The NFC East really is a train wreck/dumpster fire. I think pretty much anyone has a chance to win it if they can just get/stay fairly healthy. The Skins are the reigning champs so I think it's only right to favor them going in, but with that said I don't think they'll win it, nobody repeats anymore though they have as good a chance as anyone. Cousins played well last season, I think mainly because he stayed within himself and within the offense, rather than being a "gunslinger". As long as he stays within his limits like he did last season I think he'll do just fine. What happens though if/when that defense doesn't play as well as they did last season and he has to push the envelope a little more? Who knows but I think they're going to miss Knighton, Gilesy, why did they just let him walk? I thought he did a good job last season?

Knighton was bad for us. I had a lot of hope for him, but he just didn't play well last year. I would expect the defense to play better than it did last year; we had injuries all across the board on defense. We missed probably the 2 best defensive players for most of the year, Galette and Culliver. I think they will attack the draft with defensive players. Defense should improve; the pass rush with Kerrigan, Galette, and Smith should be pretty tough. Getting Culliver back would be great. Safety play was terrible last year (improved when Hall moved to FS) and it looks like we are going with Hall and Bruton, which should be an upgrade. The loss of Hatcher could be felt, but I think they draft DL early and the draft is loaded at DL. Getting Paea back should help.

Cmon man, that really isn't a good argument. Look at the offense he ran at Oregon. Virtually all scouting reports talk about how often he threw screens or to wide open guys. You can't look at college completion percentage and call someone accurate. I mean Vernon Adams completed like 65% this year.

He also played behind a **** OL with no great WR options. And despite playing in just 12 games (he was knocked out early in 2 other games as well), had 19 passing TDs and a 62.2 completion percentage.
There are certainly areas that MM needs to improve. But he just had a better rookie season than the majority of rookie QBs over the last 10 years.
Eagles sending a haul to Cleveland to move up for Wentz looks like. Makes the Bradford deal look even worse.
Yeah to me too, but an FCS qb would need to sit a year so ? Bradford may still appeal to someone next season though .

Suspensions for both Randy Gregory and DeMarcus Lawrence. Do they draft DE now?
