Been thinking that all along. Both the Panthers and Eagles are focusing on getting younger and faster and have dumped a lot of players in the off season.

Big difference is that the Panthers have an excellent offensive line, a defense with leadership and strong core, and what looks to be a manageable schedule. Eagles offensive line is a mess, their defense has no real leadership on the field (with numerous holes), and what looks like a brutal schedule.

Eagles will probably miss the playoffs and people will be quick to point out that it is because of getting rid of McNabb, but that will probably be the least of the reasons why.

Not the biggest Eagles fan, but don't the Eagles have a pretty damn HUGE offensive line? I thought that was one of their strong points.

Nah, the Dallas Cowboys defensive line was practically Roethlisbergering McNabb in the playoff game.

I think that you guys will do OK this year, but should have some struggles, jus like I am predicting for the Panthers.

On the D, you do have Bradley and Cole...they may work out in the leadership roles for you.

In the long run both the Panthers and Eagles will probably be just OK this year, but this offseason sets them up for quite a few years down the road.

That is the perspective people need to have for both teams. Take one step back to take two steps forward.

(and I agree Bradley can be a leader, just sucks he never saw the field last year)

Thats the way I am feeling about both teams at this moment.

The only thing that we did as a FO this year that has got me up in arms is giving up next seasons 2nd to get Edwards, but even that is not that big of a deal. (draft could be weak leading up to the shut out, and Edwards could be the real deal).

Both teams have some talent, although I think that the Cats do have a little more throughout than the birds, and both teams are setting themselves up for the long term.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I wrote a long dissertation on who they would pick, breaking down the draft by needs and player availability and concluded (at that time) that we would go WR in the first.  Being right is humbling and dignifying.  I predicted that the Panthers would draft Matthew Golden.

      First of all, DJ had 788 yards as a rookie And second, KB was playing with Cam the year before he won MVP, and while Olsen had the exact same 1,008 yards as KB that year, next on the list was Cotchery with 580 and then 4th was Philly Brown with 296. KB had 73 receptions on 146 targets that year, THAT'S why he had 1k+ yards, not because he was some dominant WR, there were no other WR options on that team at all. If you say Thielen and Olsen are somewhat equal, particularly in role and ability, then XL/Coker >>>>>> Cotchery/Brown. Yes, T-Mac very well could get there, and this isn't me hedging on the ability of my guy.  It's that we should in theory have a lot of good receiving options and in his rookie year, I can see how T-Mac can have a good season but still not get to 1k this year because of it. In year 2 when we lose Thielen and he has that year under his belt, then yea, I'll say right now, I'm expecting a 1,200 yard season at minimum from him in 2026.  But I just think expecting 1k this first year given the weapons we have and being a run first offense, isn't fair to T-Mac. Again, just look at MHJ for what an uber talented rookie is likely to do when there is another legit receiving option there.  Nabers and BTJ were the only games in town for them last year, Puka the year before had a lot of time as the only option there while Kupp was hurt. If that happens to us next year with Thielen/XL/Coker, then yea, I'll then say T-Mac should get that 1k mark, but I'm not going to make my expectations based on expecting injuries.
