As to the second, the Eagles have been irrelevant since the loss of Jim Johnson. That defense allowed Reid to be successful with flawed QB's. Reid could never get away from the passing game enough to realize that he always had better RB's than he did QB's. Westbrook/McNabb... Im taking Westbrook. Im also Taking Shady over Vick/Kolb/Foles.

I totally agree with your first point. I would say the Colts are one team for sure that has been successful and they did win one. I would say the Giants and their two superbowl victories. The Saints have been good for several years and have a ring to show for it. Packers too. Favre to Rodgers and each has a SB victory over that span.
As for your second point - yes the death of Jim Johnson was a huge part of the Eagles decline. However I wouldnt call Mcnabb a flawed QB. I think he was a great qb for several years in Philly.
