Get on the Kevin Kolb bandwagon!

[General_Failure]

Why is he QB Jesus? I agree from what I heard of the interview it didn't really sound any different.  I was just commenting on the way Schein and Wilcotts were acting, though some of those guys do that sthein to get more listeners. 

Because he's been anointed by more than half the fan base.

Jesus H Kolb

Taking hyperbole lessons from MDS and IGY? So long as they're not giving you typing lessons.

i like the sound of kevin khrist better. 

[Munson]

Jesus didn't have a good arm too.

Couldn't hit a curve ball either.

"The people in the front office and coach Reid have seen Kevin's development over the last three years, and they feel it's time. And I'll tell ya what, a lot of guys on the team feel the exact same way. We're ready to rally behind him and get this thing going."

Celek on this whole thing. GET ON NOW PHREAK AND PG AND WHOEVER ELSE IS BEING A STUBBORN 5 LOVER.

Tom Selleck!

the players on the team right now have "rallied around" cobb more in the last two days than any of mcnabbs teammates over the last 11 years

[SunMo]

I know and I don't want to read too much into it but it sure does seem like everybody is on board. You also haven't heard one player come out and speak negatively about the trade.

cobbs > mcnabbs

"Coming from the University of Houston, nobody knew who Kevin was," Roy recalled, "especially Philadelphia fans; they had no idea who Kevin was. But I'm telling you, they're going to be real happy. I think Kevin's gonna take 'em to places they haven't been before."

this is 100% accurate.

it's like a 260 pound corny moonwalking albatross has been lifted off their backs.

and i, for one, am stoked about that.

Lanell Kolb still teaches junior-high reading. Roy manages the RV park and prepares bids for a company that makes commercial cabinets.

Maybe Phreak deals with Roy

"Here's my interpretation of Kevin Kolb. I think he's a smart kid with good instincts. I think he has a good, but not a great or an elite arm. He doesn't have Donovan's arm. I think they'll go back more towards that West Coast Offense that they got away from a little bit because Donovan's strength was driving the ball down the field vertically," Mayock said.

"I think what they're really going to try and do is what they did this year when they were successful - throw the ball a lot early, try to get ahead."

I don't - too far north. But our Dallas location probably does. I'll have to ask around.

I am sure you can find similar quotes from players who were on the team back in 99 or 00 when McNabb became a starter.


Anyway lets go Kolb. He already has Garcia level FIRE!

[Sgt PSN]

there were only 2 players on the offensive side of the ball who had an opinion that meant anything in 1999/2000....duce and tra.  no one gave a shtein what charles johnson or torrance small thought about mcnabb. 

not to mention that mcnabb wasn't replacing one of the best qb's in franchise history.  he was replacing the likes of rodney peete/bobby hoying/ty and koy detmer/doug pederson.  at that point in time, the qb bar in philly was so low it head a headstone.

it's completely different than what kolb faces now.  because love or hate mcnabb, the fact is that kolb is replacing a 6x pro bowler who took this team to a sb and 5 nfccg. 

but if the young players on this team are excited about playing with him, and the comments they are making seem more sincere than spoon fed statements from the pr dept, then i can't help but be a little excited about it too.  i'll always be a mcnabb fan, but he's gone and it's time to see what kolb can do.
