NFL Insiders Debate: Which Thanksgiving team has most long-term upside?

NFL, Detroit Lions

Our five-person NFL Insiders panel debates how Matthew Stafford stacks up against the top-tier QBs. Plus: Which team playing on Thanksgiving is best set up for the future? And who's tougher for defenses to handle: Le'Veon Bell or Antonio Brown?

Which of the six teams playing on Thanksgiving is best set up for success three years from now?

Bowen: It's the Cowboys because of the talent on the offensive line and the youth with both Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. Remember, the teams that can control the line of scrimmage, run the ball and get production from the QB position are set up to win. It's really not that complicated. Dallas has the key building blocks to maintain its offensive identity and consistently compete while developing players on the defensive side of the ball.
