Terry, Terry....
Here is some more evidence/benefits of playing the youth.
I also follow the Dallas Cowboys and have been thrilled with their progress... why youth.. its taken a few years but see parallels with RFC .

IRVING – Although they occasionally drive you crazy because of their flaws, these Cowboys are a special bunch for one reason: They continually find ways to win.
An onside kick recovery against Buffalo and subsequent field goal on the final play. A blocked field goal return for a touchdown against Minnesota. Four touchdowns from Terrell Owens against Washington.
An interception return touchdown by Terence Newman against the Jets. Four touchdown passes by Tony Romo against Green Bay.
The list could go on and on and on.
Understand, the Cowboys used to find new and exciting ways to lose several games a year as recently as last season. And, no, it didn't matter that Bill Parcells was their coach.
That's not a knock on Parcells, simply a fact.
You remember the debacle against Washington last year, when the Cowboys somehow attempted a game-winning field goal on the final play of a tie game and it turned into a gut-wrenching loss.
How about the loss at Seattle in 2005, when Drew Bledsoe threw one of the worst interceptions in NFL history as Dallas allowed 10 points in the final 40 seconds to blow a seven-point lead. And we really don't even need to talk about the botched snap against Seattle in the playoffs last season.
Now, though, luck is on the Cowboys' side. All is right in the universe. God is, once again, looking through the hole in the roof and smiling on his beloved football team.
Whatever.
The Cowboys are 12-1 because their young talent stockpiled over the last five seasons has matured. These days – like all good teams – they find ways to win instead of lose. More important, Dallas can beat you multiple ways.

Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten's catch in last Sunday's win over Detroit capped a comeback from a 13-point deficit. Against Detroit, were you really surprised when Ware harassed Jon Kitna on the game's most important third down and forced an incompletion? Were you really surprised when Romo led a flawless fourth-quarter drive in the last two minutes? Or when Witten caught the game-winning touchdown with 18 seconds left?
"When a team plays as well as Detroit did," Jerry Jones said, "you're supposed to lose."
Except that these Cowboys have been making big plays with the game on the line all season.
It's the reason they're 6-0 on the road and have nine come-from-behind victories.
They never, ever panic.
Don't forget, they rallied from a 14-3 deficit to take a 24-21 lead over the Patriots before succumbing, 48-27. If not for Kyle Kosier's holding penalty, which negated a fourth-and-1 conversion in the fourth quarter, the game might not have been decided until the final minute.
At the time, the Cowboys trailed 31-24.
"This is the first team I've been a part of that plays all the way to the end in every game," said Flozell Adams, a man of few words. "We continue to persevere and hammer away until we win."
Perhaps that's why you didn't hear any players apologizing for their 28-27 win over Detroit.
In the past, they know the Cowboys would've lost that game. No doubt.
Times have changed.
