I think, in general, the NFC East is back. There was all that talk a year ago about the coaching prowess in the division now that Gibbs and Coughlin joined. It takes time for coaches to have an impact on their teams; after 3 years with Parcells the Cowboys are looking competitive, the Giants are playing tough under Coughlin, the Skins look inspired thanks to Gibbs, and the Eagles are still the Eagles with Reid.

I think the QB play is largely a reflection of the offenses just starting to learn their respective systems and get their acts together. I do think the QB play is extremely important and if the Skins can't keep it up with the downfield threats, we might be in trouble. But I actually think the thing that will separate the NFC East teams from each other will be who can run the ball more effectively.
