I do think to say that they don't have a chance to compete because of their QB is ignoring all the talent that has developed in the last two years since I started the "Is it me, or do the Eagles have no talent" thread back in the Summer of '06.

Top to bottom, they are the deepest team in the NFC this side of Green Bay. They have the best offensive weapon in the conference, and have really, really invested heavily in both of their lines. For the first time since 2003, they go three deep with competent corners, and when they do add free agents, they make it someone like Chris Clemons, who we Redskins fans know can produce at DE.

Even at the Quarterback position, they are in better position now to deal with a McNabb injury than at any point last year, with Kolb having spent his rookie year under the tutilage of Reid and Morninweg.

I think it's fallacious to act like they are McNabb's team, because they are a very good team, QB aside. If McNabb plays decent football, they probably win the East, but again, I'm not totally confident that he will play his best this year.

yeah the eagles kinda scare me for all the reasons you stated except i think mcnabb (if healthy) could really play well. he has all the motivation in the world to want to come out and let his play do some of the talkin and it seemed he was doing just that last year until he got injured and slowed down. if mcnabb goes down before the halfway mark of the season i dont think they have a chance at first in the nfc east.

either way the nfc east is stacked. again. its a blessing and curse to be in the best division in football. nice use of the word "fallacious" to gtrip.

go skins!
