Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagle

[ice grillin you]

you are completely missing the point

it really cant be calculated how much of an upgrade he is at the position and thats all that matters

would you rather have dmitri patterson and a zesty pass rush or rowcrow and a zesty pass rush

the d line will be addressed and taken care of or it wont...are you insinuating that they shouldnt get a good corner because the pass rush sucks?

[DH]

rowcrow?? oh, cmon

[SD]

Gonna be pretty pissed if all they get for Kolb is DRC

[ice grillin you]

why?....three months ago we were hoping for a number one pick that probably would have been a fail

now they got a number one pick who is young as shtein and already a good player...and at a position they really need

im estatic about this move....anything more than drc is just icing on the cake...its probably going to be like a conditional three or four

[DH]

Its 10AM - lets do this

[SD]

Because DRC was terrible last season and a young QB has more trade value than a good CB has.

[reese125]

Yep.

[ice grillin you]

Because DRC was terrible last season and a young QB has more trade value than a good CB has.

and a proven player is always better than a total questionmark...also cobb is two years older than cromartie...i dont consider 27 exactly young

also he wasnt terrible...but lets say he was...he was still better than cobb

you cant stare into the banner inc swirly lolipop otherwise youll think cobb is the next coming and they should be getting two ones or some crazy shtein like that...cobb was a second round pick who has been sub par thus far in his nfl time...not sure how much you really expect to get for him

three months ago the question was could the eagles even get a one for cobb or would it be like a two and a four...id say this is a very good deal when you consider they would have instead had some crappy draft pick(s) that might never contribute...and even if you dont think its a good deal to be pissed about it is pretty silly

[SD]

Kolb isn't a 'total question mark'. The guy has NFL experience and has proven he can play in the league.

27 is young for a QB, especially one who doesn't have the wear and tear on his body like a guy like Vick has.

DRC was one of the best CBs in the league two seasons ago, but he fell off last season. I'm fine with him as the starter but a young QB with potential who has proven he can play in the league is worth more than a decent CB.
Kolb is easily worth a 1st or the equivalent to it, especially consiering what other QBs similar to him have gone for.

[ice grillin you]

cobb threw more int's than td's last year (and in his career)...were he 22 and a rookie id say that doesnt matter but when you are 27 that hurts your value...he certainly hasnt proven he can be a starter in this league...hes probably proved to be a competant back up thus far

andy reid is also notorious for being able to make bad qb's look good in philly...that also has to be a concern to any team...especially since cobb has shown no overtly positive physical skills

so really he is not "easily" worth a one...could he have retrieved a one in return...probably a mid to low first if you could have found the right team...but even in that scenario id rather have drc than some unknown draft pick

[Rome]

Kolb's arm strength alone makes worth a one.

[SD]

Kolb's arm strength alone makes worth a one.

He doesn't have the zip on the ball like you'd like *cue 84 yard pass to Desean Jackson vs. the Saints*

[rjs246]

So, um, so much for the MAYHEM that was supposed to ensure with the onset of free agency. Color me bored.

[Rome]

Pretty sure they can only talk to free agents, not sign them yet.  Friday, I think I read somewhere?

Domo saying that he was told there will be no Kolb trade announcements today
