Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagle

[Phanatic]

We're not the ones that are crazy.... they meaning the team are. They probably did that and actually if you think about it that gives Kolb the biggest chance for success in the NFL. That being said it is kind of maddening that they took him so high and that is what is throwing everyone off.

I also suspect that they know something that we don't about McNabb or they're just crazy. You pick. Maybe both.

[Phanatic]

If Kolb has no chance of playing for three years (or more) then why waste a pick at #36

because they have no intention of waiting three or four years for this kid to play

the next step is to get a young big time wr for kolb to grow with...i think that comes next year in the draft...at least i hope it does...andy has to have learned his lesson in what he surrounded mcnabb with

Draft a young big time wr? Preposterous!! Since when does this front office get recievers for their franchise QB to play with. I mean really...

if this is possbile i at the same time dont like the kolb pick and i also support it

i like the overall idea of having the future franchise qb on the team...but they better be planning on this kid taking over next year or the year after...if their plan right now is to wait three four five years for kolb to take over then they should be shot on sight as the pick was completely assinine

There were many other need postions in the draft, so to trade away to Dallas to land a QB that early only means the intentions of Andy Reid and staff are to play this kid sooner than later.

I think the front office is realizing the injury is a major concern regardless if McNabb is so-called "ahead of schedule". He will try to rush back as did Culpepper and probably pay the price. McNabb is not your steady pocket passer  like the other QB's who came back from the injury to play well (Palmer). His chances of a reinjury are much much higher

The system is going to to be thrown at this kid much faster now, comprehending it is another issue

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

never said he was definitely gone after this season...but its certainly possible depending on kolbs development...i said as early as after this year he could be gone

Crazy Thought, maybe NE will cut Stallworth                       
Then again its not like the FO will re sign him

[mussa]

speculate speculate speculate.....asshats

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

maybe NE will cut Stallworth

Before this season?  No.

[Diomedes]

They have a few WRs now don't they?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That's what I keep saying.  It's not like they have garbage at WR.

Everyone was in love with Stallworth, and possibly rightfully so, but that's allowing them to postulate that Brown/Curtis/Baskett is not a legitimate top 3.

Even though all 3 have made a lot of big plays (even Baskett), none of them have proven to be a consistent #1.  The part people forget is that Stallworth wasn't either, mostly because he was either hobbled a bit or sidelined.

[ice grillin you]

i havent heard anyone say the wr's are garbage....they just arent as good as last year

[SunMo]

they are not better than last year, but they aren't bad enough to be a problem.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That's debatable.  They have all the same young guys that should be "a year better" in Brown, Baskett, and Avant... they also now have Bloom and Bethel Johnson (although I really don't count them in the equation).

Really, your argument is that Kevin Curtis can't even be compared to Donte' Stallworth, and while I agree that Stallworth is definitely going to make more BIG plays when he's on the field, I think Curtis will be better in 3 specific ways:

1.  He'll be on the field more.  Fewer injuries.
2.  He can play the slot and go across the middle more.
3.  He will make more catches and more first downs.

Again, I think the root of this is actually a bit of racism.  Curtis is a solid player and should do well this year.  If Stallworth stays healthy all year and is catching passes from Tom Brady, his numbers will be better, of course... but it's far from a foregone conclusion that the WR's won't be as good as last year.

true.

a part of me wants mcnabb to come back at 80% or something so it forces reid to run the ball a lot till it sticks in his head that even with mcnabb in the lineup he can and succeed.
