Get on the Kevin Kolb bandwagon!

[Sgt PSN]

McNabb was never suited to be a "West Coast" QB.  Kolb is.

not exactly true.  everything about mcnabb in his early years was ideal for the wco minus the (in)accuracy.  mobile, gets out of the pocket, throws well on the run, doesn't turn the ball over.  his accuracy was something that i had hoped would improve over the years....which it has, but not to the point where he stopped throwing the ball into the ground or behind receivers.

it's crazy that mcnabb can sometimes be throw some ridiculously accurate passes and then follow them up with the slop that he sometimes does. 

and that's my biggest knock on him.....he's either on fire, or cold as ice.  there's never been much middle ground with him.

He blows at throwing short, accurate passes.  You know... Leading receivers and stuff?  That is a neat thing to have in a QB.

now adam shefter is trotting out the elway/mcnabb comparisons saying that when shanahan got to denver elway was a year older than mcnabb is now.

oh noes.

that's just crazy talk. 

obviously at this point in the game, he's not going to get any more accurate.  but there was no reason to think after his first 2 years that it wasn't something that could have been improved upon.

Point and laugh at the taterskins thread is going to be in full swing this season. I can't wait.

Jaws dropped a interesting nugget on Kolb just now on ESPN, said that after going back and watching film, and looking at stats, the WR's YAC with Kolb throwing was almost equal to the initial pass. According to Jaws, that means Kolb was putting the ball on the receivers accurately and in stride.

He also said that Kolb made almost every accurate read and check in those two games he started.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

SD, stop.

What I don't get is he started two games, one was against the SB champs in a game in which Reid took Kolb out every other play to run the wildcat, the other was against a bad KC team. He faired well in both games. When I watched him at camp he looked like a player. He performed well in the preseason games. He's had 4 years to be groomed.  How are you so sure he's going to fail.

sneaky little bastich eagles front office. trade mcnabb into the division to the taterskins in hopes he gives losses to the giants and cowboys to keep themselves in the race--good work if you ask me if Kolb somehow becomes successful

igy--pm your address so I know where to send these 2000 pennies covered in anthrax

[ice grillin you]

i already established here that mcnabb doesnt throw it a gazillion times a game

but i have been saying the best part about this trade is that for once and for all the reid vs mcnabb argument will be settled because shanny will run a pro set offense that runs the ball...and maybe mcnabb will win a superbowl and maybe he will flame out again...but at least we will all know

Pimp is going to blow up next year

The only thing he has left to blow up is a knee.

As much as McNabb was hated...I'm gonna miss feeling that McNabb could pull it out for us...but he kind of killed it with his air guitar.

I guess my new favorite player now is D. Jackson with his reverse endzone dance and stuff.

farg this is season is going to be weird.
