Kevin Kolb anyone?

Obviously Vick is the clear cut starter for the Eagles now. Kolb has shown signs of brilliance, but has also shown signs of mediocrity. I'm not sure what his contract situation is, but we should trade for him or sign him to compete this upcoming year. Since there's really nothing to look forward to next season, I at least want a chance to have more than 2 wins next year.

I wouldn't mind him as a Panther but he is NOT who we should be going for. He would not be the solution. An upgrade over Jimmy...yes. But a solution to our long term problems...no

I mean you never know. Give the guy a chance. Even if he's not the answer to our long term problems, neither is Jimmy or Matty. At least we should bring him in here to compete and see what happens. If he can come in, put together a decent season, and win us 6-7 games next year, he might be something to look at.

I just don't think I can stand another 2-14 season, that's all.

I hear you man

There are so many things that need to be corrected and right now no one knows what direction we are headed

I'm all for a guy like Kolb. I am strongly against drafting a QB at #1 with Luck out of the equation. It's a bad idea. This is JaMarcus Russel/Alex Smith/Vince Young/Brady Quinn etc etc etc type stuff all over again.

And let's not forget, even when Vick put together a couple of great starts early on in the season, Andy Reid still declared Kolb his starter. Obviously Reid saw something in Kolb that he didn't see in Vick.

However, Vick started to put up MVP type numbers, so it was almost impossible to go against him.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
