I literally started the shtein storm that has consumed the last 2 pages of this thread.  You're welcome.

I'm anticipating The Summer of Kolb.

Me and my Cowboys fan friend were talking about this while golfing today. I don't know which way to go with Quarterback Jesus.

I sure hope he's ready to play ball.

I'd take 15-18 in a heartbeat. His spaghetti arm, tendency to stare at his receiver, and zesty offensive line, he could end up with 22+....but I have enough faith in his accuracy and his growth in reading a defense that he shouldn't be that terrible. 15 INTs would be a great first year for Kevin The Cobb.

Thats why I'm fired up for this season, it's the lure of the unknown.

Peyton Manning threw 16 regular season picks last year.

15-18 picks for a first year starter is decent.

Manning threw 28 his first season
Brees threw 16 his first season
Bunch of other of the top guys were in the 12-18 range, I dont' see 15-18 picks as being some unreasonable expectation of picks thrown his first full season. I'd rather him throw 0 picks but realistically I think he throws in the 15-18 range his first full season.

[Sgt PSN]

Fahvrah throws 15 picks a week, so if Kolb throws that many for the whole season he'll be fine.

Munson, why do you have faith that Kolb has improved his ability to read defenses but hasn't improved his ability to look off receivers before throwing to them?   

[Munson]

Well I'm hoping that with the growth in reading defenses, he learns how to look the defense off before he throws. I'm definitely not completely despising the thought of him as the starter anymore. He's got a good shot to at least be decent.

My whole problem with it though is if you're going to get rid of McNabb, you would hope they'd replace him with someone that can win them a SB....and I just don't think Kolb is that guy. I hope he proves me wrong sometime in the next few years.

The next Bill Walsh has been riding the "weak arm" train for awhile.  His arm is not as strong as Donovan's arm, therefore it is weak according to dopey's logic.

[SD]

he just doesn't have the zip for those out patterns, easy pickings all day long.
