I wholeheartedly agree with going for it every year. I can't believe one person at NovaCare goes into the season thinking this is a throw away year for the Eagles. You can say they were lucky with health (virtually all teams that have good years also have healthy years) or with the schedule (you can only play who is there) but every team has that. If Nick Foles progresses to be a complete QB this team will be competitive.
I disagree that the moves aren't filling holes. Jenkins is only one safety but some think Wolfe can make the jump to starter quality this year. And there is the draft and there are still safeties available in FA. They could use a stud CB but they have two or three guys who are steady if they can put a little pressure on the QB plus they still have the draft. In my mind they still need a studly LB but they can play with the ones they have.
I don't think they are in the mindset that they are still rebuilding so we shouldn't expect to do well.
