Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagle

[SD]

Why you are lumping me in with the other 2, I have no idea.

I didn't want McNabb to stay.

(broken record)

Pretty sure you're bitter because he's gone. How else would you explain not wanting to go with a young QB who was the first player in history to throw for 300 yards in his first two games?  If after those two games you don't say to yourself "this guy might have potential, let's give him a shot" then you're either A) hating him because that was your original feeling and you're too stubborn to change or B)bitter because McNabb is gone.

I'm glad Vick is doing as well as he is but I'm still hopeful Kolb may develop into something. I'm willing to give him a shot, if he fails they move on. Hating on him for no reason is retarded. He's played parts of two games this season. 

[SD]

whether it was a lack of confidence, misreads or coaching direction, this is something you need to see week to week improvement on

if hes doing this again next week or in november, then yea, maybe this isn't gonna happen. but maybe he sees the tape, realizes he needs to stop being a Hoyda, and he comes out firing. how about we wait and see. again, this year was supposed to figure out whether or not kolb was any good. 2 separate halfs in...he sort of sucks. but im eager to see more.

Spot on.

And I agree with reese in that he was playing scared. These things happen with inexperienced QBs.

The joy with which some of you evidently watch Kolb struggle is really disgusting.

He's an Eagle and you should be cheering for him to succeed, not fail.

Idiots.

Who is joyous?

Perhaps you could see why people think that since you are going out of your way to say that he sucks and pull up film to prove a point.  Its like PG saying he will be lucky to be a back up in the NFL.  Really? No one knows what Kolb is yet, yeah he does hold on to the ball way too long.  At the same time he has played a total of what 3-3/4 quarters of NFL games.  I don't give a sthein how long you sit on the bench any NFL QB will tell you the only thing that matters is game reps. 

All I know is I am just happy McNabb is gone so I'm willing to give him a shot.  Now if Reid were just gone. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Now if Reid were just gone. 

Let's see... We're only 4 weeks into the season, and we've had:

1. Mismanagement of severe concussions
2. Using all timeouts with 5+ minutes left
3. Almost choking on a big lead against the Lions
4. Flip-flop on a QB decision (reflects strongly as a coach AND a GM)
5. End of first half debacle on Sunday
6. Penalties coming out the ass
7. He's really fat.

Safe to say that Andy's job security is not at an all-time high.

[smeags]

especially based on #7

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well, yeah.  His life expectancy can't be very good.

[smeags]

#8. he's going bald

I posted that because I saw it on NFL Network and the Eagles MB.  I will reiterate my point - I simply don't believe he is what they think he is. I believe they moved on from McNabb prematurely.

I am not happy about them doing that so of course when the guy who they shoved down our throats as the heir apparent is stinking the joint up I am not going to be happy about it.

But I am not joyful about the fact he is sucking because I want them to win. I've said time and again that I want Kolb to succeed because that means the Eagles are winning, and that is the bottom line.

Everyone says they are willing to step back to step forward. Let's hope that Kolb is the right choice but in his limited time, he has not shown that ability.

We were never winning a Superbowl with McNabb.

jay please stop over reacting

thanks,
logic

[PhillyPhreak54]

You call that overreacting?

So you were willing to give Kolb a chance to go through some growing pains, as long as it didn't last more than a series or two?

[MDS]

well not in the classic j form, no.

but phrases like "stinking up the joint" and "shoved down our throats" are entirely over the top.

again, for the 1000th time, hes a young qb is going to make mistakes. if hes still making these mistakes at thanksgiving then i can understand getting on the kolb sucks bandwagon but for now you and your girl pg are just acting like bitter 5 homers still peeved that their doofus wormburner qb got shipped out.

[SD]

You call that overreacting?

I think it just might be you. Phillies lose a few games "farging bums!, they suck forever, kill Ruben!", Kolb isn't playing at a Joe Montana level "He can't play and will never be a good QB!, look at these yellow circles!"
