Willing to say the talent on this team is much superior than most of the 12% of 0-2 teams that have made the playoffs.


I want to believe you...but I'm starting to wonder wonder whether or not our talent is really there or
whether Payton is just the perfect puppet master.

qb-Elite (top 3-4 in NFL no matter what way you slice it)

Rb- excellent scat back in sproles, very good runner in Pierre, 1 power back that hasn't gotten completely into groove, 1 power back that hasn't been activated

wr- 1 usually sure handed possession receiver albeit with limited speed, 1 udfa undersized slot receiver also usually sure handed, 1 injured aging speedstar, 1 undersized special teams ace, 1 speedster who has looked very bad running routes...also an udfa.

te-elite wr talent in graham, undersized guy who knows the system in thomas

tackles-2 system guys who would command modest paydays on the open market. 1 excellent guard in Evans who had a great year last year, subpar one the prior, and excellent year in 09. Another guard who was sought after in FA...came from a great power run blocking system in Baltimore, and a journeymen center who solidified the position after the pure dogshit that was Kreutz.

There is some talent there for sure, but in a vacuum its not like we've got a bunch of blue chippers...and that's our talented part of the team.

Regardless of what happens we're going to need 2 new WRs next year that can create a bit of seperation to add to the mix.

this is what will be defined clearer as the weeks go by. There is talent enough for a 9-7 wildcard no matter what. Whether that is attainable we dunno. Dallas has been one of the most talented underachieving teams for quite a while from the very same lack of master planner/leader.
