There are plenty of different ways to define “performed the best” as you have to factor in many things. For instance, Amari Cooper would certainly be in the running but you have to take into account he only was with Dallas for nine games in 2019. If you pro-rate his stats, then you can look at a full year, but would he have performed that well if he had been here all 16 games? You also have Ezekiel Elliott, who only led the league in rushing. Even with that, you have to take into account the amount of rushes he had and how that plays out as just a volume stat.Another way to look at it? With grades from Pro Football Focus. Sure, there are arguments to be made about how well these grades reflect reality Taco Charlton Jersey , but they are one tool to use. In this case, the highest-graded offensive player for Dallas in 2018 was left tackle Tyron Smith.Smith missed what is now his customary three games in 2018 (although a few of those were healthy scratches in Week 17), but when he was on the field he was looking much more like his old self. After a few years of struggling through back problems that sapped him of some of his customary strength and mobility, Smith was back to being the premier left tackle that he once was. For the year, he was graded as giving up only 15 pressures, 13 hurries and no sacks, although he did pick up seven holding penalties.Pro Football Focus goes one step further and graded players on their “clutch” team. Clutch was defined as plays in the fourth quarter of games within seven points. Smith made that list, too.The good news is that the Cowboys have Smith signed through 2023 on a very team-friendly deal. If Smith’s health holds out, the Cowboys have one of the most important positions in the NFL locked up for a while, allowing them to better pursue deals with other stars who need new contracts. Smith feels his health is good and that he’s going to be better heading into 2019.With the likely return of Travis Frederick La'el Collins Color Rush Jersey , and the presence of the always great Zack Martin, the Cowboys should have their three offensive line studs back to form for 2019. That makes a huge difference.Bob Sturm recently tracked Smith’s 2018 season and noted that while he may never be peak Tyron Smith again, he is still elite.Enjoy some Smith domination courtesy of John Owning. Looking ahead, the hype is high for the Cowboys."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys GeneralPredictions are rolling in and hype around the Cowboys is buildingNew,133commentsLooking ahead, the hype is high for the Cowboys.CDTShareTweetShareSharePredictions are rolling in and hype around the Cowboys is buildingSteve Mitchell-USA TODAY SportsWe’ve just entered the month of May which means that, unfortunately, there are still a lot of months to go before football season officially arrives.The NFL Draft has happened though, and that means that we know the basic idea of what rosters for each team are going to look like. Considering that we also know each team’s schedule this makes predicting the results of the season a little more easy (it’s still insanely hard).In looking towards the future there seems to be a growing sense of optimism regarding America’s Team. Thursday got started with Good Morning Football posing the question as to whether the Cowboys would have more or less than 10 wins in 2019, which would give them a better record than last season. All of their analysts said more.That’s three different people believing that Dallas will win at least 11 games. Surely that would be enough for a playoff spot and a likely second straight division title Robert Newhouse Jersey , it’s been a long time since the Cowboys put together back to back successful seasons of that caliber.The pressure was turned up just a bit more when it came to the Rich Eisen Show where Rich not only predicted the Cowboys to win the NFC East, but to be playing in the NFC Championship Game. Well, he kind of said that.It’s hard to imagine what the world would be like if the Cowboys were indeed one game away from the Super Bowl... it would be chaos. Dallas continues to knock at the door ever so slightly on a not-exactly-frequent basis, some sustained levels of success would say a lot about the current state of the franchise.Maurice Jones-Drew seems to somewhat agree with Eisen by the way, at least in the sense that Dallas is going to be a serious contender. He has them winning 12 games in 2019, including 11 of their first 12!None of this means anything as predictions are hardly an indication of how any team will finish a given season. What it does note though is that the national narrative around the Cowboys is starting to change ever so slightly. There’s even a perceived confidence in Kellen Moore as people tend to buy that he’s going to have a worthy impact on offense.What do you think of the hype? Justified? Misplaced? Things are changing.
