Because you are not as perfect at recognizing a Super Bowl coach/QB as you claim you are.

In all fairness, Doug Peterson was a new head coach, Wentz was a second year QB, and other than 2014 (or 15, can’t remember), Nick Foles has never sustained play at that level. Kind of hard to look a few years back and predict an Eagles title in 2017 given the turnover at HC, QB, and the Foles wildcard. I’m not backing CB per se, but literally no one picked the Eagles to win a title in 2017, experts included.

And, the point about Andy and Marvin was valid. Combine an average to slightly above average QB to a middling coach and it likely doesn’t get a team a Lombardi. The NFL has proven this many times over. When we look back at the average-ish QB’s with Super Bowl wins in the last 30 years (Flacco, Doug Williams, Eli, Dilfer, now Foles, etc.), the common denominator is all had very good head coaches (and defenses). Marvin is not on the level of Billick, Gibbs, Coughlin, Harbaugh, Peterson. Lewis’s perpetual mismanagement of clock, game flow, and strategic play will continue to doom this team.
