The NE Patriots are rebuilding. Their D is old and slow, and they traded away their best defensive player before the season even started. Their coach is a proven winner with 3 SB rings. Their QB is still gunshy from his injury, and their 2nd best offensive player was out for the season. On top of that, they have a boat load of extra draft picks the next 2 years. They have a much greater capacity to improve without "blowing it up" than Dallas does. No parallel with the Cowboys whatsoever.
The Eagles are supposedly considering trading their QB in favor of a young guy. They need to do something, because what they're doing doesn't work, not if the goal is to win a SB. Many of their fans have been clamoring for major change for years....and guess what? Their fans were right. The Reid/McNabb collaboration has been going for a decade with no rings to show for it. I'd rather not compare the Cowboys to that.
The Ravens have a 2nd year QB. Can't really compare a team with a novice QB to ours, not when ours is probably at his peak. The 2 leaders of their defense are long in the tooth. Don't know if their owner will spend the $$$ to make major changes, but they know they need major help on both sides of the ball if they expect to truly contend. They aren't blowing it up, but if they expect to compete they know they need major changes.
The Cardinals are just glad to be at the dance. They'll be back in 5-11 territory next year if Warner retires. Please don't ever compare us to them.
