Is Philly better at building teams than us?

they always have a dominant two way dt. they had f cox for a decade. Now they have two younger d tackles with cox still rotating. we have good outside guys like ware and
Micah. Their defenses are consistently more physical and better against the run. we both build up the o lines and receiver corps. you can argue daks a better qb. they have two number one wr s and a top te. they made two superbowls in the last 5 years. we often rush the passer and cover well but struggle defending the run. Is that the key?

They have a different philosophy is all. cox was available to us(we chose Mo instead) but he’s not the type of DT we go for.

Cowboys value speed and agility over girth and power.

Our DT isn't allowed to make plays until he's in his 3rd year

also Micah is the best def player . but. I think he still has a lb er body. I think he can change his body and become a better pass rusher but lose some coverage skills. he has a choice to make. become the best d end you can be or stay a elite end but not your best and elite lb er.

they always have a run stopping defense and pass rushing dt
Yeah but it’s not like their defense is ranked higher than ours every year. Matter of fact outside the superbowl years we’ve actually had higher ranked defense than them most the time.

Only thing they do better is draft DT and that’s because of their philosophy on how they prefer their DT to be built like

They have a GM that seems to be really good at trading average QBs for 1st round picks. I’m still annoyed that Min traded a first for Bradford of all people. Then once they have extra picks it seems they are pretty good at flipping them to creat more value.

they realized their qb wasn't it and traded him. meanwhile we refuse to let dak go.
They invested much more extensively without more recent success...until Hurts and a large pool of players arrived. Paint the picture truthfully.
