QB Controversy in Philly?

Knowing the Eagle fanbase, I have to wonder.

Realistically speaking, Vick completed one good pass on a play where the DB fell down. After that, not so hot. McNabb wasn't anything to write home about either, but at least he recovered from a very slow start to put up some decent stats (in fairness, he got lots of help from Ken Hamlin on the TD drive).

So here's the two parter:

One, is there going to be a QB controversy in Eagle land?

Two, should there be?

I doubt it. Talking heads may stir the pot, but Vick doesn't fit Andy Reid's pass heavy offense which relies on Quarterback accuracy, and that will never be Mike's strong suit. Don't be surprised to see Vick traded to a desperate team for a mid round draft pick.

There will be (and has been a QB controversy) but it is about Kolb not Vick.

QB was the least of the problems. Dallas has built a team that is far superior to the Eagles in so many ways. They are bigger, faster and can kill our QB without even having to blitz. Their O-line is big and out muscles our undersized D_line. Props to the Cowboys for building a very good football team.

Here is a great article on McNabb and the Eagles from Gary Cobb that is dead on.

I'd actually agree about Kolb, but I asked about Vick instead for two reasons.

1) I know how the Eagles fanbase can be

2) I know how the Vick worshippers think

Last night's results will likely make sense in the minds of those factions (whether they should or not).

Its widely accepted that Michael Vick will not be in Philly long, and given with what we've seen this season and his continued popularity and how bad QBing is in the NFL right now, he needs to be starting for another team next season.

QBing is bad in the NFL?

You do realize that the NFL had 10 QB's with 4,000 or more yards passing.

The bottom teams need help, but overall the NFL QB's are better than they have ever been, as a whole.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
