Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagle

[General_Failure]

We were spoiled with McNabb never really throwing a lot of picks. We'll have to get used to some Favrian numbers for at least a season or two.

[rjs246]

What McNabb lacked in picks he more than made up for in errant third-and-one passes and atrocious sacks.

worm burners

[Tomahawk]

I think it took McNabb at least seven years to realize he can throw the ball away before running out of bounds

[hbionic]

Maybe while playing video games...still seems to forget during live game.

[ice grillin you]

mcnabbs biggest problem was way to many three and outs because of his accuracy problems


ill take some picks if it means longer drives and more time of possesion...ie keeping the hideous defense off the field

[rjs246]

GOD FORBID THEY RUN THE fargING BALL TO KEEP POSSESSION.


I feel better.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

They will. Kolbsy's attempts won't be anywhere near what McNabb's were the last few seasons.....at least not initially. That's my hunch.

[ice grillin you]

mcnabb has avg 33 attempts per game the last three years

i bet cobb goes for 40 against green bay

[PhillyPhanInDC]

If Kolb goes for 40 against GB it'll be because they're trailing. And if that be the case, the Birds win 67-24 and Kolb hucks it for 600 yards. And 19tds.

The score reflects the awesomeness penalty that will be imposed by Goodell to reign in the aforementioned awesomeness.

[ice grillin you]

i could easily see him throwing it 40 times in a shoot out that goes back n forth...i actually see them throwing it more than with mcnabb at the start...just because they believe he will be more accurate and will be able to run a ball control offense with the pass...meaning more short passes which in turn means longer drives which produces more attempts


last year when he was just filling in he threw it 35 times against kc in a blowout FOR the eagles

igy brings up an excellent point - Reid is a dumbass

[rjs246]

Only Philadelphia fans can seriously have a "ball control" conversation that revolves around more passing.

Reid has ruined our brains.

[Drunkmasterflex]

You can have that with an accurate QB.  Hell it will just be nice to see a guy get hit in stride for once.
