I didn't read the whole original post since I figured it was mostly name-calling, but the paragraph you quoted about the Eagles caught my attention. If the argument is that the Eagles at that time lacked a franchise quarterback, I would have to disagree with that pretty strongly. Randall Cunningham was a beast for those Eagles teams, an absolute beast. If the Eagles weren't successful, it certainly wasn't because of a lack of talent at quarterback. The problem for them was that they didn't have any talent on offense outside of quarterback, other than maybe Fred Barnett.
That's a nitpick, and may or may not be relevant to the rest of the post, but I had to mention it since I'm a big Randall Cunningham fan.
