Eagles/Chiefs Talk

[mussa]

must of been a slow week for the NFC

[General_Failure]

Brees only threw for 172 yards against the Bills, so yeah.

[phillymic2000]

According to NFLN last night Kolb is the first NFL QB to throw for over 300 yards in his first two games started...

HOF

[PhillyGirl]

lol @ POTW.

I mean, really LOL.

[Sgt PSN]

327 yds passing, 3 total td (2 pass, 1 rush), 0 int, 71% comp is very much worth of potw regardless of who it is. 

only 2 qb's in the nfc threw for more yardage (warner, campbell) and both lost. 

i don't get how you can laugh at and hate on kolb for actually playing well and getting some accolades for his play and still bash mcnabb haters even after mcnabb has a bad game.

PG, i was in the same place 2 weeks ago.  I think he's proving with #1 reps in practice, that he's not garbage.

Reps with the first team probably had less to do with it than playing against horrible defenses. Pimp could make any QB look good

i will say cobb has surprised me in that hes actually completed some passes in a real nfl game and overall been not disgusting but if he plays during the giant cowboy at sd at chi stretch eagles go 0-4

probably.  but kind of like the saints game, i would say that much of the teams troubles would be just as much on the defense. 

all i know is that as much as i've personally hated on kolb pretty much since the day he was drafted, i'm glad to see that he played fairly well for 2 games.

It drives me nuts, more than anything. If McNabb had this kind of talent around him for his entire career, how much better would he have looked? But no, Andy finally gets his offense together just in time for him to want to replace McNabb.

that's pretty much what i've been saying since this years draft.  it became very apparent after taking maclin and mccoy in the first 2 rounds that reid is loading up on skill players so that when kolb is given the keys in 2 years, this is what he'll have around him:

pimp entering his 4th year
mccoy entering his 3rd year
maclin entering his 3rd year
celek entering his 5th year
avant entering his 6th year (if he doesn't sign elsewhere)

basically, all of the offensive skill players will be in their prime for kolb to throw and hand off to. 

meanwhile, mcnabb gets small, johnson, thrash, pinkston, mitchell, etc, etc for his first 4 or 5 years.  farging hilarious. 

[QB Eagles]

So what are the odds of McNabb coming back from the rib injury and laying an egg against the ultra-zesty Tampa passing D? WIP's gotta be praying for that.

yep, the days of Torrance Small and Freddie Milons make me cry.  Kolb is better than i think i thought he was, but all of this is conjecture until he plays a stud d, which might not happen at all this year.  He did everything he could do to calm the masses, and did a great job. 391yds and 350yds, farging Pimp makes everyone look good

[Drunkmasterflex]

Yeah Jackson does make guys look good, but Kolb did put the ball where it needed to be.  Clearly it is too early to tell what kind of QB Kolb is.  How many times have we watched McNabb complete a pass to a guy that if it were in a better spot it goes for a big gain?

The thing is if this was a guy that everybody was excited about from the jump people would be creaming their farging pants about who well he performed in his first two NFL starts.

half the fanbase is praying for that....and honestly if he does bomb out against tampa the criticism wont be unwarranted
