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!"

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.

      I've got nothing else to say really than: Ayup. Here we are again. Again.  All we can really hope for is progress. If we improve as much again, it'll be good. If we don't, it'll be foretold.
