When you give up a QB like Donovan McNabb the guy that is ready to step in, better be ready. Aaron Rogers was ready and performed well. he had his ups and downs his first season as a starter, but he never looked completely and utterly lost...
And like you said with Philly's horrible line it will benefit them much more having vick out there that can make plays
But at the end of the day the Eagles aren't a good all around team and will win 8, maybe 9 games
Come on postman did you watch either game Kolb started last year...ill bet you didn't? So your basing your opinion of what sportscenter highlights...get a life. Kolb started two games last year and while he didn't look like a pro-bowler saying he showed no signs of being any good, is pretty pathetic.
I mean he had a less than avg game against the super bowl champs ( who didn't ) and destroyed the Chiefs (which he should have done). His stats weren't awful and i think he is the only qb ever to throw for over 300 yards in his first 2 starts. Look at the stats or watch a game then give an opinion thats actually worth something.
Aaron rodgers didn't light the world on fire his first year either( every team wishes they could play Det twice a year). The eagles have one of the youngest offensive cores in the league. Maclin, Celek, jackson, kolb, McCoy, Avant are all 25 and younger i believe so its going to take them a game or two to gel. Im fine with Vick starting, just not baseless opinions.
you're right, I didn't watch last year so I can't really speak of those, but I saw the game this year. Maybe its a small bit of what Kolb is capable of, but he looked like he didn't even belong in the league.
People don't like Vick, I get that...but he is so much better then Kolb. This is a win now league, you go with what works. Yes Vick's only win as a starter is against the Lions, but I think he has proven he can lead a team if given the chance.
I do agree though, it was unfair of me to judge him on just seeing one game. He could be a good QB, I just think Vick is better and think its dumb to waste a season waiting for your guy to develop on the field. Thats just my opinion...
but smile man, its sports, its ok to disagree and discuss things. I wasn't attacking you personally or anything...
everybody is so sensitive these days...
