive if you don't let FA kill you (like Detroit).

Add to those drafts: Darren Woodson (from ASU) can still play, Nguyn is decent (I used to rag on him at TAMU), Galloway finally seems healthy and Parcells motivated Allen to play better.

Also, throw in a good FA pick up w/ Glenn (who knew?) and what Parcells did, would have been done by Haslett, Fox, and a bunch of quality NFL coaches.

That's not a criticism of Parcells, but he shouldn't be deified either.

Talk throught the season has been Kurt Warner for QB and Corey Dillon for RB. I like Warner, but wonder about his health. Dillon would finally realize how good he's had it in Cincy. What a tool. Good player, but a head case. Would be interesting to see if he has the heart for the game. Parcells would find out.

the schedules are 2 games different which can make a pretty substantial difference.

Also, free agency kills too many teams, not just Detroit.

I don't think Dallas had the tools you speak of. I think most of the players became good because of parcells. Dat Nguyen is better than decent. Many experts think he's better than LaVar Arrington (overrated).

John Fox might've been able to do what parcells did, but that's because he's an awesome coach. Haslett is a terrible coach. He can't even take New Orleans to the playoffs. he would never be able to take Dallas. There just aren't many coaches that could've done what Parcells did. But i guess in an average league, anything is possible.

How about Big Ben? They could trade up for him.

Detroit is just a team that expemplifies how reaching too far in FA can kill you. Meanwhile Pitt gets raided in FA nearly every year. (Or they used to. They've come down a notch.) Dallas didn't lose too much in FA, and had a decent pick up.

Nguyn probably is better than 'decent'. But, that's my point, Parcells did have some players to work with. Woodson, Nguyn, Galloway, Allen. They all had good reputations before Parcells got there. Roy Williams, Gurode...also good players. Again, Dallas wasn't as bare as folks claimed. I do give him credit for using Carter's strengths as best he could.

As for Arrington, despite my DC area residency, I'm no fan of the Redskins. You won't get any argument from me about Arrington being overrated.

I disagree about Haslett. He inherited a program in disarray from Ditka, and made them competitive. He had them playing over their heads in his first year, and reality has set in. Yet, they still play tough. They're in a tough division too, better than the NFC east.

i'm only going to address one point here. You can't make a bad assumption, like Parcells had the tools. If i recall, this team was 5-11, for what, 3 seasons in a row? John fox didn't do that with the Panthers in his first season. Haslett's saints' are underachievers. He has some real weapons, yet they can't make the playoffs. Underachievement reflects the coach.
