QB's of the top 3 teams (record wise) in the NFC:
I think guys like Foles and Luck are just as likely to become elite as the guys you listed. Also, what else do those 3 QBs have in common? That's right--an elite defense.......
Yes their defense play a massive part in their record, but I'm pretty sure Flacco and Eli and Ben's defenses had something to do with their titles too.
I'm not really sure, I don't think that he'll be too highly regarded as a free agent. Especially since he was considered a journeyman type of a guy before this season and I expect a lot of people to devalue his production as a product of the system. I think he can be re-signed to a reasonable/good value deal and I doubt he Eagles have soured on him. Ditto with Maclin since he's been oft-injured, I bet he'll be looking to sign a 1 one year deal to prove himself and get a big contract in 2015 unless someone is already willing to pay big this year. Would love to see the Eagles be the team that signs him to that type of a "prove it" contract and get good value.
I don't think so. I believe we can meet the price he'd get on the FA market and he's a nice fit here. It would make sense for both side to get a 3 year deal IMO.
I don't care if its Cunningham, Johnson, Maehl, Smith or Avant. We need a guy with upside behind Jackson and Cooper if he's resigned.
Who cares though? I don't think I was a hater of his to start but I certainly wasn't a believer. He has certainly proven me wrong. But he also seems like he doesn't care what people think or in some cases, uses it as motivation. He seems perfect for the Philly media b/c all he seemingly cares about is winning and getting better. Critical of his own game and not looking for recognition. If anything, I think the questioning of his game will just make him that much more motivated.
I think they will because he will be a "bargain". I think they go into the off season try to resign Maclin & Cooper, cut Avant, sign a FA safety, draft a WR, LB/DE and a couple of secondary players. I really do not want to see Chung on this team next year and I would be really happy if we could upgrade Allen as well.
Safty should also be a priority. Nate Allen played his best ball, but like you said we still need a upgrade. Wolff has starter talent, but he couldn't stay healthy. I understand what they were trying to do with Phillips and Chung but it didn't work out. Another set of high upside FA and draftpicks should do the trick. If not we can start talking about a curse from letting go of B-Dawk. I'm not a C. Williams fan at all. Fletcher is no better than Williams. They can tackle but they can't cover worth ####. Boykins is a stud in the slot. We definitly need to adrees the secondary.
I dont know if that applies to them. They seem to churn out LBers and have no issues letting good ones leave.
Sounded like he does from his presser, sang Avant's praises which is why I think he's back. He had a lot to with settling the Cooper comments and wasn't afraid to get in Deseans face a few weeks back on the sideline. Seems like a Chip guy.Deamon said:

Also - I didn't realized Byrd and Ward both went to Oregon. I sort of dismissed them when they were considered the top tier safeties available, and Byrd, potentially, as one of the biggest names in free agency. I think they're both on the short side for what Chip would like, but they both fit in the age range of most of our free agent acquisitions from last year.
When you have a moment can you see how our defense was on a per play basis as well as who our best DB's were?
DBs
20th overall defense. Overall grade of 9.1. Our run defense was our best category at 41.3, or 11th best in the league. Pass Rush was -21.4 (21st), Pass Coverage was -28.8 (22nd) , penalty was 18 (11th).
I'm not saying that PFF has to be the gold standard, but why do you think Cortland Finnegan is better than that?
Pitt will try to keep Worilds as a top priority. If they do, Woodley is likely gone after the June 1st cuts.
Hard not to root for Foles, seems like a real high character/hard-working dude.
FTR, this was inaccurate. I apparently had the wrong sort on.
There's a difference between their signature stats quarterback rating and their positional quarterback rating. I don't fully understand the difference, but with one he is #1, and with the other, he is #16.
