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.

    • I agree, but I've already said that the players will definitely take more money up front because it's more security. But they want more guaranteed money and NFL FOs don't want to do that for several and various reasons, and that's what's at issue.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-second-round-rookies-finally-starting-to-sign-what-took-so-long-and-what-it-means-for-future-contracts/ It's a tug of war between teams and players, and, sure, paying a player a signing bonus may satisfy them, especially if--and sometimes "only if"--it ultimately leads to a guarantee of more of their contract, but the teams are on the hook for all of those guarantees when cap time comes, so if they guarantee more money, they're ultimately losing the contract game.
    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
