What does the future hold for Davis Webb?

Odd Man Out?

New Year, New Hope

It’s time to come to the realization that the Philadelphia Eagles are indeed Super Bowl Champions. And like us, they did it the hard way by knocking off the New England Patriots. By doing so, the NFC East becomes the first division in NFL history to have each team boast at least one Lombardi Trophy. It’s actually incredulous when you think about it. It took 52 Super Bowls to have teams from the same division to notch at least one championship. And let’s face it, as hard as it is to fathom, the Eagles’ momentous turnaround actually gives Big Blue some hope.

The Eagles went 13-3 after back-to-back 7-9 campaigns. The Giants did the reverse, going 3-13 after an 11-5 playoff appearance in 2016. The Cowboys went 9-7 in 2017 after winning the division with a 13-3 record the previous year. Only the Redskins have been consistently mediocre, sporting 9-7, 8-7- 1, and 9-7 records the past 3 seasons. With mostly consistent inconsistency in the NFC East, any of the four teams could rise and win the division in 2018. Sure, The Giants have a lot of work to do but it’s an era with a new GM, a new coach, and probably a new QB of the future.
