Has Reid "tied his horse" to Kevin Kolb? (1 Viewer)

[Hang 10]

I also think all the QB talk has deflected a lot of criticism about why the defense allowed more than 30 points to Detroit's backup QB. The Vick/Kolb situation has covered up some of the team's other flaws. Vick at QB might guarantee nothing more then a 10-6 season followed by a first round exit from the playoffs. Great, then where do they find themselves for '11? Kolb, Kafka, and a bunch of ?????.

Again, why couldn't the eagles just resign Vick if he plays well? I just don't understand why people think Kolb has the higher ceiling here...Or what they're basing it on.

I'd say because Kolb has a 12 million dollar contract through next year and Vick will get a multi year deal at 10 mil per as a free agent. Would the Eagles just cut Kolb loose without ever giving him a legit shot?

You didn't answer my question. Why do you think that Vick can only take the eagles only so far but with Kolb the skys the limit? Kolb isn't a rookie that eagles need to flush a season on to find out what they have. This is his 4th season and if he's not better than Vick right now, then he probably never will be. His shot is to prove he's the better QB right now.

I've never said the sky's the limit with Kolb. I've said we don't know what we have in Kolb. The rest is up to Reid and the front office and they really don't care what this message board or any blogger thinks.

Well, as a redskin fan, I sure hope the eagles put all the eggs in the Kolb basket and let Vick sign somewhere else in the off season.

Wow...Andy has changed his mind and named Michael Vick the starting QB.

Citing widespread message board input, Reid names Vick starter.

I posted this a while ago but Reid did come out and say in one press conference that he isn't playing for the future, he is playing to win now. Interesting.
