If they were so good at managing the cap they would have won a SB by.

Our SBs don't mean a thing since none came in the cap era. We are even worse at the cap in my opinion.

I agree that we are worse at cap management than the Eagles, but only one team out of 32 wins the Super Bowl each year. It is an extremely elusive goal. They have had more consistent success this decade than any other team in the NFC. And a big reason for that success is their effective management of the salary cap. Just b/c they haven't won the whole thing doesn't mean they haven't been a very good team. By your rationale, 31 out of the 32 teams in the league do a poor job managing their cap every year b/c they didn't win the Super Bowl. I just don't think that's accurate. Again, not slurping the Eagles, just looking at the facts.
