Eagles Fans Cross Your Fingers

There are wild rumors circling today that the Eagles may have a deal in place trading Kolb to the Cardinals once the lockout is over. This has obviously been going on for awhile now, but there have been a fire of rumors since these tweets were made...

Jim Trotter of Sports Illustrated reported Thursday that "the name I'm hearing will surprise you." On Friday, Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett added fuel to that fire with a tweet of his own:

"They say we 'Cardinals' gonna get kevin KOLB & we are trading a secret player for him! Hmmm I wonder who? I think I know, but I 100% don't (ESPN)?"

Who could this player be. Well most rumors seem to suggest there are three options that make sense Patrick Peterson, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, and Daryl Washington. Any of these guys would be a steal. I think Peterson was the best player to come out of the draft this year, Rodgers-Cromartie would give them another solid corner across from Asante Samuel. Even Daryl Washington would give them an LB, which the Eagles have needed for sometime now.

So, Eagles fans out there....pray this is true.

Vick To Return Against Falcons?

Following the Philadelphia Eagles' win on Sunday night, head coach Andy Reid dispelled any thoughts that the team had a QB controversy on their hands between Kevin Kolb and Michael Vick. The idea is that Vick will start as long as he's healthy enough to do so. The problem is that it doesn't sound like Vick will be ready to go for this week.

So except Kilb to get at least one more start, but it sounds like Vick will be the guy no matter what, then again Reid said the same thing about Kolb before Vick started a couple games.

Eagles Should Trade Kolb

The Eagles are sticking with Vick the rest of the season. Whatever you may think of that the decision has been made and the best thing the Eagles can do for everybody is trade Kolb, because right now if Vick struggles even a little bit people are going to starting saying that Kolb should be starting. It's just what happens, and the Eagles have to take care of this.

The best option is to trade Kolb. There are so many teams that need a QB, so they might be able to squeeze out a very good deal for the unproven backup. The Bills, Raiders, Cardinals all have no future QB. Out of those three I really think the Cardinals would be the best fit. Larry Fitzgerald needs a guy with a big arm, and a bright future, and Kolb is a better fit then drafting a rookie next season. This is all speculative at this point, but I think it is important that the Eagles move on this as quick as possible to avoid any kind of split locker room.

Eagles Do The Unthinkable (UPDATED)

They make Kevin Kolb the starter over Mike Vick.... Gay. I guess Philly really doesn't want to win this season because they obviously have a better shot with Vick under center. I know Kolb was Philly's project and they pegged him to be the future, but shit happens. If Drew Bledsoe didn't get hurt Tom Brady would never have been talked about. But the Patriots did the right thing went with the hot QB and have three rings to show for it. Kolb's time is over and done, in that one quarter of football I saw him play this year, I'm pretty sure Jamarcus Russell would have out played him easily.

Vick is the future, vick wins games, Kolb blows. end of discussion.

I hate Kevin Kolb, die.

***UPDATE***

- DP is wrong Vick is starting next week, and the Eagles are saying it's not because of Kolb's concussion.

Kolb Out, Vick In

Kevin Kolb's short career as the Eagles starting QB is over and gone, it's unfortunate but true. But where a door closes another opens and that's for Mike Vick.

Mike Vick had a very impressive debut where he played mistake free football and threw and ran for over 100 yards. Mike Vick is a starting quarterback in the league and if he plays another impressive game, not only will people forget Kevin Kolb's name, but embrace the tarnished QB.

My prediction: 14-26 for 200 yards and 1 TD and 145 rushing yards with 2 TDs.

Finally I get my Vick highlights on ESPN.

Reid Now Thinking Of Dealing McNabb?

Andy Reid came out and stated that he is entertaining offers on the Eagles quarterbacks. He did not say which one, but obviously the media wants it to be McNabb. I have said before that I think it is stupid to trade McNabb unless it is for crazy draft picks or something. Kolb could be the future, but there is no reason to keep Vick.

I can almost guarantee the Eagles will not go into next season with all 3 of these QB's, so right now I am sure they are just seeing what is out there. I am not sure what they could get for Vick, but I bet they could get something like a 2nd and 3th rounder for Kolb.

In the end, keep McNabb he is still a top 10 QB in this year (I might even say top 7).

McNabb Out For Week 3

"Late Sunday night, Sports Illustrated reported that the Eagles were not going to anticipate QB Donovan McNabb to be ready for their Week 3 game vs. the Chiefs. McNabb sat in Week 2 as he nurses a fractured rib. According to the report, Kevin Kolb will again start with Michael Vick, returning from a two-game suspension, seeing time under center as well (Sportsline)."

Kolb wasn't awesome last game, but he wasn't terrible either. The Eagles got destroyed by the Saints, but I still think this is a very smart move by them, since the Chiefs are a joke and just lost to the Raiders. The Eagles know they can win with a combo of Vick and Kolb for next week, and the extra time off for McNabb's ribs can only help...
