will analysts like Jamie Dukes say "who is that guy"? when discussing the QB situation in philly? or will he automatically do well bc hes had 2 starts with 300 passing yards? personally, I can't wait to hear what they have to say just to compare stories. or is it worth comparing? what do you think?

Everyone recognizes him, and labels him better because he was a 2nd round draft pick. He has done absolutely nothing that would put him ahead of Moore, but since Moore went undrafted, he's automatically better.(in the eyes of the media/etc.)

Saw an article on NFL.com stating how Kolb "Light up Kansas City" (what an unbelieveable task BTW) but I seriously doubt anything about how much ass Moore has kicked against some really good teams with alot to play for will ever be mentioned.....

We are somewhat responsible for Kolb's rise to power. We hurt McNabb during our 1st game. I cannot remember if McNabb played the next week or not but I do know he eventually took a couple of weeks off after he got hurt against us. Which gave Kolb his starts and Philly's belief he could be good.

Kolb had 2 - 300 yd games during those few starts. Impressive, most definitely but enough to want him over Moore. I am not sold. Moore (as stated before) has excelled against some pretty decent competition.

Moore is better suited for us. He is solid enough to keep a defense honest. Has faith in our OLine to protect him so he isn't rattled by pressure when required to throw. Has the arm to get it down field. He is a good game manager and IMO what this team needs. We don't need a 300+ yd QB. That isn't our forte.

Go Panthers

kolb.

and i am an eagle fan who has never liked him since they drafted him.

explain how he's better

Moore in his first starts this year(5 games): 4-1, 8TD/1INT, 1,053 yards, 98.5 QB rating, 61.1% completions.

Kolb in his first starts this year(2 games): 1-1, 4TD/3INT, 741 yards, 88.9 QB rating, 64.6% completions.

i think kolb has more upside/potential. he was a second round pick for a reason. mcnabb got ripped for not 'being accurate' and kolb will def have a better completion percentage than mcnabb did most years. he played in a short pass offense in college which we know the eagles love to throw the ball so i do believe he is better suited for this offense than other QBs.

that said, i hated when they picked him in the second round, hoped he failed when he got a chance to play and would still take him over matt moore.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      In another post, Snow says about three years before you can properly grade a rookie class.  Sounds about right…

      And this reiterates why I don’t want a Young contract extension. Please let us find another QB.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      Oh, the high expectations after a draft. Keep your expectations low, people. Darin Gantt's latest "Ask The Old Guy" gives life to one of those lessons about pro football reality as a fan: "Rasheed Walker was a three-year starter at left tackle for the Packers, so Freeling is going to have to work. Hunter's got another big 'un in front of him in Bobby Brown III and a different kind of defensive tackle in Tershawn Wharton. Chris Brazzell II's got a lot of traffic at his position. Zakee Wheatley has to be better than the chronically underappreciated Nick Scott, and Sam Hecht is a fifth-round rookie at the hardest position on the line to play, who probably doesn't have immediate positional flexibility, and a solid free agent addition in Luke Fortner in front of him. "Fans generally love their draft class as soon as it arrives, because there is no evidence to the contrary yet. Once guys get on the field, the reality begins to creep in, and the seasoned among you remember that if you get three or four good players out of a draft, that was an amazing draft." https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-things-looking-up-after-the-draft-monroe-freeling-luke-kuechly-bryce-young-derrick-brown Don't get crazy. Winning the draft (or the offseason BTW) on paper always leads to good feelings and great expectations, especially when you seemingly succeeded the season before, but let's remember that the Panthers are very much a work in progress. Team building takes time. If we get a couple of starters out of the draft, it's a good draft, but three or four would be an amazing draft, and anything more than that is actually sensational--even if entails a few multiple high end rotational players along with three starters. Moreover, kind of within that same vein, the coaches have to let the kids off the chain. Remember the coach-speak of past coaches about competition that is anything but because coaches have their notions about veteran experience? Not saying that they're necessarily wrong, but sometimes I think their reluctance to put the young guys out there is based somewhat in dogma or possibly fear because big stakes are on the line (e.g., their jobs). It can be frustrating to say the least, but the coaches are supposed to know best. Again, I say all of this so that we can remember to temper expectations and keep them within the realm of reality. It's like telling your mind to think of it as something akin to under-promising and over-delivering. Leave room to be pleasantly surprised for the best case scenario, but be cognizant that that rarely happens. I would think at this point, most of us should be able to recognize growth when we see it, and sometimes that growth doesn't manifest itself in the form of immediate supremacy, but a setting of the stage for long term dominance for years to come. It seems like we're on track for an emergence by 2028 or 2029. We still have huge questions, but by 2029, hopefully we will take our seat at the table of the perennial contenders in the NFL.
