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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By SCO96 · Posted

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2024 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
