When you rank this team 4th overall, it's time to revise your system.

Wait a second, I thought talent isn't the issue and the new coach is gonna fix everything?

Or is this chart wrong and we just have average talent?

I think we will be in playoffs baring injuries to things like Dak.

The chart is wrong.

If healthy I think the chart is about right, top-tier offense (probably not top 2, but should be top 5) and a middling, bottom tier defense that can hopefully be average.

Just saying the chart has us as the fourth most talented team in the league.

That's probably wrong although I'd say top 10 on average for sure. There's a range of outcomes, if everything goes right I could see us being top 4-5, if things go sideways again I could easily see us being middle of the road.

And?

It's just some dude's opinion, a dude I've never heard of at that.

Our defense was so atrocious and has so far to go to even be average it's hard to believe we're the 4th most talented team. Especially since we barely touched free agency.

We'll see once everyone gets on the field, but we'd have had to nail this draft and I'm not so sure we did.

If this defense improves significantly it'll likely be from coaching (Quinn), much like the improvement we made from Kiffin to Marinelli.

It is also not perfect.

I will tell you this though. Garrett took more talented teams than this into the 8-8 iceberg.

Yep, that's the flaw in Smitty's point. This team isn't as talented as the ones Garrett had with a prime Romo, Ware, Witten, Dez, Zeke, Tyron, that entire amazing OL that's fallen apart, etc. Now the defense is just as bad or worse, and the offense isn't as talented.

No! Garrett would have this team in a better position!

Actually it seems kind of the same. Same dysfunction with an offensive coach fumbling about trying to field a defense.

The prime of that all-time great O-line was the victim of Garrett's on-the-job training.
