The Dallas Cowboys have seen notable performances and key players throughout their history. Dextor Clinkscale, praised by Gene Stallings for his intelligence, played a significant role in the 1985 season. Jerry Jones' acquisition of Tyron Smith in 2011 marked a shift in drafting strategy, leading to the selection of other impactful offensive linemen like Zack Martin, who boasts the highest PFF grade of any Cowboy since 2006. Fans express frustration with Jerry Jones' management style, citing his control over GM responsibilities and perceived ego-driven decisions. As training camp approaches, the anticipation builds, with standout players like Dak Prescott, who recently tied for the second-most games with at least 400 passing yards and a 70% completion rate in NFL history, leading the charge.
