    Can't see the Eagles winning the division tbh not with what they have offensively. Tbh I think the Giants might be a bigger threat next season if Eli can actually play consistently & mistake free like he did last season for the most part.

    Philly was 3rd in the NFL in scoring last year. They got better at QB...if bradford stays healthy (big if) he is better than foles. If sanchez has to play he will be better than last year since he has more experience in the system and isn't coming off an injury like last season. Although the loss of McCoy hurts the group is stronger as a unit with Murray, Mathews, and Sproles. Also, Sproles as the #3 back will allows Chip to be more creative with how he uses him. The WR core is obviously weaker with the loss of Maclin so guys like Agholor and Ertz will have to step up. And the losses of Mathis and Herremans on the line aren't a big deal both guys were aging and are past their prime.

    If you can't tell I'm an Eagles fan :useyourhead:

    You're not really understanding how ridiculous those running lanes really are. I don't care if you have Moss and Rice on the same squad, they're not helping those linemen make THOSE holes.

    The whole point I'm making is, you do NOT need to sign Dez long term. You are handicapping yourself in the long run and making it way more difficult to KEEP those linemen, who are the CORE of your offense.

    Not only that, but if you somehow are able to keep Dez and those linemen, where does the rest of the money go? That means you will be a new version of the Colts, where you overload all your money offensively, and are unable to build a solid defense.

    I'm not questioning Dez's abilities.... Just like I never doubted Moss's. They're special talents, but should only be picked up for cheap by teams with a solid system, or by desperate teams. Point blank.

    Yup. And I gotta say I'm shocked Evan Mathis is still a free agent.

    You don't know if Bradford is better than Foles or if Foles is better than Bradford, neither have played long enough to determine that. Both are promising but Eagles took a chance on a QB with a really big injury concern which really didn't make much sense. Lol @ Mathis being past his prime, he was rated the best guard in football last season by pro football focus. Herremans was good as well too, those are two gapping holes that the Eagles are going to have to fill which isn't going to be easy considering the lack of quality depth they have at O Line. Murray is also injury prone, not to mention history tells us that RB's who touch the ball 370 times or more don't do very good the following year. If for whatever reason Sanchez has to take over again, we all know what he has to offer, mediocrity. He was mediocre last year, he was mediocre with the Jets, that's not going to change nor will he lift your offense in anyway.

    Defensively Eagles look promising. Great D Line, good linebacking core but then comes the secondary. Secondary improved but it came at a cost. Eagles over paid the h--- out of Maxwell who can be a good #2 corner but is going to be playing #1 for the Eagles & he didn't play all that well last season either.

    Signing Dez isn't going stop us from resigning our O Line. Tyron Smith is already locked up for like 10 years lol, Fredrick is the next linemen due for a contract & he still has 3 years left on his rookie contract, Zach Martin still has 4 years left on his rookie contract, Free just got an extension & it was for relatively cheap, Leary is still signed for a couple more seasons but he might not even be a starter anymore with us signing La'el Collins, them two are going to battle it out in camp for the starting guard position. Not to mention we drafted a vast majority of these linemen, meaning we can franchise tag them too if necessary. I'm not worried about signing these guys, it'll get done.

    This article does a good job at breaking down Dez's contract & explains how it's really not all to bad.

    ^I'm an Eagles fan and I will admit I think Dez Bryant is a Top 3 receiver in the league and one of my favorite players to watch. I bet he's the Cowboys all-time leading receiver when all is said and done.

    Haven't been this confident/excited for the Cowboys since the 07 season. Unless Romo gets injured & is out for a long period of time, there's no reason why we shouldn't win the division again.

    Hate unfunny tryhards like poison tbh. Probably the most unlikeable guy in sports. You are a certified square if you're picking up what he's putting down.

    Kind of don't care what Watt does outside of football to be quiet honest lol. He's a great player with good character. In a league that has had women beaters, child beaters & murderers, he's fine in my book lol
