I expect the Eagles to keep Kolb as a backup to Vick. Vick has a history of getting banged up so they need a solid alternative as backup. The only way they part with Kolb is for multiple 1st rounders, at least that's what I have heard. There is no way Kolb is worth even one 1st rounder, IMO.

Now that drafting Luck is probably out of the question (he still has 8 days to change his mind), and with the coaching staff on its way out, it seems vital that we upgrade the quartback coaching position with someone new who has proven himself capable before we throw an additional quarterback of indeterminate quality into the mix.

While many folks rip Clausen for not improving as the season matured, Rip Scherer wasn't able to help any of the lot either. No new head coach will succeed without a force in the areas of great need. Here's a few QB coaches of note:

Alex Van Pelt - Tampa Bay Bucs - Under an inexperienced head coach, this QB coach was able to make 2nd year QB Josh Freeman look really good, and getting some scoop on a division rival is always a bonus.

Ben McDaniels - Denver Broncos - Coached up Kyle Orton who played an outstanding season this year, and The Golden Calf of Bristol who played well on a weak team in his rookie year.

James Urban - Philadelphia Eagles - He knew when McNabb was disposable, he knew when Vick had improved enough to start, he knew when Kolb needed to sit, and he participated in the analysis and drafts of many good QBs.

Richard Curl - Saint Louis Rams - Coached up the most expensive rookie ever in Sam Bradford to compete for the division title amidst a new and fluxuating receiving corps, albeit in a weak division.

If they asked for two first round picks, they'd get no offers for him.

I suspect that like all free agents this year, Kolb will be a victim of a late agreement on the CBA. With players like Kolb available, the urgent need to draft a QB who may never get to practice before the regular seasons starts is greatly reduced.

if anyone thinks he is worth any extra pick other than only a 1st.. you're crazy..

I wouldn't even want to see a 1st given up for him. he was drafted in the 2nd and hasn't proven a damn thing.. he should be worth only a 2nd at the most..

      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.

      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.
