2. Dallas Cowboys
Presuming the Cowboys bring back Dak Prescott in 2021, the Cowboys will have the most gifted and stable quarterback situation in the division.
Prior to suffering a season-ending injury against the Giants back in Week 5, Prescott started the season on a torrid tear completing 68 percent of his passes for 1,856 yards with nine touchdowns and four interceptions.
The supporting cast around Prescott is as dynamic as there is in the NFC, with running back Ezekiel Elliott, wide receivers Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup. For the Cowboys’ offense, the biggest question becomes how to fortify what was once the league’s most dominant offensive line, but has been decimated by injuries and departures in recent seasons.
Dallas’ biggest weakness this season was a toothless defense, which finished 23rd in DVOA, and allowed 29.6 points per game. But, over the second half of the season, the Cowboys defense seemed to find its footing a bit.
If the Cowboys sink significant resources, including $18 million in cap space and the No. 10 overall pick in the NFL Draft to rebuilding the defense and fortifying the offensive line, there is plenty of explosive talent for this team to make a run.
