The title of this piece has two interpretations. Yes, as the New York Giants plunge into their off-season process of team building, general manager Joe Schoen must confront the fact that the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles have considerably more talent on their roster than the Giants, and somehow that gap must be narrowed before the Giants can be considered a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
There’s a reason for that, though, that has nothing to do with Eagles’ GM Howie Roseman’s ability to identify and secure good players. To be sure, Roseman has done a very good job over the past decade of finding good players, especially on the offensive and defensive lines, as we discussed previously.
