Can't have a long ball scheme with the shit we have now for damn sure. AND we can't run the ball with the shit we had. We could barely keep our QBs off IR. Oh wait...
Oddly enough the 90s Cowboys could do long ball just as easy as they shoved E. Smith up your ass down after down.
One doesn't preclude the other...

Manning is the best QB to ever play the game, do you expect Luck to be Manning? I think Luck as a prospect is much better than Eli, I think he is the best prospect to come out since Peyton. A more friendly scheme, and one that is more creative for today's NFL will help him a lot. But you look at his first two years before the injury and he is light years ahead of any other two year player I have seen. The problem is he elevated the team quite a bit above it's talent level. Like Peyton did.

The cowboys line was certainly great, but it was also a different era. griggs tried to emulate it and failed miserably. I think the entire league is desperate for oline talent, this past first round is evident of that.
