no, I don't
Pretty much this for me, ES.
Hold off on anointing that GM as a Whiz-kid. He put all of the eggs in one basket for 2017. He's had to mortgage even more in an attempt to field a similar product for 2018. The 2018 draft and 2019 Cap situation are pointing towards a situation that we Dallas fans are familiar with the past decade (starting in around 2009). Not a bad trade-off to do it for one shot at a Lombardi, but it's not sustainable pissing away draft capitol and signing so many FAs which mandates restructuring contracts and cutting guys to get under the cap (losing out on comp picks).
Ah, so you're one of those fans, ey?
i was rootin' eagles in SB...the second thing i love to cowboys is i love to hate the Cheat-riots...i was happy when Brady got crushed
armadillo--- hey man i must agree with your assessment...i have no problem being honest about conditions of teams..and Eagles are looking good here in the summer...i am hoping Cowboys pull it together and stay healthy too and Eagles wont stay healthy which changes how good a team is and we hand Eagles two losses both times we play them...and we take NFC East and at least make it to NFC champ game
Minnesota should be formidable
I've been to Philly. My two older brothers and father are from there/live there and are diehard Eagles fans. The people there are cool and "hey, dude, what's up" type of guys. Yeah, they tend to drink quite a bit.
He took over a team decimated by chip Kelly and put together a team that won a Superbowl two years later. I would say that he has an understanding of how to win in the nfl. Next comes the challenge of managing the salary cap. Admittedly that's as difficult as recognizing talent.
Howie was the GM from 2010 until Chip took over, so this wasn't like a Doogie Howser situation. Anyway, in his second stint at GM, he threw cap and draft capitol around like it was crack-rock, lucked into a desperate Vikings team (Bradford to recoup draft capitol) and was even more fortunate to land Pederson. Stars aligned. However, Roseman, "The Genius" GM, is overextending to the point that he's soon (2019) to be either validated by his universal praise for the past year or be known as the "whiz-kid" that mortgaged everything for 1 shot at the big one at the consequence of being a basement dwelling team for 3-4 years. Either he's a genius for finding a new way to bet big and win SB's in the cap era or he's like everyone else besides Belichick....
Whoa there. Channeling my inner Bill Parcells, tap the breaks on the hype. They’re a good team, but not appreciatively different than the ‘07 Giants and they only won one more. Winning 5 or 6 more puts above the Patriots for the greatest team of the Super Bowl era. Geez, how ‘bout we see how they follow up this year before predicting them the Ali of the NFL.
when chip came in they had desean Jackson, lesean McCoy, and Jeremy maclin, all of whom chip got rid of. so he knows talent. they also had a relatively good defense. regardless of how you look at it, good talent costs big bucks. can't fault the guy for spending what the cap allows. there's no other way. you have to spend it. you can't save it. you'll never roll a seven if you don't roll the dice.
