Daily News | Poised for dominance: 2022 Eagles look more like 2001 than 2017
Most importantly, the composition of the rest of the conference.They are the three biggest reasons to think that Sunday is just a starting point. Barring injury or some unforseeable calamity, the Eagles’ NFC championship matchup against the 49ers could easily go down as the first in an unprecedented run. I know what you are thinking, but everything about their situation looks more like 2001 than 2017.
That’s not to say that you could have predicted the swift and dramatic downfall that awaited Wentz, Doug Pederson, and those 2017 Eagles. But this one is not that one. This one has surrounded its quarterback with four premium young players in Jordan Mailata, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert. Factor in Landon Dickerson plus Hurts and you are looking at an offense with seven of 11 starters under the age of 28 and under contract through at least next season.
It will come down to the quarterback staying healthy and being worth his money, as it always does. But the margin for error in that department is much bigger than it was back in 2017.The NFC stinks right now. And it is going to stink for a while. That’s really the only way to put it. In a lot of ways, the division was a microcosm of the conference at large. You had 32-year-old Brett Favre in Green Bay and 30-year-old Kurt Warner in St. Louis. Beyond that, these were the starters, in rough order of aptitude: Brad Johnson, Aaron Brooks, Jeff Garcia, Jake Plummer, Daunte Culpepper, Chris Chandler, Matt Hasselbeck, Charlie Batch, Chris Weinke, and Jim Miller. If I missed one, rest assured, he deserved to be missed.
