I don't understand how you can say he embraces anything without actually playing yet?! Who's to say he doesn't turn to mush if shtein hits the fan. I just think its a little ridiculous to be crowing him king when he hasn't proven anything! Of course I hope I am wrong about this but please until he proves himself the blow fest needs to stop. Please make it stop!

I think you are completely missing the point, no one is crowning him. In fact most people on the board are taking wait and see approach. The reason people are embracing him is because he isn't McNabb and his tired act.

Didn't you ever hear the expression? "the most popular guy in town is the backup QB"

Your all gay for Kolb. Caww cawwww!

Between the Kolb cork sucking and IGY turning everything into a "thinly veiled shot"....this thread is entertaining

Its a true statement is it not?

no it's not. he touches the ball more than anyone else on the the team so he IS the main issue and a leader doesn't spend all day pointing fingers.

and who has crowned kolb king ? what just because people don't rock the chicken little act they're swinging on his nuts ?

this is a not so thinly veiled shot at IGY

I'm still on board. And, Mussa, I don't think it's as much a love for Kolb at this point as it is refreshing that McNabb took the thin-skinned, inacccurate act elsewhere. I'm not so much happy it's Kolb as much as I was ready for something different. But since it's Kolb, well, go Kolb. Whatever. It wasn't going to happen with McNabb, who was getting a worse attitude and a worse relationship with the city. I know that. I don't know about Kolb, so that's a step up.

How quickly we forget or fail to grasp the fact that its a team sport and while there should be blame on McNabb, mostly, and blame put on the players for performance. In reality, you really need to question the people calling the plays, making in-game decisions, and using players to their best abilities. I can't say it enough, Andy Reid is a joke of a coach. His offensive game plan is so outdated and one sided and has been for years that to me, the only reasons they have been successful is because of the players that they've had and the inability of teams who play them to exploit it!

Regardless of my negativity the team needed a changed and if Reid wasn't going then letting McNabb go and hopefully adjusting the offense to fit a more balanced attack is what I've wanted since the super bowl. I find it hard to have faith in a coach who time and time again has shown no ability to adapt to what is going on during games. While the Kolb love grosses me out, my real beef is with the coaching staff when it comes down to it. I just hope they switch it up with Kolb under center. And I pray...

one day you will get that this isnt a reid mcnabb thing or a cobb mcnabb thing

its a mcnabb is a douche good riddance thang....and you dont understand

rjs246 · April 30, 2010, 03:12:49 PM

McNabb is a douche, but I think he could have won with a different coach.
Reid is a terrible in-game coach who couldn't inspire his QB to greater things because he never really pushed him.
None of us have any idea what the Kolb / Reid beast will look like but it's something new and that alone is worthy of a cheer.

Now all of you shut up and root for laundry.

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 30, 2010, 03:39:50 PM

And errands.

General_Failure · April 30, 2010, 04:37:07 PM

With mussa going off on a rant in one direction, I'll play Devil's Hippo and suggest something new in the other direction. Here we go!

McNabb is such a douche that he was ignoring the plays that were radio'd in and calling horrible passing plays in the huddle. There, now we have a totally legitimate reason why the offense always seemed more balanced without McNabb in the lineup.

Which might be the case if Reid didn't himself admit that he dumbed down the offense for backups.

General_Failure · April 30, 2010, 05:18:52 PM

I'm sticking with my version.

Rome · April 30, 2010, 05:21:02 PM

mussa's nonsensical ramblings aside, how can eagles fans not be excited at the prospect of new blood taking over? kolb might end up being the next brad goebel for all we know but i can't help but be optimistic over how things are coming together for the offense.

at the very least we won't have to worry about mcnabb playing the victim anymore and that's a win-win regardless if you love the guy or hate him.

That's where I'm at...again though, I think Kolb is not going to be the answer. Yes, I'll root for him because this is my team. But it pains me to think that he's the QB we're relying on to bring a Lombardi to Philly.
