[QUOTE=sportscurmudgeon;756536]As the resident "trying to keep it real" guy around her for the last 5 years or so, I have to say that the Dallas Cowboys underachievement so far in 2010 is stunning.

Looking at the players on the field this season only - - forget all about potential and previous glory and all that stuff because the games are being played in the present tense - - the Cowboys have a significantly more talented roster than the Redskins. Nevertheless, they are 1-6; the Redskins are 4-4. You are what your record says you are...

Let's compare starting rosters in 2010:

Offensive line: Maybe - - I said MAYBE - - Trent Williams could start for Dallas this season. Other than that, there is no offensive lineman on the Skins' roster who would play for the Cowboys. Advantage: Big Edge to Cowboys!

Tight End: As good as Chris Cooley is, he would not start over Jason Witten. Advantage: Cowboys

WRs: Santana Moss could make the Cowboys team and compete for a starting spot. That's it. NO ONE ELSE on the Redskins' roster at WR even makes the Dallas team except perhaps Armstrong as a special teams' guy.Advantage: Edge to Cowboys

QB: McNabb (the 2010 version not some idealized memory of him 5 years ago) is better than Romo (the 2010 version not some hyped memory of him stepping into the breach for the Cowboys at QB several years ago). If McNabb had a star on his helmet, he would start and Romo would sit. Advantage: Skins I agree with everything except the Romo and Spencer comparisons. Carter is not a LB. He's barely a DE.
