Except that regardless of whether the QB is McNabb or (in the past) Garcia, with a healthy Westbrook, the Eagles were a top-flight club, and with an injured Westbrook, they were at best mediocre.
Again, I'm not trying to say McNabb isn't a good quarterback, I'm just pointing out that the correlation between Westbrook's health and the Eagles' record is much stronger than any similar comparison to McNabb or any of his replacements when he's been injured.
Good point.
I remember being skeptical when Andy Reid brought the West Coast (Packer) offense to Philly. I thought that it would be difficult to replicate the success in the swirling winds of Veterans Stadium in November. I was wrong on that. The one thing that the Eagles have been good at in the Reid-era is winning the overwhelming majority of their games in November-December. Conventional wisdom says you need to play smash-mouth NFC East football at that time of year, and all the other NFC-East teams run better than Philly.
