Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagle

[ice grillin you]

So basically have an old ass vet to come in when the starter goes down so they have no chance of winning the game? All so there is not a qb controversary? Ha. 

The majority of NFL teams crave the opportunity to have a legit backup because the majority have garbage as backups. No matter what we think, the goal in the NFL is to win games not to appease the media and Kevin Kolb.

no the name of the game is not always to win in the nfl....if that were true donovan would be the qb this year...shtein vick would have started the year at qb not cobb

also vick is not a very good qb...theres plenty of people who could back up cobb and run this offense better than vick

its amazing how vick comes in for one half has a couple nice runs and people forget they ever watched him try to play qb in this league

It's not because Vick is good.  It's because he is high-profile and the type of player who comes in on "special" packages.

its also because he lost a billion dollars and is trying to get a starting gig at all costs...hes desparate.....he would stab cobb in the throat if he thought it would get him the starting job....that isnt what a first year starter needs....he needs doug pederson

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He wouldn't stab him in the throat.  He would give him herpes, then electrocute him.

i think vick is ideally suited to run the eagles offense especially considering the nearly non-existent offensive line they're trotting out there right now.

[Diomedes]

I'll support Vick solely because I'm sure the other CF is utterly horrified by him

he's a fleshpop, but whatever.  lots of dicks out there.  quite a few on the team, I imagine.

But really.  He's a fleshpop.  Dumb.  Not a good qb.

GO VICK

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Thanks.  They played it right before they had Mike Miss on as a guest.

La Canfora: Kolb is handing this ok

He probably knows Vick is going to get killed, either by an opposing defense or by an animal rights activist.

[ice grillin you]

per the cuz

several teams led by heckert and the browns immediately called the eagles after the announcment last night to guage the availability of cobb...all teams were told he is not being traded

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

"Several" teams, eh?  Browns, I could see...  Not sure who else would put out the bat signal for Kolbsy right now.

And of course they don't want to trade him.  His value will be the same in the off-season as it is now if Vick starts all year, and trading him now would leave them with Kafka one big hit away from #1 on the depth chart.  YIKES.

[Butchers Bill]

Jeff Garcia will be available in a couple weeks.

[JackStraw]

I think media talk of a Cobb trade is misdirection. Now if vick has a couple good efforts, why not trade him? If team waits till end of season, and then no season next year, Eagles are stuck with bupkis for his ass. So turning the question around, how would it be to trade Vick? Around here it sure sounds like "no great loss" and he "sucks at qb", so why not see if you can get something significant for him now assuming he doesn't shtein the bed this weekend?

Talk about andy's and FO pride - I'd say their biggest fear is getting pointed and laffed at bc of all they spent on vick only to get nothing in return. And that's what happens if they wait and he rides pine and gets stale. Big part of game theory is exit strategies and this is their best shot to get something out of nothing. Right now. cobbsy can wait and fans be damned

[smeags]

yes because we all know how much the nerd standard and andy value the opinions of the fans and media.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

cobbsy can wait and fans be damned

Your point made some sense until this.  Most fans wanted Vick to start, and even many who didn't recognize that the team will be more entertaining.
