Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagle

SunMo · April 30, 2007, 10:50:15 AM

did anybody see Howard on SportsFinal last night?

apparantly he said that the Eagles were going to take Merriweather at 26 and move up in the 2nd round to get Kolb.

he also said they would've taken Kolb at 26 if the Dallas trade didn't happen.

he also said they tried to move up to take Leinart when he started falling last year.

this was all reported on another board, so take it for what it's worth.

Kolb will eat Leinart's lovechild.

It's all part of Andy Reid's ultimate goal of fielding an all-white offense.

He should have drafted Brian Leonard then, dammit!

rjs246 · April 30, 2007, 11:00:07 AM

He would have, but he's planning on converting Napolean into a FB.

SunMo · April 30, 2007, 11:01:09 AM

does he have linebacker blocking skills?

There's a guy I work with who's A)from Texas, and B) a Texans fan. He's been talking up Kolb all morning, saying he's a legend in the state and that alot of Dallas/Houston fans are pissed the Eagles got him. Said he watched a few games with Kolb playing, one live, and said once camps start fans are going to be pretty impressed. Also said local media was saying he was going to get picked in the second by Miami, Baltimore, New England or the Birds....

Still not exactly happy with the pick, but if McNabb does like Culpepper, or gets injured again, and the kid does decent-to-great, I'll be thrilled to eat crow.

pretty sure mcnabb will be released after this season....his back end money is enormous

SunMo · April 30, 2007, 11:17:05 AM

and he has no cap ramifications if he's cut after this year.

i think they try and trade him though

rjs246 · April 30, 2007, 11:26:58 AM

SunMo · April 30, 2007, 11:27:35 AM

I find it a little depressing that this is what we've come to already.

i know, he's only 30

but i can't believe Andy will let his new toy sit on the bench for his entire first contract

Quasimoto · April 30, 2007, 11:31:40 AM

Some people are saying that WIP/Eckel are reporting McNabb hasn't returned Andy's call.

If that's true he's a farging bitch. What does he expect? The team to never draft a QB ever again. farg that. Act like a farging man you goddamned whiney bitchboy.
