How do the Dallas Cowboys get back to 1990s-level dominance/Super Bowl contention?

Recommended Posts

In the 1990s, the Dallas Cowboys were the class of football, and maybe American professional sports (along with the Bulls, Braves, Bills, Blue Jays). 1992, 1993, and 1995 the Dallas Cowboys won 3 Super Bowl championships with Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, and Deion Sanders as the face of the 1990s Cowboys dynasty. 

Since 1996:

Losses in playoffs/Haven't made NFC Championship since 1995

A brief period of success under Romo/Prescott era, but no Super Bowl title.

Is Jerry Jones fault? Wade Phillips? Jason Garrett? Cowboys culture in clubhouse?

How do the Cowboys get back to dominance?

1. Get a solid QB on an obscenely cheap rookie contract.

2. Use all that extra cap room to surround your bargain QB with a loaded roster full of great players... unless you're paying over 10% of your cap in dead money to players no longer on the team and can't afford quality depth, or even quality starters at some positions.

dak limits the team severely

they need either a better qb or nigh perfection everywhere else on the roster to make up for dak’s deficiencies... been saying this since 2016 when they were riding high and i feel very much vindicated by last season, but i can’t count my profits on that take just yet given it’d be unfair to say they’re a mediocre team after one down year
