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!"

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
