30. Dallas Cowboys (-2)

What a nightmare. The Cowboys didn’t deserve to be down to their third-string quarterback and their millionth string offensive line, but here we are and it looks every bit as bad as you would expect.

Right now this team seems like they are on a collision course with a top-5 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and that is whether or not Andy Dalton comes back. Just using my imagination, I have to assume that means that Dak Prescott is about to get an obscene amount of money from the Cowboys.

If they are going to pull their way out of the basement here in these power rankings, the Cowboys are going to have to find ways to remind their playmakers to…make plays.

29. New York Giants (+0)

You were so close New York!

What a brutal way to lose a game, but this all goes back to reminding you that this season is telling you one thing: Daniel Jones is saltwater and you are dying on a life raft in the middle of the ocean.

Just because he is the only thing available to you right now, that doesn’t mean that you need to believe that he is the answer to your problems. Keep holding out hope that you can find land and get to some freshwater in the 2021 NFL Draft.

No matter which quarterback it is, anyone is better than Jones and even if you think he is worth something, don’t miss out on your chance to draft a franchise QB when subsequent drafts are just going to have less QB talent than this year.

Prey or Trevor Lawrence, but be ready to settle for something else, anything else!
