Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagle

Well, I wouldn't say that there will be any less pressure, but at least he'll likely know all week that he's starting.  The Niners are in complete desperation mode and I already have a bad feeling that we'll be seeing Kafka at some point on Sunday night.

More pressure - Playing in front of your home crowd with McNabb on the other sidelines and you are already down a couple of TD's and the wind is blowing pretty good.

Less Pressure - Playing on the road against an 0-4 team.

Anyway, you think we see Kafka b/c Kolb gets hurt or plays like a sissy boy?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Wind will be blowing in San Fran (as it always is), but I think Kolb will get hurt.

So.  I imagine the score will be 0-0 when the game starts,  and he can dink and dunk his way to the promised land.  The point was if you're down a few TD's to start there is more pressure to throw downfield and force something and it can be hard if the wind is blowing a lot.
Do you really think there is more pressure playing in SF?  Methinks you just like to argue for the sake of arguing.

I'm just saying that the Eagles are dead to rights if they lose to a winless team and that he won't have the early deficit to blame if they lose, so there is plenty of pressure on Kolb to get shtein done.

Kolb is going to get injured sooner or later with this online. This team isn't beating anyone if they play like they did yesterday.

Did we watch the same game?  He had plenty of time in the second half.

I am speechless.

Anyone got anything to dispute?

[Munson]

Even Kolb knows he doesn't have the arm to put it in those windows in time

[PhillyGirl]

Give the guy a break, he needs a season or 2 to figure it all out.

Learning process of a young QB. What you Kolb haters (you, munson, pg) don't seem to realize that the rest of us do is that we were willing to take a step BACKWARDS with him hoping he develops <-----(key word) into a good QB. Even his biggest supporters knew he needed some playing time. Comparing him to McNabb (see Sterling Sharpe's comment) whose played 100+ more games than he has is retarded.  They weren't getting it done with Mcnabb, plain and simple. Why stick with the bum when you have a young guy who has some skill? The only way an inexperienced QB improves and makes those throws in games is to actually play in a game.

[PhillyGirl]

Why you are lumping me in with the other 2, I have no idea.

I didn't want McNabb to stay.

Pump your brakes on the hater thing because I certainly do not hate the guy. I simply don't believe that he has what it takes to be a successful NFL QB.

But I will say this - he has been in the NFL three years. He has two eyes in his head and he is supposed to be able to read coverages and receivers. That is the most basic aspect of the position.

You're not going to sell me on taking a step back when the farging guy is routinely not looking down the damn field for an entire game.

And the few shots he did take, he was off on.

When you have FOUR receivers running open how much farging training or game experience do you need to pull the damn trigger?
