Please let this happen.
Why do you want this to happen? Why would you want the only team in the West that we were better than last year to improve?
Kevin Kolb is a legit QB. He will make that team a NFCW contender again. And we will be stuck with the worst QB in the NFCW.
Please DO NOT let this happen!
People on this forum just don't get it. Kolb is in high demand for a reason. But hey, the posters here on 49erswebzone.com have reviewed his QB rating and decided that Alex Smith is a better QB, which is horrible news for Kevin Kolb because Alex Smith sucks.
The guy is going to be a good QB. I don't want him in the NFC West - on any team. You can find reasons to hate on him if that's what makes you feel better, but there's a reason Philly's asking price is so damn high and a reason teams are actually considering giving them what they want.
Put it like this, I haven't heard any rumblings about any team eying Alex Smith (yes, I know they can't come out and say anything yet because of the lockout, but we've all heard the rumblings about Kolb and Palmer to SF, so...). Since Alex's QB rating is better, why do you think teams want Kolb, but have shown no interest in Alex? Oh that's riiiiiight, I forgot, you can't judge everything on stats alone. Alex's checkdowns and refusal to take risks makes his QB rating look better than he actually is.
Kolb >>>>>> Alex and it isn't close. The reason I bring this up is because the QB rating suggests otherwise, but you can't rely on that alone. Kevin Kolb will be legit, and acting like you want him on a team we'll see twice a year and have to compete for the division with is ridiculous.
