Rob Gronkowski selected the Dallas Cowboys as the team he thinks can win the Super Bowl after the 2023 NFL season. Thanks, Rob I might want that to be true as do millions of other fans of the Dallas Cowboys.
I like how @RobGronkowski thinks when it comes to the Cowboy's odds of making it to Las vegas. ~BG pic.twitter.com/XKngwuYvC0

While Gronk believes the Dallas Cowboys have the talent to get to the big game I must withhold my thoughts about that until we play the regular season games.
I firmly believe the Dallas Cowboys are in a much better position than they’ve been in a long time to be playing in the Super Bowl. However, we all know that health matters, and if the Dallas Cowboys can remain a healthy team then certainly they can defeat anyone in the NFL.
My Question Marks?
I am not one to ever place blame on losses on one position especially against a quarterback. So you’re not going to find me saying if Dak Prescott does this or that the Dallas Cowboys will win a Super Bowl. Despite the attention the position receives only ONE QB has ever been the regular season passing leader and gone on to win a Super Bowl. That just happened last season folks when Patrick Mahomes did the job for the Kansas City Chiefs.
My question marks on the Dallas Cowboys winning a Super Bowl do lie with the offensive line and the health and usage of Tony Pollard as a number-one running back. If the offensive line can remain healthy I believe that the Cowboys can win a Super Bowl. Zach Martin is re-signed and that is a great thing for the offensive line.
Tyron Smith has a Healthy 20 games this season I’ll Fkin Buy his SuperBowl Jersey!!! Bookmark this shit!
Everyone is Happy about Zach.

If Tyron Smith plays even 17 or 18 games as the left tackle for the Cowboys then yes I love the chances the Cowboys have of making a Super Bowl run.
As for Tony Pollard being the number one running back option, we shall see how the Dallas Cowboys use him and as well how many touches he actually gets each week. Deuce Vaughn has to be used after what we saw from him thus far.
I believe Ceedee Lamb is a true number one wide receiver with Brandin Cooks as a solid number two option and if Michael Gallup can return to his form from before his ACL tear along with Jalen Tobert they have enough depth at wide receiver to compete with anyone.
The NFC East
Tell me again how the Dallas Cowboys have this record against their division rivals and how Dak Prescott isn’t a winner. You bet I have respect for the Philadelphia Eagles but let’s not just hand them the division or a return trip to the Super Bowl as of yet okay?
The New York Giants will be improved from a team that made a miracle run last season and the Washington Commanders are also going to be a better team than many imagine them to be. However, when it comes to NFC East games it’s the Dallas Cowboys who improved just as much as anyone else in the division.
Adding Cooks to the receiver core and Stephon Gilmore as the other boundary cornerback opposite Trevon Diggs makes them just as good as any other defense in the division. Micah Parsons has looked so good in practice and has boldly stated his case as to why he wants to be in Super Bowl and good on him for being so committed and stating his case.
#Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons needs 13 sacks to become the second player since 1982 to reach the mark in each of his first three NFL seasons, joining Reggie White.

So all those Georgia Bulldogs defensive players added to the Eagles’ roster will be matched by the Dallas Cowboys’ very talented defense. As my first clicked article points out this Dallas Cowboys defense can break team’s hearts and they will be gunning to make sure that the Dallas Cowboys at least play in the NFC Championship game.
Make no mistake I am not predicting anything with this article. Simply pointing out why I believe this group of Cowboys can indeed be playing in Super Bowl LVIII.
I currently have the Dallas Cowboys going 12-5 for the third straight season the same record I have for the Philadelphia Eagles. We shall see what happens but this playoff run might not have the San Francisco 49ers facing the Dallas Cowboys. If that happens I firmly believe that this version of the Dallas Cowboys can indeed be playing at Allegiant Stadium on February 11th, 2024.
