Who will have a better "first" year, Moore or Kolb?

Stats entering 2010:

Moore: 8 Starts, 249 Attempts, 59.4% Completion, 11 TDs, 7 INTs, 1,783Yds/7.2 Avg

Kolb: 2 Starts, 130 Attempts, 60.8% Completion, 4 TDs, 7 INTs, 885Yds/6.8Avg

Here are two quarterbacks in a very similar situation, both have earned their starting spots in the eyes of their coach and both are expected to come out and win games.

In my opinion, Moore has done more to prove himself, but Kolb has the better support cast of wide receivers.

So which former backup will have the better year?

Well, Moore has DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, and Steve Smith, and a dominant offensive line.

Kolb has DeSean Jackson.

I know who my vote goes to.

Desean Jackson and...

Macklin and Celeck

All 3 have a very good chance of going over 1,000 yards. Jackson was over 1,000 last year, Celeck missed it by 29 yeards, and Macklin could be Kolb's favorite target this year.

It really shouldn't be a debate though because we are talking about two totally different offenses. The Eagles are going to throw the ball all over the place and 4,000 yds is not out of the question for Kolb. The Panthers are going to run the ball. Comparing the two doesn't make much sense to me.

I thought you'd turn up ;)

Anyways, I think the Iggles will do better than most give them credit for this year.

Looking at the schedule I think a 9-7 is achievable and hopefully a wild card. Kolb will have his ups and downs of course but if the Eagles struggle I really don't he will be the cause of it. Lot's of questions on defense and the offensive line assigned to protect him is garbage.

I honestly think Moore and Kolb will both have good years but their stats won't tell the whole story (as they rarely do) because Kolb's stats will most likely be "sexier".

Even though Kolb is almost guaranteed to have more yards and TDs due to the nature of the offense, Moore could still have a better year playwise if his completion % and TD-INT ratio is better.

true.. but does that really matter? like people look at payton mannings stats and go "oh he doesn't have the TD's-INT's as a Matt Moore who has 2,000 yards" no, they are going to look at the 4,200 Yards Passing and 20 TD's and thats all they need to

True, but these are the same average people that look at 0.99 and go "OMG It's under a dollar...VALUE!"

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
