Hopefully McDermott learned something form his mentor Andy Reid

You forgot to mention the best QB in this draft, Baker Mayfield. :thumbsup:

qb's in the conference championship this year, and Reid/Smith got whipped in the playoffs.  

Obviously qb is most important position, but a killer defense and run game can get you deep into the playoffs. 

 

This year is a bit of an outlier.  Don't be fooled - it's still a QB league.  I think coaching played a huge part in Philadelphia's success this year.  Pederson and Reich were smart enough to coach to design an offense that appeals to what Foles does well - as opposed to having him run "their" offense.  Philadelphia gave up over 500 yards in the Super Bowl.  If anything their offense WON the game for them

 

Take a look over the SB champions the past 16 years.  You'll notice a trend that a Hall of Fame QB (or close to it) has won it almost every season. QB's win championships....not defense

Yeah thats pretty compelling.  i forgot about that Brad Johnson w Tampa year.   Also supporting your point is the fact that we couldn't muster 11 points on the road in Jville despite guys being open in many situations.  If we had a solid qb we win that one. 

i still would be cool with staying put simply because we would have some serious pickings on the board at 21/22 this draft, but I'm assuming Beane is moving on up for the qb and hopefully can get a pair of starters for our D front 7 in free agency or later rounds.

As of today Andy proved nothing in regards to your point (so pass the joint).  ;) ;)

I am OK with the end action but the logic is faulty.  Mahomes has proved nothing, won nothing

 

Reid may have swapped a good QB for a poor QB.  Time will tell.
