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.

    • For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled. 
    • This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
    • The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
