Philadelphia Eagles: Most Overrated and Underrated Players

Found August 11, 2013 on Football Nation:
PLAYERS: Tony Romo
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Dallas Cowboys
It's not about what you know, it's about who you know. This statement goes a long way until someone bluntly asks you, "By the way dude, what were your SAT scores?"The Eagles are in recuperation mode. The team that once dominated the NFC East with ease is currently the laughingstock of their division. The squadron of men that traveled to the postseason year after year are now serving as the rear end of all jokes - that is - after Tony Romo and the Cowboys. So, Football Nation, will the Eagles be a team to fret about in 2013?

Jason Garrett: Don’t Judge Tony Romo On Wins And Losses
