McNabb or Kolb ? (1 Viewer)

[The Moz]

Am I the only one that thinks legitly that Kolb is the better QB?

McNabb is better at avoiding a sack and getting out of trouble , and he has the stronger arm for deep throws. But he always throws a ton of dirt balls and passes that are just really off. Kolb just looked so smooth in the pocket passing. Seemed like even the WR's flourished much more under Kolb than McNabb. I know it would never happen as Reid has a small crush on Donovan but If he was injured it might actually be a boost to the team.

 

[B-Deep]

yes, you are

 

[rvmblack]

I wish you were in my fantasy league

That's racist! ....i think Kolbe is better

 

[Zoomanji]

yes, you are

 

[JuniorNB]

Wow, dude. McNabb is one of the league's ten best QBs. He's been to 5 of the last 8 NFC CHampionship games. Let's bench him to play the guy who beat the Chiefs.

This isn't usually the reaction teams get when they just destroyed a divisional rival on the road. A QB change?

How many games has Kolb played again? You may want to wait a while on your comparison.........

 

[NatronIsMean]

I don't think it's heresy to ask. The offense DID (as a FACT) look better with Kolb at the helm. Now, was that due to the opponents? There are a lot of potential theories. But it is not a no brainer that McNabb is untouchable with the way he has been playing. He just throws too many inaccurate passes and the Eagles are too good at every other position to not ask the question.

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Wow, dude. McNabb is one of the league's ten best QBs.

Top 10 career wise or top 10 talents? Cause if its based on talent and right now I dont have him in the top 10.Rodgers - Brees - Brady - Both Mannings - Palmer - Romo - Favre - Roethlisberger - Rivers - Warner and then you could argueSchaub - Ryan - Flacco

How did Kolb do during his weeks? Top 10 numbers? Just checking. Philly is a GOOD team across the board. To be honest, think about Brady before Bledsoe gave way. Think about Romo before Bledsoe gave way. Think about Rodgers if Favre didn't get retirement crazy. What if McNabb is just *good enough* to not quite pull a Bledsoe and you forego finding out what you have. I'm not assuming Kolb is the next coming of Brady, but it's not a stupid question to ask.

they didn't destroy the redskins. did you watch the game? they made 2 big plays. they barely had 250 total yards. at one point late, they had 6 first downs.

i agree natronismean. i think the offense has looked better with kolb this year.

this is two bad offensive performances in a row for mcnabb.

now, all that said, i don't foresee a change coming this yaer. and i'm not sure a change will come next year unless the beancounters determine they need to shed salary and mcnabb is the place to do it.

So if you were the Eagles and you are going to the Superbowl and you could any of the above QBs to play the game you would choose McNabb?? Not me.

COULD he be a diamond in the rough, sure.AS of now thinking he will be is silly.

I wouldn't take Romo for McNabb in a million years. Romo is a Septemeber/October All-Star. If you think Mcnabb chokes in NFC Championship games, you'd love a guy who did it every Decemeber and never won a playoff game.I'll give you P. Manning, Brees, Roethlisberger, and Brady as no-brainers. Rodgers, Rivers, Eli and Warner are a tossups.The three kids you have listed need to show me something first. Ryan already seems to be coming back to earth.

nor meBUTtop 10 or not, ALL INDICATIONS ARE he's better then Kolb at this point

But it is not a no brainer that McNabb is untouchable with the way he has been playing. He just throws too many inaccurate passes and the Eagles are too good at every other position to not ask the question.

The offense looked pretty great in McNabb's first two games this year as well. They also could have racked up 45 last night if Reid didn't call off teh dogs and go conservative after the half. The Eagles offense looked horrible for one game- Oakland. And that was with both starting tackles out. But lo and behold, that'll be the game McNabb-haters bring up every time they want to promote their manlove for teh backup.

 

[JamesTheScot]

McNabb is still better than Kolb right now but it is probably due to the differences in experience and comfort with the game. But I agree, McNabb can throw some balls that just make you think "WTF!" Some of his throws are as bad as JaMarcus Russell's and Jake Delhomme's. Of course McNabb just has a couple here and there while Russell has a couple every possession and Delhomme completes them to a DB.

Kolb has everything he needs physically to be a good QB and I think the early indicators are that he has it between the ears as well. The thing is, no one ever "proves it" to the fans until he first gets the chance to play...when, by the fan's definition, he is still unproven. That's the absurdity of the fans' demand that a player "prove it" first. He can't prove it to the armchair skeptic until the real life head coach puts him in the game. Of course for the head coach to put him in the game, he had to rpove something to the head coach, right?

What's Kolb done with his opportunity thus far? He's played very well, not just OK. I also am amused when people try and minimize what Kolb does by claiming that the system should get the credit or that the gameplan was tweaked to protect him...as if those same considerations haven't been in play for McNabb since he's been there.

I would take Eli in that situation, as he's won it before. Romo can't win any playoff game and Rivers has done less with much, much more than McNabb's ever had. Rodgers seems to be more of a fantasy darling than a great NFL quarterback. What's his record last year and this?

You have to remember on romo and rodgers, you are taking their QB on your TEAM. Romo far from holds the monopoly in the cowboys locker room on choking in the playoffs and late season, i am pretty sure that flu is damn near everywhereDitto Rodgers with his record, Philly is a better team than green bay, he'd get that team.I don't LIKE McNabb, but I think he is a very good QB. Probably not as good as he was a few years ago, and yeah there are flaws, but still a very good QB. I have always thought his biggest issue was that the team puts him in a spot to throw way too often. Combine this with his ability to run, and it set a recipe for injurry, and that's marred his carreer.That and vomiting in the super bowl

I would take Rivers and Rodgers way before McNabb. Eli is also looking pretty good this year again, so I am up in the air on that one. I would take McNabb over Romo.

This is my general take. Both that Kolb did show enough to be considered. When a backup QB comes into a game unexpectedly, I always throw away the results since the defense had no game plan for that QB. Defense is all about tape and preparation. But once he started, he showed that he was able to MAKE ACCURATE PASSES.With McNabb, he really has thrown a huge number of ducks. He'll get a good completion here and there, but Kolb honestly could make those throws. McNabb is going to be the guy. I just hope that Reid and company keep an open mind. He doesn't need to be Delhomme-bad to be pulled. I remember last year when McNabb was benched for playing HORROBLE. This isn't the first time this has come up. It was one thing when he was a multifaceted QB (run and pass). As a pocket passer he just IS NOT accurate enough.

Rivers is one of the most under appreciated players in the NFL. All he did was throw for 4000 yards and 34 TD's last year. How many times has McNabb did either?

I know it would never happen as Reid has a small crush on Donovan but If he was injured it might actually be a boost to the team.

I swear this happens everytime McNabb has a bad or mediocre game.

Totally agree. All things equal, if I have to win a playoff game, give me Brady/Brees/Manning then Big Ben then Rivers then Rodgers then Romo then Eli then Palmer then McNabb. I like McNabb's leadership and intangibles. I hate the idea of relying on him to bring me back with 50 seconds in the 4th quarter or to make that "one tough throw".

wasn't Kolb demoted to QB3 last night? I think he should beat out Vick (although I think he's better than Vick) before taking a shot at McNabb.

You have to remember on romo and rodgers, you are taking their QB on your TEAM. Romo far from holds the monopoly in the cowboys locker room on choking in the playoffs and late season, i am pretty sure that flu is damn near everywhere

Romo is definitely the ring-leader of those chokers. The last game of the season last year, Romo looked like he was going to cry. I think it ended 44-6. McNabb was awesome.The Cowboys surround Romo with great talent. Make no mistake about that.

And they surround him with awful leadership. Their playoff woes extend way prior to Romo. I am not saying Romo is better then Mcbnabb, I was just pointing out that we have to think of the situations players are in.Either way on Romo I don't think mcnabb is top 10, nor do i think Kolb is better then him at this point.

 

[Bushead]

wasn't Kolb demoted to QB3 last night? I think he should beat out Vick (although I think he's better than Vick) before taking a shot at McNabb.

He wasn't demoted, he is always the #3 QB. It is because of the active roster limits and the fact they use Vick in the Wildcat/Spread Eagle (for whatever reason). He doesn't count as one of the 44 active players if he is listed as the emergency/#3 QB (at least that is my understanding) As was the case in weeks 2 & 3, if McNabb goes down due to injury - Kolb is the starter.

Oh I see, so he doesn't take up an active roster spot. But what happens if McNabb goes down mid game? Can they activate him then? Never really had to look at this situation before....

As the emergency 3rd QB, Kolb can come in at any time but if he enters the game prior to the 4th quarter, QB1 and QB2 cannot come back into the game.

McNabb > Rodgers, Rivers, Romo, maybe Eli if he can show that 2007 wasn't a fluke.

So if you were the Eagles and you are going to the Superbowl and you could any of the above QBs to play the game you would choose McNabb?? Not me.

Yes, I would take McNabb over just about everyone in that list minus Peyton and Brady, maybe Rothlisberger. Eli-4 playoff wins-Giants def won that Championship.Warner- 8 playoff wins-has performed when given some of the most ridicluous offensive weapons available. What would donovan look like with Fitz and Boldin? Better yet, what would Warner look like with some of the ######s the birds have trotted out as "receivers"?Brees-1 playoff win-Similar to Warner in that he has always had amazing weapons. IMO hasn't proven anything postseason. Rivers- 3 playoff winsRomo, Rodgers, Palmer, Schaub, Flacco, Ryan need to win something before I would ever consider them over McNabb; who has 9 playoff victories BTW.

always been a fan and i think that mcnabb is the most underappreciated QB of this decade.its laughable that people are taking romo over mcnabb to win a playoff game and saying that rivers has done more with less when he had gates and LT in their primes.

Eli had a very good playoffs leading up to the Superbowl and the bottom line is that he won. Not only did he win............he beat a team that was considered by many to be the greatest ever leading up to that game. Warner has now been to 3 superbowls and won one of them. I'll grant you he had a ton of weapons in St. Louis. He also had a ton of offensive weapons in Arizona but he didn't have anywhere near the defenses that McNabb has had most of his career. Also, I think Warner would look better than McNabb with the #####s the birds trotted out because he's just more accurate. This is assuming that the offensive line gave him time to throw the ball. I don't think many people would take McNabb over Brees at this stage of their careers. If you don't buy that, not sure what to tell you. Other than that, you probably have a legitimate case against the others. Palmer may be better but he'll have to prove that he can stay healthy. The jury is still out on Rodgers.

Not me either. I'd take Rodgers or Rivers in a heartbeat. Maybe Eli.... definitely not Romo. He would choke the game away too.

 

[Knobs]

To those who claim he can't make a clutch throw:

4th and 26.

 

[Maroney=Sped]

IMHO both Kolb and McNabb are starters next year, McNabb with the Eagles and Kolb for another team (Redskins?).

 

[renesauz]

To those who claim he can't make a clutch throw:4th and 26.

As someone else stated, McNabb may be the most under-appeciated QB this decade.He DOES however, have an annoying habit which pops up 3-4 games a year where he starts throwing almost every short to medium pass in the dirt short. In those games he's decidedly average (or even a little below).

 

[Maroney=Sped]

To those who claim he can't make a clutch throw:4th and 26.

Ok, sorry. He's made a clutch throw.
