Eli talent wise is the worst QB in this division and he did ride the the Giants defense to a SB win and I cannot knock them as a team for that.
The Pats win that meeting 9 out of 10 times and Eli tried as hard as possible to give that game to the Pats,so I cannot be told that Eli was the best player that day.
Anyways that is all in the past and I can't wait to see Eli(heading into his first season of his career w/o Buress or any sort of a true #1 WR).
Welcome to McNabbs world and I promise you that Eli doesn't possess what McNabb does to carry his team through out parts of the season.

You should be dude. The Eagles have a really good team this year. If they put it all together they might finally win a Super Bowl.
Hey I'm a realist and the Eagles have had their chances,but some how seem to always gag when it matters.
I do like their chances this year,but honestly any of the teams this year in the NFC East could represent the conference and I wouldn't in the least be shocked...;)

QB-Philly, NYG, Washington, Dallas; Romo takes a big step backwards without T.O. and Campbell takes a big step forward. McNabb is far and away the best in the division.
RB-Dallas, Washington, NYG, Philly; Barber, Jones and Choice could all start for some teams. Portis puts up his normal 1,300-11 TD season.
WR-Washington, Philly, Dallas, NYG; Surprisingly I feel like we have the fewest questions at WR. Philly and NY are putting a lot of faith in rookies and in Dallas, Roy Williams hasn't proven anything to show he's going to be a reliable #1.
TE-Dallas, Washington, Philly, NYG; Witten is one of the best in the game, Cooley not far behind him. The drop off is precipitous after those two.
OL-NYG, Philly, Washington, Dallas; Why Washington over Dallas? They are actually OLDER and more injury prone than our OL. I like Dockery coming back and think Heyer will solve our RT questions.
DL-NYG, Dallas, Washington, Philly; With Osi coming back the Giants are going to be really scary up front. Haynesworth helps but you can count on him and Griff missing 2-4 games each year so you've got to discount them somewhat.
LB-Dallas, NYG, Washington, Philly; Ware is the best pass rusher in the league, NYG have 3 solid starters and decent depth.
CB-Washington, Philly, Dallas, NYG; Hall and Rogers are slightly better than Samuels and Hobbs. Dallas is counting on development in the 2nd year from some players and NYG is solid but not great.
S-Washington, NYG, Dallas, Philly; Landry/Horton/Moore puts them above the rest of the division. Probably our strongest unit.
ST-Philly, Dallas, NYG Washington; DeSean Jackson is the difference maker here. Dallas has the best kicker/punter combo, we've still got question marks at K and in the return game.
Coaches-NYG, Philly, Washington, Dallas; Pretty simple Coughlin won a SB, Reid has been to a Super Bowl, I like Zorn in his 2nd year more than Phillips who is the most obvious lame duck in the NFL.
Overall-NYG, Washington, Philly, Dallas; The Giants are still the class of the division until proven otherwise. I expect improvement in year 2 of Zorn's offense and the additions to our defense should make us more dangerous in terms of sacks and turnovers. Philly was dead in the water last November before making a nice run but over the last 4 years they are only one game better than us in the W-L column. Dallas lost their best player on offense, didn't do much in FA or the draft and have the look of an overrated 6-10 bust.
This is the first breakdown of them all that makes sense to me.....
Id like to know who the He!! Dallas,Philly, Or the Giants at this point have at WR thats better than Santana Moss????????? Riddle Me That

First off Maclin wasn't a need,but in fact(BPA)and he will get some time at wide-out and be a more than likely be an outstanding return man.
DeSean has got the skills to be the best WR in the division this year and Moss ain't no spring chicken anymore.(9th season)
Moss in his 8 years has only exceeded Jacksons(rookie)production in 3 of his 8 seasons(stat wise).
Is there anyone on the Redskins roster(WRs)that you'd take over DeSean right now?
If so then......forget it.

I will say that Moss is the best WR in the division as of right now.
Kelley and Thomas are the unknowns as of now for the Skins unlike DeSean for the Eagles.

You know, probably not but the question wasn't just about #1 WR. I'd take every WR on the Redskins roster over Kevin Curtis, Jason Avant (who I actually think is decent), Hank Baskett and Reggie Brown though.

Thats crazy you said that as I too like Avant more so than Curtis and Baskett.
Maclin is the wild card and he definitely has the skills to be a productive player,but I don't think he can do what DeSean did as a rookie WR.
The Redskins WRs will rise as Campbell does and I think he's finally got a fire lit under him with all this bullshit trade talks in the off season.
We'll see?

Santana Moss might be the best WR in the NFC East but that aint saying much. Moss is overrated by most Redskin fans imo. Hes a good WR but he would be better as a #2. Overall if Thomas or Kelly doesnt step up this year we easily have the worst WR core in the NFC East.

Thats funny because right now the only Redskin WR who I think is better then Kevin Curtis is Santana Moss.

I think if you put Randel El in his natural position as a slot receiver then you would see him flourish. We just haven't had someone take the reigns as the number two WR.

As a slot WR Randle El would be very solid even though he would probably be the highest paid slot WR in NFL history. I still think Curtis can do more things at WR then Randle El. If we could cut him and not have to take the cap hit id do it in a heartbeat.
