Your analysis of the Cowboys is dead on.
I think the division winner will be determined by the health of the starting QB's. To me, the most glaring flaw of each of the teams in the division is the lack of a quality backup QB.
Cowboys - Tony Romo suffered a serious back injury late last season, so there is no telling how many hits he'll be able to take or if he will be a be to regain the mobility that has given other teams fits and extended plays. His backup is Brandon Weeden. Are you kidding me? If the Cowboys are forced to go with Weedon, they're dead.
Eagles - Their starter is healthy and talented but if they should be forced to go with Matt Barkley for any length of time, it will hurt them because Barkley just doesn't have an NFL arm, IMO.
Giants - After having a horrible 2013 season, Eli Manning has now had ankle surgery. Chances are that he is not going to have an easy recovery from surgery on such a complcated joint. Curtis Painter is a joke of a backup and I doubt that they can get much out of Ryan Nassib.
Redskins - Kirk Cousins had a chance to show what he could do as a starter last season and he didn't play well. The Redskins didn't win any of the games he started to finish out the season. The Redskins had better hope that RGIII stays healthy this season.
:goodjob:
Couldn't have said it any better.
