I’m convinced he’s not a good enough QB because he simply hasn’t consistently stepped up his ability for the quick read and accurate release and I don’t think he ever will. I’ll be thrilled if proved wrong.

The D-line should be acceptable. Ryans looked useless vs. the Steelers, Kendricks will be ok. The other LBs are sub-par. Nnamdi has been a disppointment, DRC is talented but only plays when he feels like it. The safeties may be average if the overachieve. Shady is excellent, but we will soon find out how excellent without J Peters. Jackson is a one trick pony, but he is good at that one trick, still has much to prove. Maclin is ok, not a solid #1 wideout. Celek has issues staying healthy, hurt again this camp. Harbor is average at best. The Oline may be good, but Peters’ loss is huge. Vick has a great deal to prove. Athleticism is not enough. He must become Rodgers, Brees, Brady, either Manning, etc or he will be a backup someplace else next year. The MV Expirience is over, he has to be a human pass targeting and defense deciphering machine or this team cannot succeed. Add in a very difficult schedule, and this team faces a very daunting task just to make the playoffs.

I am thinking about a 9-7 Record this Season, maybe 10-6 if things go well

Jake, because I still don’t beleive they have addressed their biggest issues with the Team

#1) Red-Zone Efficiency on Offense — Who is the Big Red-ZOne Targets and don’t tell me D-Jax or Damarius Johnon
#2) Red-Zone Efficiency on Defense — Red Zone is where you really have to have strong Safety play and I am not so sure this present Safety Corp is up for the Challenge to be a top notch unit..
#3) Win the Turnover Battle — Eagles still have smallish WR’s and a QB with the propensity to cough up the ball when getting hit, then also did not add any ball hawks on Defense.. Both CB’s Asmo/DRC are good press Coverege players but don’t have very good hands .. Can Ryans and Kendricks at LB help cause and create Turnovers, Time will tell….

What’s the basis of your evaluation paulman, and if you are correct this team may be very good in a year or two, but mediocre this year

Problem is with D-Jax/Maclin/Avant/Dmaris Johnson and Cooper, they have too many small, afraid to get hit type of Receivers to do any damage across the middle.. WHo is going to make the touch catches in the Red-Zone..

Damarius Johnson seems like a decent WR.
McNutt seems decent.

We need Bell to step up and the o-line and i think this team may be relevent again.
