And how do you know he is a system QB, considering he has only played in one NFL system and has 7 career starts ? If he is a system QB however then that system is the same that we plan on running, the WCO.
yeah, just like washington runs the west coast. mcnabb worked out real well.
and i can't say with 100% certainty that he is a system qb. but given the eagles history of fleecing teams out of picks for washed up or crappy qb's masked by their offensive system which has been fine tuned for a decade, i don't think kolb is worth a 1st or 2nd round pick. i guess i wouldn't be pissed if we gave up a 3rd rounder cause the risk/reward is easier to swallow, but any team who gives up a 1st for him is f**king retarded.
i'm not sure why people are so infatuated with him. he has had one of the top 5 best sets of receivers, a pass happy coach and was able to sit for a couple years to learn the system. all that and he still wasn't really impressive
The Eagles also surrendered a s**t ton of sacks as the OL was in shambles. Kolb was sacked 15 times in 5 starts last year. He had a decent outing vs Washington, a slightly better one vs us the following week then a great one vs the Falcons before a not so hot performance vs Washington. Then coming out of the bye they went back to Vick, not exactly stability for a young QB or his confidence.
If you go back and watch Aaron Rodgers in his first year as a starter he didn't light the world on fire in those first few starts, nor did Carson Palmer who are 2 other QB's who had a chance to sit and learn (and both QB's were highly regarded compared to Kolb coming out of college).
Again he has a buzz across the league and not just from the media, but also other NFL teams who have legit interest, all of whom know more than we do. There is a reason why many teams are interested.
sounds like the same type of excuses alex smith gets here. we might as well keep alex smith if we're just going to give guys a pass over o-line, receivers, coaching or whatever.
erron rodgers sat behind a hall of famer and was in the same offensive system for a number of years. kolb will not have been in the same system. you are very naive if you think the eagles west coast is the 49ers west coast. maybe some of the terminology might be the same but this isn't madden football where you magically plug in a qb into any system and he is the same qb he was elsewhere.
as i said before no one is going to give up a 1st for him and if they do they're f**king stupid. this is why i hope the seachickens get him by trading their 1st!
AARON Rodgers sat behind Favre, Kolb sat behind McNabb (not a HoF'er but an All Pro QB). They both sat behind some very good QB's and had a chance to learn. And Rodgers first year in the league was with Mike Sherman not Mike McCarthy so 2 different playbooks.
Our offense will be somewhat similar yet somewhat different than the Eagles offense. We plan to be a more balanced attack, however both are West Coast versed, thus the concept is very similar. Going from one WCO to another WCO is not nearly the transition from going from a WCO to a Coryell offense.
You are very right this ISN'T Madden, you can't plug a QB in, regardless of whether he sat for a year or two and expect him to begin playing at a high level. He still has to gain in game experience....again Kolb has 7 career starts. 7. SEVEN.
SEVEN.
SEVEN.
