Go on the record - Who is your starting QB?

[ice grillin you]

I don't get how everyone thinks Mike Vick, after two games were he played lights out, is expected to play over and above how he's played for his career. Igy, you think that he's now realizing his true potential? I'm serious, because I never thought he did, after seeing the talent he had. He was never a disciplined player, you think two years in lockup and a new outlook on life will make him the quarterback everyone thought he was coming out of college? That would be great for the Eagles, but it's asking a lot imo. He might be a different person, might be looking at playbooks, studying film, but to do it on the field is another thing entirely.

earlier in the thread you said vick was the better qb....but now it seems all you are doing is trying to denegrate him

if you believe that cobb is the better qb then your mindless ramblings have merit...but if you want cobb to start because you think somehow over the next five games the state of the franchise rests on finding out if he is a nfl qb or not then you are very misguided

[smeags]

just keep kolb ready because vick is going to get hurt again.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Probably.  But they will ride that horse until he's ready for the glue factory.

[reese125]

I dont think so...hes been working with ricky henderson on his slide.

earlier in the thread you said vick was the better qb

No, I did not. I've said all along that Kolb needs to start. I've never said Vick was the better qb.

unless vick somehow learned how to play cornerback over the weekend there's nothing his presence would have made in terms of a difference on sunday.

then theres no argument...you think cobb is better and thats why he should start

Right, because the offense was a point-scoring juggernaut and basically lost a shootout.  That's totally what happened.

I disagree, he's a better redzone QB. The Eagles could have had a bigger lead. With a half ass effort the Eagles could have held their points to the mid 20's and Vick could have easily lead the O to TDs instead of Akers FGs.

truth

maybe with vick in the game instead of running shady they roll vick out and he throws or runs it in instead of a turnover

+7 points on the deep ball to Maclin that the wind knocked down
+4 points most likely on any one of those field goals where Vick could have used his legs to get a 1st down


No they're not sure htings, but Vick would have given them a better chance to do either one of those, and it very easily could have kept the game from getting to where it got

[Tomahawk]

Or Vick would have thrown an interception in the Red Zone. Or fumbled it. It's not like the guy is a guaranteed touchdown machine

[Magical_Retard]

Well of course he could have thrown a pick or fumbled. But if we are to base his performance off of this season, he has been pretty good with protecting the ball (fumbles), good with not throwing picks, and lucky that his bad passes have not been picked off. You can believe Kolb is better or not or that he needs to be the starter for future reasons, but cmon Vick is a better QB in the red-zone at least. The threat to run it in scares the defenses.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Absolutely.  But to say that a different QB would not have made any difference because the defense opened the flood gates is obtuse.

[ice grillin you]

seven for eight in the red zone for vick

not scores....touchdowns
