POLL Which team will win the NFC East

[RememberTheKoy]

I'll expand my thoughts here @RememberTheKoy

Here is reality, Dallas has a QB they believe in, Philly doesn't. At no point has the Philly brass shown complete confidence in Hurts by offering a long term deal, they're basically telling him to prove it. They got him all the weapons and supporting cast he could ask for, and if he doesn't get it done they're going to go in a different direction next year. Trust me, there isn't a GM in the NFL that would prefer Hurts over Dak. You can take that to the bank.

They can't offer him a new deal. He's only entering his 3rd year. He isn't eligible for an extension u til next year.

I haven't said teams would take Hurts over Dak, you're arguing over something I've never said. Eagles do have a better roster though and that's a perk that you can get when you have a QB on a rookie deal compared to a QB on one of the largest contracts in the league.

????

Cousins
Ryan
Murray
Dak
Tannehill

Those are tier 2 qbs at best,

Cousins folds in big games
Ryan is old and can't make all the throws anymore
Murray folds under pressure
Dak is another Cousins
Tannenhill is tier 3 qb

I tend to agree with what @Battlelyon said

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Dallas just ahead of Philly. The other two don't matter.

 

[Battlelyon]

I'm wrong?

Dak and Cousins are 2-5 in the playoffs in 16 seasons, they are who they are.
Murray has had second half collapses the last two seasons, and has clear leadership/maturity issues.
Tannenhill is a game manager and when he is asked to perform, you get last years playoff result.

Tyron Smith tore his left hamstring yesterday.

This is a huge development because Dallas has little depth as always under Jerry. They will likely have to play rookie Tyler Smith, who they had hoped to start at LG, at LT now, or try to trade for someone.

So right now, I think Philly has a good shot to take this division, followed by Commander Wentz, followed by Dallas. The Giants have no shot, they are a hot mess.

I could see them falling to 3rd possibly and taking a step back. Cooper gone, Wilson gone, Gallup hurt.....they have Lamb (who is really good) and a rookie at receiver. No depth at receiver. The OL is questionable and I think Zeke has a chance to bounce back but think the Cowboys might be more focused on Pollard as their present and future.....

Their defense should be really good but the offense could be middle of the pack with all the questions on offense.

And if any of them were the Rams QB you'd be telling us how they are All Pros. Par for the course...

If Dak, Cousins or Tannehill were on the Rams.....you never would have traded for Stafford.

What was Stafford in the playoffs before he joined the Rams?

Glad I took Philly in the poll.

Again if you’re one of the cocksuckers who were against the Redskins name then STFU about the new name. If you weren’t one of the ones then yes I agree it’s a shitty name

LOL, relax man. You can't tell that I support the original Redskins name?

 

[PnkPanther]

who cares, they all suck

Brutal, that sounds very painful.

One never knows how an NFL season will play out, in particular in the NFC East, but Philly looks like the favorite now. Luckily they have Hurts who I think may possibly do well against poor teams but will struggle against good teams. That could be the equalizer for the rest of the Division. To me it's still a toss up on what will actually happen and unlike everyone else in this thread, I'm not ruling out the Giants either.

In the last 10 years the NFCE winner finished as follows the prior year:
2012 last
2013 last
2014 2nd
2015 last
2016 last
2017 last
2018 2nd
2019 2nd
2020 last
2021 3rd

So 6 out of 10 times the last place team from the year before won the division and 7 out of 10 times one of the bottom two won it. No one has repeated in a long time. Coin toss.
