THE IMMEDIATE danger when trying to compare teams or athletes from different eras is to put too much weight on what's current. Sorry, kiddies, Michael Jordan was better than both Kobe Bryant and LeBron James and Wilt Chamberlain was the best of them all. Barry Bonds was great, but please don't forget Willie Mays, Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron.
Dialing down the scope a bit, how about this Eagles secondary? Specifically, where does it rate among the groups defensive coordinator Jim Johnson has had in his 10 seasons here? Pretty darn high, according to many observers. But not at the top ... not yet.
