If Kolb is somewhere on McNabb's level, and the offense remains the same, we're looking at more 2nd round playoff exits and lost NFC Championship games. Yay!

The dude's weakness is his accuracy

lol so if cobb is mcnabb they wont win a superbowl...brilliance right there

and im confused so mcnabbs problem was accuracy or reids offense?

like what if instead of mcnabbs normal 58% in reids offense cobb goes for like 65%...certainly not the best of the best but like jason campbell was last year...

could they win a superbowl then?...or would he be better than we all thought...for example is jason campbell better than we all thought?

If the eagles win the SB with Kolb, then either Kolb is infinitely better than any of us could have ever hoped

should also mention that cobb doesnt have to be infintely better than we all hoped....because no one other than you and pg know what hes gonna be like

how about not a choking bed wetter like mcnabb and ill take my chances

you dont need a great qb to win anymore in this league...if rex grossman and jake delohomme can make a superbowl then almost anyone can win it

except donovan mcnabb

He had a 50/50 shot, since he got there once.

except donovan mcnabb

well yeah...why i said 'almost'

point is when donovan was a rookie...or even in his 3rd 4th and 5th years nobody on earth was saying he couldnt win a superbowl...we all thought it possible

like i was saying its so easy to just say 'this guy' will never win a superbowl...well duh...99% of the league will never win a superbowl...but over time mcnabb proved he never would or could

right now we are back to mcnabbs rookie year where i think most of choose to give cobb or anyone else in his same situation a chance to win one...rather than just write him off before he ever really plays...or say cobb sucks he isnt any good or cobb cant win unless ______ happens

thats just being ignorant and/or salty that your hero mcnabb couldnt do it

MDS · April 30, 2010, 11:38:10 PM

which is where pg comes in

shes just being stubborn with this kolb thing and her "feeling" that he sucks

well i got a feeling that pimp is gonna whip out his 10 incher and cock slap tony romo in the face but that doesnt mean its gonna happen. i have no evidence to support it. its just a feeling. its what i think.

If Kolb is McNabb, then yes obviously the chances are they won't win a SB. Someone like that does give you the slight chance to win one, but as we've obviously seen it's a small chance. A good QB who has troubles with his accuracy at times. He can win you games and he can lose you games. He can get you into the playoffs, and give you the chance to win...but will he win?

But if Kolb throws at a 65%+ clip, it would definitely help their chances of winning...though a lot of it is going to depend on how the run game does, and how the defense plays....but that certainly would be better than I thought. Do YOU really expect Kolb to throw with that kind of accuracy?

You are correct...you DON'T need a great QB to win the SB anymore. But if you are going with an average QB, you better have a ballin ass run game and/or a defense that's playing lights out....aka 2005 Steelers, 2002 Bucs, 2000 Ravens, 2007 Giants............Do you really think the Eagles have that kind of run game or defense? The sad part is we'll never know if they have the type of run game to carry a team, because at the end of the day Reid will go down throwing the ball. That's the coach he is, like it or not.

More McNabb bashing:

Quote"Because of how accurate he is, we're going to be able to catch the ball in stride and do something with it," said wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. "Now that he's behind the center, I definitely think there are going to be more opportunities for those types of [yards-after-the-catch] thing"

And our resident Eagle joins in on the fun as well:

Quote"Kevin's accuracy is going to be the biggest factor [for more yards after the catch]," Celek said. "If you get it there accurately, the guy can catch it and turn upfield. If it's not [accurate], you've got to turn your body and it slows you down and the defense can catch up quicker. Getting the ball out fast and getting it to you in a position where you can cut up the field quickly is what it's all about."

100% true.

rjs246 · May 12, 2010, 12:50:45 PM

Huh. So McNabb is inaccurate. Who knew?

SunMo · May 12, 2010, 12:54:48 PM

I did.

I think you're lying to me again, hot stuff.

If nothing else, it's good to see the young guys talking with confidence. They seem fired up ready to go. But...if Kolb doesn't get any protection....well, you know.

This. Hopefully he doesn't get crushed back there and we get to watch Michael Vick lead the team to even worse mediocrity.

QuoteSome folks in the organization scoff at the idea that the Eagles are involved in some sort of rebuilding process, but Kolb almost seems to embrace that line of thinking.

"We're suddenly the underdog," he said. "And who doesn't like being the underdog? With the talent we have, there are so many possibilities. But if folks want to believe otherwise, that's fine."

Knowing that Eagles fans might be a bit concerned that Kolb grew up in Cowboys country, I asked him whether he'd worked up any "hatred" toward Dallas.

"Oh yeah, definitely," he said. "I liked them a little bit growing up, but my first love of an NFL team was the Eagles. I was so involved with my Dad's teams growing up that I was up at the fieldhouse on Sundays, and didn't have a chance to watch a lot of games. So I promise you I bleed green at this point. There should be no concern about my past."

Soothing words to all Eagles fans, I'm sure.
