3 Similarities Philadelphia Eagles GM Roseman, Ruben Amaro share

The Philadelphia Eagles aren’t the only team that fired a championship winner.

Charlie Manuel and Doug Pederson were both let down by the general managers as they weren’t given enough pieces in the last two years of their runs to get to the promised land. Charlie and Doug both also took the blame for that.

After the Super Bowl win, it seemed as though the Eagles were riddled by injuries constantly. Heck, they were riddled by injuries during the Super Bowl run. Drafting is a huge part of creating depth on an NFL team’s roster, and Roseman let Pederson down in that department by not providing him with any real difference-makers.

Sure, Pederson had his faults, but he might still have a job today if Roseman would have taken D.K. Metcalf and Justin Jefferson.

That brings us to the Phillies. Charlie Manuel was fired in 2013, and he told the media following his dismissal that he didn’t feel as though Amaro gave him the pieces he needed to be able to win.

Honestly, he had the right to say that as the team had the aging core of Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, and Chase Utley, none of which were producing anymore. Their bench players were older and, a lot of them were near or batting under .200.

If the Eagles and their fans want to know what their future looks like, the Phillies have already lived it. The situations are pretty similar. Roseman isn’t the worst general manager. He’s pretty bad, but there are worse options. Still, after the Super Bowl win, he may have drunk a little too much of his own kool-aid in thinking he has all the right answers. Lurie loves him though, and until the owner sees that the Eagles GM is part of the problem, who knows when this ship will be set on a better course.
