Go on the record - Who is your starting QB?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Two part question:
1.  Once Vick is healthy, does he start?  In other words, who is your starter for 2010?
2.  Assuming both QB's get through the season alive, do you let Vick's contract expire or do you re-sign him and trade Kolb?  In other words, who is your starter for 2011?

I'm on the record:
2010 - VICK
2011 - VICK


I think Kolb is pretty good and could end up really good, so you don't trade him within the division, or even the conference, if possible.  But if Kolb plays another great game or two this season, he will command a 1st rounder (and possibly more), so even if you think that Kolb is equal or slightly better than Vick long-term, the team would be better keeping Vick.  Right?

[Zanshin]

I'd keep Kolb and trade Vick.

[joneszilla]

I've always said that Vick is immensely overrated.  Kolb is my choice.

[ice grillin you]

trading vick for anything less than a #1 would be incredibly stupid

cobb should be the starter...as he should have been when he looked zesty and vick was the league mvp after three weeks...yesterdays game should not have changed anyones mind

I say Kolb for both but the truth is that as long as we never see the Wildcat or rotating QBs intra-game ever again I'll be happy.

Definitely agree 100% with that.

I guess depends on what we see the rest of the season. If this was Kolb's last outing, Vick comes back, and plays the rest of the season and plays well you have to with Vick. I'd like to say Vick but someone can always argue we still haven't seen enough games with Kolb and they would be right.

They just better not let Vick walk away for nothing. Resign him and trade Kolb to Cleveland.

2010 - kolb
2011 - kolb

Smallwood makes an interesting argument

Basically, the whole reason Vick was named starter was to ride the hot streak and try to win some football games.  But now Kolb's the hot hand and Vick could be very rusty coming back from injury.  So, if Reid really wants to give the team the best chance to win, he sticks with Kolb.  Hoo boy.

Anyway, here is the correct answer:
Kolb starts at Tennessee no matter what.
Whoever is going to start after the bye is your guy.  At this point an answer of 2010 Vick and 2011 Kolb doesn't make a lick of sense.

[Magical_Retard]

I don't buy into that theory. You prepare the whole off-season, hell you had this guy drafted in 07, to turn over the franchise to him and you bench him just to ride a hot streak till it fizzles out?

Reid is extremely stubborn and I doubt he would bench Kolb just for that. Injury yes. Bad play? No. Never did with McNabb. My opinion is that going into the season they thought that Kolb would pick up from where they left off and possibly be better so this team would not skip a beat offensively. That had to be it because otherwise you are completely rebuilding and you don't care if he has a bad half or two and in fact thats part of the learning process.

[General_Failure]

His job was never on the line when McNabb was in there. Reid isn't going to get a chance to start over with another draft pick, so he's going to go with the quarterback that keeps him employed. When Kolb was struggling and Vick wasn't, it was Vick. Now that Kolb isn't struggling so much, that's the guy he'll go with.

Of course, there's still a good chance that Reid will farg it all up again by putting Vick in at random.

You honestly think that if Kolb is a failure, Reid's job is on the line? He would need to fail with/on Kolb and have 2-3 seasons of below .500 record for his job to even be in danger.

I see him retiring before he ever gets fired from here.

Well, he benched him thinking that Vick's hot streak wouldn't be interrupted by an injury and a Kolb hot streak.  Your logic is kind of circuitous and generally makes less sense than most anything here after everything we've seen.  Essentially, you are making a week 3 argument after week 6.  Nice job.

[Magical_Retard]

Ok going with what you are saying if Vick's hot streak lasted all the way to the end of the season and possibly playoffs, what then? You let him go?

My point was that I don't think Reid would benched Kolb, the new franchise, simply because he had a bad half and wanted to ride the hot streak with Vick.

like gf said andy will go with whoever he thinks gives them the best chance to win...and really no matter who you think should be in there can you argue with that?
