  1. It's my theory that "salary cap hell" is nothing but jargon used by front offices to deflect from not wanting to make any moves i.e. Dallas every single year. You are absolutely right, any front officer worth a damn can manipulate the cap numbers. For one, the salary cap rises every single year. A $X amount hit this year isn't the same cap hit percentage wise even next year and all down the line. Eagles sign any player they want in free agency. They make trades. Able to pay all their guys they want. But we don't have a true front office with a real GM. Dallas refuses to utilize free agency except bargain hunting after all the good players are taken. When we make trades, we get the short end of the stick on both sides. Take the Rams for example, they went all in for 2021 season and it paid off. The goal is to win it all, and they did it. Only won a few playoff games since then (still more than Dallas lol) but who cares. Dallas has no idea how to balance their future and present day. Eagles are set up to win today and in the next 5 years.
  2. Eagles are a proactive front office, Dallas is reactionary. Eagles got out in front of the market and locks their guys into more friendly deals before the market takes off. Eagles front office is infinitely better than the Jones circus. It's about as night and day as you can get. If they cave into Parsons and I'd lean to they will, that's a ton of money for 2 guys who disappear in the playoffs and the rest of the supporting cast isn't that great. It's how Jerry has been building teams for 3 decades now.

  5. Huge win. Let's win tomorrow to split this thing
  6. He's played in 4 playoff games. Point to me any game changing play he made? Specifically, against SF twice and Green Bay. The Tampa game was against a losing record junk team in Brady's final game. He's not a game changer. EPA per play is some analytics stat. He's the Dak of the defense. Flash against lesser teams, folds and disappears against better teams. Good offenses have no issue moving the ball and scoring points against this defense since he's been here. Is he the only issue? Not even close. But putting the percentage of their assets into Dak and Parsons isn't going to amount to shit, which it hasn't. They had a chance to tear this whole thing down a year ago and start over. This core is nothing more than a wild card win ceiling and really, that wild card team needs to be below average. Because when they played SF and GB, they got dominated. Which is why the only 2 playoff wins this franchise has had in the last decade. 2018 Seattle, 2022 Tampa. Both of those teams were weak with no offense to speak of.
