Also, he is nowhere near as durable as he once was. Hopefully I'm wrong.

There is a reason they are called "obvious flaws". He was a great quarterback, I followed him through Syracuse. He just played for the wrong team. Not that there's anything wrong with Philly (except for stingy ownership and thick-headedness) its just he doesn't fit a west coast offense. Philly never bothered to change their offense to fit their playmaker so it wasn't his fault.
Seriously, if Philly had a pocket rocket and spent money over the last ten years I don't doubt you'd have one more trophy in your case. D-van would have been better off being a Skin or Card when he was younger.
