Super Bowl Talk

Tom Brady is the most accomplished QB of all time, but for my money, Aaron Rodgers is the most talented QB in the game today. He can do freaky things and carry a team on his back. As talented and dynamic as Rodgers is, he only has a 10-7 postseason record and one trip to the Super Bowl. He did win it (back in 2010), but you would think a man with his talent would have been a few times.
The problem isn’t Rodgers. The problem is the team’s failure to properly build around him.
I mention that because the Eagles did not make that mistake. They had an amazing offseason and put the right pieces around (and behind) Carson Wentz to take this team from 7-9 to NFC champs, and hopefully beyond. I wrote about Howie Roseman’s great offseason for PE.com.
There are several guys to give credit to. Roseman is at the top because he pulled the trigger on the big moves. Also:
This group found players all over the place. From Alshon Jeffery to Patrick Robinson to Corey Clement to Jake Elliott. I love how creative and aggressive they were. Big signings, little signings, trades…you name it. Anything that could help improve the roster. I also love the fact they never stopped. Bryan Braman didn’t get signed by the Eagles until December, but here he is as a core STer in the friggin Super Bowl.
The offseason never stops.
