QB Controversy in Philly?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

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.

    • So you believe that Levis had a better day throwing deep because one of those was a TDs? Asking for clarity on that as it was already clearly demonstrated that Bryce would've had a TD had Moore not dropped it in the back of the end zone. The entire purpose of their metric is to look at the throw and grade that because the QB has complete control over it. That was made abundantly clear from the video provided prior to that. Nobody is trying to manifest him as a top-10 player. He had performances during his return from benching that measured in the top-10 in different metrics. The issue at play is that because those stats support Bryce's progress (and refutes that his ceiling is his floor), that you and other people that don't care for Bryce being the Panthers' QB are going out of your way to either a) ignore factual data, or b) cast uncertainty on the methodology. There's no actual interest in stats and facts like as you mentioned previously. All of the non-PFF info, like passing yards in a single game, is also not entirely reliant on the QB. That's one of the points that Jimmy has hammered home but y'all continue to try and sidestep: that the ability to throw deep relies more on elements like timing rather than physically having a howitzer for an arm. Yes, arm strength does play a role but let's not be coy: the entire narrative that Bryce is not a capable deep ball thrower is 100% rooted in the same reasoning that folks had for thinking he wouldn't survive an NFL hit... bro is too smol. We have plenty of data (AND film) that show this. Whether or not the people that don't want it to be true stop clinging to what they want to believe instead is up to them.
    • This isn’t a bad deal for the right people. Sure not everyone has that kind of money to burn. But $10k for everything including all travel (that includes a private flight), lodging, meals, tix to the game? Meeting former players? It’s a lot of logistics that if done solo would take a lot of time to coordinate. When I was younger I spent my time to save money, and now I spend my money to save time. 
    • Displays of luxury spending like this are the only thing that will wake up the poor peasants currently shouting at each other. At least, that's my only way to optimistically look at this trash.
