Quarterback - Step Ahead 2008: Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb, A.J. Feeley. 2009: McNabb, Kolb, Michael Vick. You have a healthy, happy Donovan McNabb, who got the offseason contract reworking he'd sought. You've added three-time Pro Bowler Michael Vick.

IF THE TOPIC this season is change, nobody on the Eagles seems more changed than Donovan McNabb. No one knows if it will matter, of course - such is the beauty of the mystery of a National Football League season. How an alteration in public personality might affect a person's play on the field is debatable, at best. A personal guess is that it will b

Smallwood: There have been years in the past when I've picked the Eagles to go to the Super Bowl based on logical deduction. I can't do that with this team.

NFC EAST Team: New York Giants 2008 record: 12-4 What's the story? For a change, it's not Plaxico Burress, who shot his odd career in the leg. The Giants spent more time last season insisting Burress wasn't a distraction than they did preparing for the stretch run. Now, this team can embrace its identity: A gutty, devastating running game, still three-headed despite the loss of Derrick Ward; a pass rush that devours QBs; and a QB who occasionally makes the plays he was drafted to make. Make all the jokes you like, but when you build a team like that, and you're patient with it weekly, it wins.

AFC EAST Team: New England Patriots 2008 record: 11-5 What's the story? They went 11-5 without Tom Brady, and they have him back, assuming his recent shoulder injury is a tweak, and not a tear. They'll have a mediocre defense and a weak pass rush; their pass-rush fix is former Eagles end Derrick Burgess, a holdout in Oakland for whom they traded. But Brady's back, and while that won't mean another run at perfection — he is coming off major knee surgery — it means remaining the class of the division.

Sunday, Sept. 13, 8:20 (NBC) Bears at Packers: Two words. Jay Cutler. Many think that with a new team and little to complain about, the 26-year-old quarterback has what it takes to make the Bears a playoff contender. What better way to test that theory than with a game against Aaron Rodgers and the Pack in Week 1?
