well i think its pretty much safe to say the eagles are not the favorites unless Brown steps it up huge

Key for them will be if their defense can resurect itself. Lost in the TO hoopla was the fact they got walked over last year.

You're probably right though. I don't think a team that can't run the ball and has the absolute slop at WR they do can win this division.

Well it's not that Westbrook can't run the ball it's just he isn't given enough rushes per game to reach 90-100 yds consistantly. However when you get more reception yards in a season than rushing yards as a RB I think its time to rework your running game as a coach no matter how effective westbrook is right now.

I don't think Westbrook is built to take a 20 carry a game pounding though, and if he does that takes him out of the passing game where he is much better.

And the RBs behind him are all hobbled with various injuries.

If I were an Eagle fan I would be scratching my head that the team didn't make a move for a solid between the tackles runner.

Its so hard to compare QB's

Aikman was a great QB......but he had talent around him that very few QB's ever had to play with......but he produced and won 3 SB's......he got the job done.

Brady is also a great QB.....u cant deny what he has done....look what he has won.......in just a short period of time.

I think the big thing about teams now and then is FA and the Cap. In NE played back then they could have afforded to keep some of the good players they have lost and recent years and even brought in some other good players.

You will never have teams like you did in the 90's and 80's with FA and the Cap. IMO.

I personally would not compare Aikman to Brady. Stats do not tell the whole story. Look at Marino. Has some of the best stats but never won a SB. Both QBs are great and a great fit to the system they are in. I do not know if Brady played with us in the 90s if he would have done as well as Aikman. Just like I do not know if Aikman would have done as well with the Pats. Just my opinion of couse. I do not see it matters. Both are incredible QBs and I personally would have taken either one of them over Marino who could never manage to win the big games.

They asked Bill Walsh if he could pick one QB to have coached, he picked Joe Namath with healthy knees. He believes he would have been successful in his system, it would of more tailored to the long pass, but he said they would have been more deadly! Marino would also have been pretty awesome with Emmitt, Michael and the rest from 92-95 also. I think he could have won a few more big games!

"dude u can ask that guy on cowboys.com who is better brady or aikmen and even he would say brady...tom brady is twice the qb aikmen was..the only reason aikmen is in the hof is b/c he has 3 rings...he had **** for stats every where else. See this is why people get mad when u argue w/ them. u always do what u just did and act like ur mr hot shot that knows everthing and always thinks he's right and u will keep saying the same thing u will go by single statistics u will go by single seasons but u dont look at the whole picture..which is their whole career. sure aikmen finished w/ a 99 rating 1 season but what did he finish w/ overall...an 81.6. brady's is already higher than that and i know it can still go down b4 his career is over but for right now brady is the better QB. and rodney over the past few yrs except for last yr and prolly this yr cuz of an injury(even tho i guess i cant use that as an excuse b/c u would say he should be good enough not to get hurt) has been better than roy...if u calculate their number even w/ rodney out for a whole season worth of stats he is still only 20 tackles behind roy and he has more sacks.the only thing roy beats him in is INTs and def TDs(which r numbers that arent rele accoisated w/ safeties) know tell me how aikmen is better than brady and roy is better than rod "


:lmao:
