It has been quite the 72 hours for the Dallas Cowboys, who have been beaten down with 2025 projections, mainly by FS1's Colin Cowherd, as he embarrassed himself with takes on Brian Schottenheimer and Micah Parsons.
But it hasn't stopped there.
The Cowboys, we know, for most, are low-hanging fruit when it comes to criticism, but all that we ask is that people be fair in their evaluations.
And for Pro Football Network, in ranking all 32 offenses, the publication has Dallas down in 23rd.
"Dak Prescott’s injury last season derailed things, slotting them into a bottom-10 ranking after back-to-back-to-back top-seven grades," Pro Football Network writes. "The offensive line isn’t the powerhouse it used to be, but the addition of George Pickens gives the Dallas Cowboys the chance to be potent through the air. Meanwhile, a committee backfield should provide them with enough balance to keep defenses honest.
"We aren’t ready to call for a full rebound, but ranking in the middle third of the NFL is likely, and a top-10 grade isn’t out of the question."
Right, where do we begin?
Let's just start here. Pro Football Network has the New Orleans Saints (22), the Indianapolis Colts (21), the New York Jets (19), and the Atlanta Falcons (10) ahead of the Cowboys.
They can't be serious, right? An offense with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, a revamped offensive line with three first-rounders, and a running back that will be better in 2025? Stop it.
It is also worth noting that the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles' offense ranks 14th, so we don't understand it.
Having offenses led by Justin Fields, potentially Daniel Jones, Michael Penix Jr., and Tyler Shough above Dallas is just laughable, even after how the Cowboys performed last season.
Make of that what you will, my friends.
It is truly silly season.
