Did Philly pass Dallas as favorite to win the East

The Eagles had the #1 run game and they have a dual threat QB who can be just good enough in the passing game.

They went all in on Hurts because his replacement wasn't in this draft but he might be in the next one with as many as 5 QB's being talked about going in the top 10. They also traded for the best WR to give him in the league, he was made for that type of QB.

They came together as a team in the last half of the season with the most questionable talent of all 14 playoff teams and that's a credit to a coaching staff I had laughed at.

I don't like the Eagles but I sure as hell respect them because they get the players to buy in at the most critical times like when Pederson got them the trophy and saving their season last year.

If the Eagles had Prescott, this would be reversed. Hurts is the only thing holding them back because they play as well as a team as any in the NFL.

Not if Slappy is suspended for the whole season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a big ? because the NFLPA will get involved with that if this last Grand Jury decides not to act. It is different when the legal system has become involved and can't get a verdict and they can't even get an indictment against him.

With Elliott, they chose not to pursue it in court but they've been trying to nail Watson and have failed every time.

Should be a break out year for Ceedee vs Wash., NY., Phila. While even healthy Cooper competition is no cake walk vs. Steelers, Ravens, Bengals Defenses
I just believe Cooper is that much better than CeeDee.

Cooper is also with coaches and a QB that will make it a point to get him the ball.

We'll see how they do when Cooper isn't around taking the main attention away.

Here's a little prediction for ya: Cooper will 100% have a better season than CeeDee will next year.
It is possible as there are less targets in Cleveland. Also, Watson has a tendency to lock onto one receiver, unlike Dak.

My question with Cooper is, will he get hurt? Cold weather, basically the Siberia of the NFL....i think he bows out in December...

Cooper missed 2 games while he was with the Cowboys and it wasn't because of injury.

He will be fine.

We better all pray that Carson Strong's knees are as bad as advertised. This kid was the best QB in the draft. He is immediately the best QB on the roster. If his horrific knees hold up at all.
Not worried about any QB in this class, probably one of the worst we have seen in several years.

The Eagles now have the best WR unit in the NFL?

By adding a guy with 60 catches last year?

Nah bro...
That guy with only 60 catches is better than anyone Dak is going to throw to.

That is funny because that 60 catch guy has never had a better season than the one Ceedee had last year.

Interesting though.

They won't. Carson Strong is a statute who will get pounded. He makes Joe Flacco look mobile.

Lots of people overlook Jeff Stoutland, probably the best O-Line coach in the game. He took a giant rugby player who never played a down of NFL and turned him into a solid LT. Hell, Mailata should have make the Pro Bowl. He took a rookie in Dickerson, moved his position, and the man is becoming a beast. I wish we had Jeff Stoutland.
