Dak Prescott.

No, wait. Can I say Carson Wentz?

Would he really be a disappointment though? I don't think anyone expects much from him or Daniel Jones so if we frame "disappointment" in terms of "expectation" then I don't see how they qualify. I actually think the Giants might be a surprise this year. 7-8 or 8-7 wouldn't shock me. Last place schedule, DJ in a prove it year, weak division and every year there's always ONE team that nobody picked to do poo poo who at least clawed their way to mediocrity.

I guess the logical candidate/answer would be Jalen Hurts. If he regresses (or even plateaus) surrounded with what looks like a good set of weapons (OL, WR, RB), he's going to be Teddy Bridgewater with better legs and a perpetual mid tier starter for average teams.

Speaking of Washington, I stumbled on this Four Petty Things that Dan Snyder has done and even though it's a CRACKED article It's really something.

https://www.cracked.com/article_34718_4-of-the-pettiest-things-dan-snyders-ever-done.html

God, what an rear end in a top hat. You have to be an insufferable prick of the highest loving order when god damned rich white NFL owners are looking at you going "dude, really?" and think you're over the line. Right now he's on a yacht out to sea in international waters somewhere evading a congressional subpoena.

The Cardinals haven’t been in the NFC East in 20 years, and they barely were a part of it before then (Except for 1998 when they beat Dallas in the playoffs because the Cowboys losing is always cool and good).

In other "not really NFC East news," local arena football team is in the 2nd round of the playoffs and if they advance I feel like all of Dallas should ask the Cowboys why they can't do the same.


Public shaming clearly won't work on the Cowboys, but that doesn't mean we can't do it anyway to feel better.

Everything cowboys prognostication comes with the caveat that the team is actually just Jerry's Billion-Dollar version of Madden 20XX and that all rooting interest and any success the team has is in spite of that fact, and not because of it.

The only player with expectations and potential high enough to have the available Delta for largest disappointment is probably D ak. The only other candidate is hUrts.

If the Cowboys don't win, a couple of playoff games, and Dak doesn't have a huge season, he'll be considered a big disappointment.

If Jalen hurts has a terrible year in the eagles go like five and 12 or 6 and 11, then he'll be a moderate disappointment.

Parsons is much, much less likely to disappoint than the QBs, but he’s got the potential to fall the farthest imo

This would be a colossal disappointment. The team feels pretty strong just about everywhere except maybe safety and everyone knows the biggest variable right now is Jalen. Does he level off, improve modestly, improve as much as he did last year or (in your case) poo poo the bed? Really surprised that Dallas is still odds on to win this division and Philly's over/under is 8.5. I'd take the over on that all day.

Bonus Option: He gets hurt in week 4 and Minshew takes us to the playoffs.

I wonder how much slack the Eagles will give Hurts, but with the way that team is built, I wouldn't be shocked if they go to Minshew within 3 bad games. Then again, injuries and whatnot happen so it'll be interesting to see how things play out. But it's hard to say Hurts could be the biggest disappointment considering like half of all people are seemingly expecting his arm/vision to be a disaster.

Dak has got to have the biggest expectations and thus the highest chance to disappoint though.

if you can still get 8.5 put some real money on it. it’s been 9/9.5 most places the last month or two and over is -130
