The premise presented by Doug Pederson last week was that the Eagles are a young team on the verge of getting better. It's flawed, mostly because the coach's team isn't as young as he thinks it is.
Look no further than the Eagles' own division for proof.
Dallas is 11-1 and its best two players on offense this season have been rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, who is seven months younger than Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, and rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is a candidate for league MVP at 21.
That duo have ignored the "trust the process" mantra we're so sick of hearing about in this town and are carrying the Cowboys straight to the top seed in the NFC playoffs.
