2012 Cowboys: Best and Worst Player, Under and Overachiever and 2012 Predictions

While the Giants and Patriots prepare for the Super Bowl next week, the Dallas Cowboys continue to wonder what if. What if they beat the Giants on that early December Sunday evening? What if they beat them on New Year's Day? But, they did not.

So, as the offseason nears, what can we expect from the Dallas Cowboys in 2012?

Best Player: DeMarco Murray. With a true offseason to train and get healthy, Murray will enter 2012 as the lead horse for the Cowboys. He will pick up where he left off and will challenge many Cowboys single-season rushing records in 2012.

Worst Player: Felix Jones. 2012 will finally signal the end of the Felix Jones experiment in Dallas. The combination of injuries, ineffectiveness and Murray’s emergence will spell the end of Jones.

Underacheiver: Gerald Sensabaugh. In class Cowboys form, Sensabaugh will underachieve the season following a big contract. Last year, Jerry Jones awarded him with $22.5 million dollars, and this coming season, Sensabaugh will make him regret that decision.

Overachiever: Doug Free. Although he had an abysmal 2011 season, his switch to the right side in 2012 will rejuvenate his career.

Five Cowboys who will not be in Dallas in 2012: Terence Newman, David Buehler, Keith Brooking, Kyle Kosier and Martellus Bennett.

Predictions: 10-6, sixth seed in the Playoffs, Wild Card win and a Divisional Round loss.
