Future of the Eagles part 2
The future of the Eagles and the number 1 unsung hero of the NFL is Brian Westbrook. He's the real star of the team, especially this year. Westbrook is responsible for 31% of the teams offense and 22% of the offensive scoring. Let's compare him to the phenomenal LT: 39% total offense and 52% of the offensive scores. However, LT does get the ball a bit more than Westbrook (348 rush vs 240) so lets compare yards per attempt and yards per catch. Westbrook 5.1 per carry, 9.1 per reception - LT 5.2 yards a carry and 9.1 per reception. Pretty close. San Diego let go of Brees, who had a great year but so did San Diego. I think McNabb may have a great year somewhere other than Philly (LIKE OAKLAND!!!), and Philly should look to the future before Westbrook gets too old (5th year).

Westbrook is an excellent back with great hands, great vision, great balance, great quickness, good burst and power.
I've seen him scorch the Redskins defense too many fucking times. The fact that he stands out in this regard is proof that he is good, and not just another schmuck with the luck to play the Redskins twice a year.
If you want to crunch some numbers, MMMan, in comparing Tomlinson to Westbrook, check out TDs per touch.
Can do. I'll put it as a %, as in % chance they'd score a TD per touch (both rush and receive).
LT: 7.67%
WestB: 3.47
However...
Marion Barber: 10.1%!!
Take that J.Jones! (1.45%)
