Anyone else getting “Dream Team Eagles” vibes from the Bucs?

[PanthersNC1984]

I can’t remember which year, 2012 maybe? But do you remember when the Eagles loaded up their roster with all of these “stars” which included Vick and Nmamdi Asmough (remember him?) with some ridiculously high contract among many other household name players? They even dubbed themselves “the dream team”  anyway, the Bucs this year are looking A LOT like that “dream team” eagles team then.

if Brady's arm allows him to throw downfield this season.  Bucs are gonna be nasty.  Not sure how certain that is though. 

I mean he would float one occasionally in NE but he has been playing old man small ball pretty consistent for years now.  Talent nor that offense is geared toward what Brady has grown accustomed to. 

I mean, Tom keeps playing and eventually he gonna have a Peyton season.

Vince Young (yes that Vince Young), who was the backup QB on that team, was actually the one that called them the "dream team".  Then the reporters just rolled with it.

I’m getting “upset in NFC championship game” vibes

If Brady can play at an average level, they’re going to be really, really good.

If they don't make it deep into the playoffs it an epic failure.

Nope. TB12 is the greatest QB to play the game and is surrounded by superstars. The Eagles roster had a great CB (who flopped)  and Mike Vick, with VY as a backup. The two rosters are far different from each other.

I mean that would be awesome.

Accepting the fact the Panthers got no shot this year...that would be a fantastic storyline to watch play out.

Yes--I made the connection a few days ago on the Huddle.

We will see--TB building for one shot--and for a season that may be cut short.  Like winning the Replacements Bowl.  Nobody will care about the title--just the asterisk.

That was an interesting team.  One thing to remember is that they spent all of that money on Nnamdi Asomugha who was one of the best man corners in the game, then used him in a bunch of zone concepts and even had him playing some safety.  It was weird, particularly since Nnamdi had poor instincts and reaction times in zone coverage.  Which also leads to reminding everyone that the offensive line coach for the Eagles was promoted to be the defensive coordinator around that time, and was the DC of that team.

I feel like this team has better leadership and direction.  Particularly since we are talking about Brady vs Vick.
