Like Aikman said "...can't see the field and can't pull the trigger"

When did anybody on this board say they were going to the SB with him this year?

I honestly never thought he would be a guy that would constantly check down.  That being said they did move the ball a little, but killed themselves with penalties and a fumble.

He's atrocious. he might not even be good backup material, he's really THAT bad.

What were the longest passes completed in the 2nd half?

PhillyGirl

By who?

You're saying kolb's were? I don't care. The Skins had the lead, did they need to throw long passes? I'm not quite getting what you're after here.

Yeah he has played enough football for you to know that.

I'm saying that if your biggest complaint was that he didn't stretch the field, neither did McNabb.  So, you might just be rushing to judgment a wee bit.

Kolb looks terrible. Period.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

hey PG, isn't it neat when a game and a half validates you previously uneducated opinion?
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

Are you for real with this? About 450 times I stated that I hoped I was wrong. I hoped he was going to be so good and WAS the next Tom Brady...or even something resembling a QB with accuracy and a good feel/read of the field.

I didn't think it was the case, but omg, I so wanted it to be.

OK, so after the preseason, it was "its just the preseason, it means nothing"

Then after he got hurt after 1.5 quarters, it was "Its not enough indication to see how good he is only playing 1.5 quarters"

Now he comes in..plays exactly the same piss poor football (and I'm being generous calling it football here) and its "isn't it neat when he only plays a game and a half?"

:-D :boom

He still has yet to play and entire game from start to finish. He if he sucks then, there's no more excuses. If every team gave a guy a couple of games to audition, tons of good-to-great QBs, RBs, DEs, etc., would have been cut before ever making an impact. Do I think Kolb can be great? Not likely. Do I think there is enough out there on the guy to say 100% he sucks? Not nearly.


This season was a wash anyway. Realize that and you'll stop catching feelings and getting so pissed. This team is still unbelievably young and extremely talented in key spots. Vick wasn't going to win them a Super Bowl anyway. Find out if we need to draft a QB or if there is something that can be developed. You can't just kick dude to the curb.

Every QB that has ever played this game has had to go through growing pains on the field.  He hasn't even had one full season under his belt.  When he had time to throw he played decent.

If you don't think he's going to be great, and just average, why would you keep him around?

The only teams that have won SB's with guys like that at QB have been teams with two things the Eagles will never have under Andy Reid....an (often used) dominating run game, and a stifling, dominating defense.

If Kolb's going to be too scared to pull the trigger, he's never going to be "the guy" that can get them there. He was slightly below average today, and was two dropped INT's from being completely horrendous. I want to believe, but I don't believe that a weeks worth of preparation will take the scare out him and the dance out of his feet. Luckily he gets the hapless 49ers, so maybe he can settle down a little bit, make some quick decisions, and make the throws downfield.

Drunk-the oline was not great today, but Kolb certainly had time to throw.
