The 1989-90 Dallas Cowboys roster was just as young, if not younger. The difference was that Jimmy Johnson actually knew what the hell he was doing. Thats why you saw improvement. 

 

 

This isn't true.

 

According to Profootball reference.com, that 1990 Dallas team had ONE (1) rookie starter in the starting 22, and that was Emmitt Smith.  They had two other players who were in their second year of the NFL-Aikman and Stepnoski.  They had 5 players who were in their 3rd seasons in 1990:  Irvin, Norton, James Washington, DE Daniel Stubbs, and FB Tommie Agee.

 

That's 8 players total in their starting 22 with 3 years of experience or less.

This year's Jaguars?

 

There have been SIX (6) rookie starters on offense alone:

 

Bortles

Lee

A. Robinson

Linder

Bowanko

Hurns

 

There appears to be a 7th who will ascend to starting status before too long (Storm Johnson).

 

There are another four (4) who are in their second season of NFL football

Joeckel

Cyprien

Gratz

Reynolds
