I would have thought Troy Smith to be a lot smaller than Mike Vick, same size, uh
is he? same size?
T. Smith 6-0 217
M. Vick 6-0 215
Its not the size of the dog its the bite.
oh wait...........
Vick looked mighty dam good yesterday. I would't doubt if Kob is on the trading block this off season. If T.Smith doesn't work out, maybe we go that route?
I highly doubt Philly trade Kolb. For one thing, where would they be now if the had not had him while Vick was hurt?
Every team in the league that wants to make a serious playoff run needs to have at LEAST a competent game manager as the backup. In a league that has over a dozen "game managers" STARTING, I don't see any teams willing to part with a solid QB.
As to trading for Kolb; you can be certain it would take a starter in exchange. Who are you willing to give up that Philly needs?
I don't think it would take a starter just a high draft pick.
By "high," what do you mean? How high? A first? Second?
Kolb was the #36 pick overall and has a career QB rating of 82, which is just about in the middle of current starting QBs in the league.
Probably a 2nd round pick dude. Don't forget that Kolb has a decent sized extension on his contract and if they pay Vick they're not going to want all that money invested in the QB position, as well as him not wanting to stick around for his whole career and be a back up. If they keep Vick Kolb will be gone.
I agree it would take at least a 2nd.
I disagree over Philly wanting to dump salary money at the QB slot. As I said earlier, if the Eagles had not had Kolb while Vick was injured, they would have lost the season. Teams need two QBs that are capable of winning games.
All this points to how important it is that Troy turn out to be a right-handed Steve Young. If they have to invest a 2nd in another QB, it means another high priority needs goes unfilled.
