Kolb Reiterates He Wants Go Somewhere Else To Start

Eagles backup quarterback Kevin Kolb is in Dallas this week and he’s doing in with the media.  The former Houston Cougar made it clear again that he wants to be a starter this year.  He doesn’t think he’ll have a chance to start here because of the way Michael Vick played, so he’d rather go somewhere else and start rather than stay here and sit.

“My big deal is I just want to start somewhere,” Kolb said during an interview on the Dan Patrick radio show this morning. “I feel like I’m ready and have confidence that I can do a good job.”

Kolb could wind up spending another year here in Philadelphia because of the unsigned  CBA and the approaching March 4th work stoppage date.

I know this sounds crazy, but this is from one of my Sources who is somewhat close to
Jerry Jones down in Dallas… but an unbelievable trade alert that has lots of teams and unhappy
QB’s moving around the NFL…

Cowboys Trade QB T Romo to the Chicago Bears for J Cutler and a #2 Pick
The Cowboys then trade QB J Cutler and that #2 Pick to the Tenn Titans for QB Vince Young
The Cincinnati Benglas trade QB C Palmer to the San Fran 49ers for their 2nd and 4th Rd Picks
The Washington Redskins trade D McNabb to the Arizona Cardinals for a 3rd and 5th Rd picks
The Washington Redskins then trade those 3rd & 5th Round Picks along with DT Albert Haynesworth
to the Philadelphia Eagles for QB K Kolb making everyone happy…

Remember, you heard it here first…

As I mentioned on another thread, there’s a great review of all of Kolb’s performances over on Bleeding Green Nation. Including video of every one of his throws from several games.

Oh Well….Eagles trade Kolb and in 2013 will be looking to use their #1 pick on a new Qb as to everyone’s suprise, Vick will have missed 8 games over the 2011-12 seasons, and the Birds will be 0-1 in playoff games over that same time period.

ok, this isn’t really a big deal. Kolb deserves to start and should be traded somewhere in order to start. He has proven himself at the NFL level and teams are going to be willing to trade for him. My dream is:

49ers and Eagles Swap 1st round picks and 49ers give Eagles their 3rd round or 2nd Rounder for Kolb.

I know Kolb will more than likely go to Cleveland to reunite with Tom Heckert, and Pat Shurmur. They loved KK.

What I would like to see happen is to send Kevin to Tennessee for Vince Young, and like a 2nd rounder. That would be beautiful.

I never understood the deserved thing. He’s a back up qb. He’s been the 3rd best qb on pur team until this year and then he was the 2nd best. If he showed anything in the preseason we never would have grabbed vick.
This guy should have had to earn the starting spot and he did not. He had his chance, I’m not trying to be mean I’m just saying… Why aren’t we talking about the back up FB position like this?

There’s nothing to see here.

If Kolb needs a ride I’ll drive him to the airport.

He was a waste of a draft pick and was the mistake this team made that set the Eagles back a few years. They could have had aproductive weapon immediately instead of this bum rottening on the bench.

To laughindumonde,

Wouldn’t you want Vikings QB Joe Webb insteasd of Tavaris Jackson in return,
Webb is undefeated playing at the “Linc” (1-0) while Vick was 3-3 last year at Home
and Kolb was 1-2 at the “Linc” last year

This might sound crazy but…

Cowboys Trade QB T Romo to the Chicago Bears for J Cutler and a #2 Pick
The Cowboys then trade QB J Cutler and that #2 Pick to the Tenn Titans for QB Vince Young
The Cincinnati Benglas trade QB C Palmer to the San Fran 49ers for their 2nd and 4th Rd Picks
The Washington Redskins trade D McNabb to the Arizona Cardinals for a 3rd and 5th Rd picks
The Washington Redskins trade those picks to New England for a 2nd rounder
Then New England trades those picks for 2nd and 4th rounder
Then the Redskins see this and apparently trade those picks for the original 2nd and 4th rounders back to New England
Thus resulting in a complete shift which ends up trading those picks back to Arizona
And back to Cincinnati and who trades back Vince Young
And the Bears getting back Cutler
back to Dallas for Romo
Which results in everyone getting back there original picks and everyone becomes happy.

Remember you heard it here first, now if you’ll excuse me I have to get ready for work as an oracle.

I really see the 49ers making a run at Kolb…he fits the Harbaugh system of run to setup the pass. Harbaugh needs to make an impact and Alex Smith is awful! Kolb would compliment them well and give them a franchise QB to build around. The 49ers have the parts and a very good, young OL. It will take a 2nd round pick to get the deal done. Kolb would thrive in Harbaugh’s system that relies on pounding the ball to setup the play action pass…perfect system for Kevin..

Kolb may go to SF (if there is a new CBA), but it will cost alot more than a #2! This is a weak draft and there will be more 1st and 2nd round bust than normal.

Why is that safe to say dag? That’s pure speculation.

What isn’t speculation is that Vick has been hurt every year he’s been in the nfl. (asave the one exception that proves the rule) So would Vick missing games the next two years be so much of a surprise? Mini-man constantly trying to run through entire defenses play after play. Long term recipe for success that is not.

Why you guys so ga-ga over a QB that you KNOW is going to miss 3 games next year (min). In comes Kafka, or some other scrub. So you willing to automatically hand the Birds 2 losses the next two years? ‘Cause that’s going to happen with Vick at QB.

What’s this?

Broken ribs, sbruised quad, another bruised quad, groin, shoulder, ribs again, knee, hammy, other shoulder, ankle, leg, hand, back to right shoulder again, back……

List of all injuries Vick has that forced hom to miss over his career. (imagine if he had actually played the other 2 years, there wouldn’t be enough space to write down all the broken body parts)

Great idea for the Birds to hitch their wagon to a busted up mini-man who still can’t read defence. Hey, what happened to the careers of Air McNair, McNabb and Culpepper when their injury lists got this long?

The whole Kevin Kolb saga has been like some kind of inside joke I dont get… The media and some of the fans baby this guy to the nth degree and for what? What has ever done or proved to be thought of so highly? If he believes he is a starter, thats fine by me. Let him go out and find himself a starting job on another team. But the idea that he ‘deserves’ to start is stupid.. He’ll deserve a starting job when he earns one and is able to hold it. This air of entitlement is ridiculous.. The media put that idea out there that something unfair had happened to him or that Reid and Vick had robbed him of something that was rightfully his. It’s BS. From what I have seen of him? the word MEDIOCRE comes to mind.. either that or the word “eh”. He looks like your average everyday system Qb who needs everything around him to function at an optimum level or he will struggle…

I wish him luck on another team though… Hope we get something good for hi

Rasheed,

Why do you baby Vick? Aside from 4 games this year, his career has been glaringly mediocre. Inaccurate. Fumbles. He still can’t handle the most fundamental of QB duties (reading a D) and he’s injury prone. You saw all this over the last 6 games of the season, yet you remain intoxicated by the performances against terrible Detroit, pathetic Jax, lay down Wsh and injured Indy…

Bid he has a big arm and is fast, so I guess that makes it all good.

Look Vinnie… you seem butthurt about the fact that Kolb isnt going to be a starter here. I have nothing against Kolb. He simply hasnt shown himself to be very good. He isnt better than Mike Vick, so Vick stays and Kolb needs to go find another team to play on if he truly believes he is entitled to start. If Kolb had proved himself to be a better Qb than Vick? this wouldnt be an issue.

It just funny to me to see this indignant attitude from Rich Hoffman’s and the Vinnie’s of the world.. As though the rest of the fanbase cant recognize a bum when we see one…

The Eagles are a 9-7 Team next year in 2011 at best and will miss the playoffs anyways
like 2010, they will have a shaky home recrod and actually play better on the road

Wins (8) — 49ers,Cardinals at home Seahawks Rams,Buffalo,on the road and a season split will their NFC East opponents Redskins,Giants and Cowboys

Losses (8) – Patriots,Jets,Bears at home, Dolphins & Falcons on the Road and a loss each to the Redskins,Giants & Cowboys

If they get a break and maybe beat the Bears at Home, Maybe sweep the Redskins and maybe beat the Dolphins on the Road, they can win 10-11 games. But winning at Seattle and ST Rams is not a given and the EAgles typicalyl play crappy when goign out west.. So 8-9 Wins is probably about it
and this is with Vick at the helm…

Rasheed…clearly this Vinnie guy is a MENTAL MIDGET!..lmao….”Aside from 4 games this year”….lmao! This guys was runner up for NFL Offensive player of the Year!…Are you dumb or just stupid Vinnie?? Somethings you can have opinions on, but some things are FACTS and cant be disputed. KOLB IS NOT BETTER THAN VICK! That was proven on the feild of play, not on a sports blog.
It was proven by coaches film, and down and distance, and big plays, not by an idiot behind a keyboard.
I wont say Kolb is a bum, but he’s not close to Vick..hell, he’s not close to Sam Bradford, or Josh Freeman either!

Go to bleeding green nation and watch for yourself West-Philly. And realize those are his first 6 starts. Has there ever been a QB to get 2 player of the week honours in their first 6 starts? Has there ever been a QB to throw for over 300 in his first 2 starts? What other QB do you know went 3-3 over his first 6 starts and looked very good in 3 of them (KC, SF, ATL?)

Look closely at the film and notice that almost every pass pattern involves 4 or 5 guys running routes. Now head over to NFL network and watch the playbook film of Vick. Suddenly only 2 sometimes 3 guys in the patterns. Why is that? Can Vick not handle so many reads?

Besides I’m not as pro-Kolb as I am anti-Vick.

Philly.Songs and Drummer…You’re the guy rolling with the heavy beer goggles who picks up chicks you mistakenly think are hot. (Ist 4 games) then you wake up in the morning and realize she has some pretty obvious warts (last 6 games) but continue to ignore them ’cause you’ve got too much pride to admit your mistake and get laughed at by your buds. And you can justify sticking with her because she occasionally puts on some make-up and when you hang out at dimly lit restaurants she kinda looks good again. Besides, she’s really fun to watch when she’s acting all crazy (one read and run) and so you tolerate the imperfections that are slowly becoming more and more obvious. And hey, she occasionally gives good skull (giants game) and so you close your eyes and pretend that maybe, just maybe she’s good enough.

Unfortunately, before you know it, those warts are drawing some attention and other people begin noticing them (opposing D co-ordinators, KC Joyner, Football outsiders). Before you know it you’re going to be scratching your heads wonder…WTF was I thinking???

I dated that girl in 1985. I was young and foolish too. She suckered me in for almost a decade. Took a while to realize that that girl just wsn’t good enough. And even when when I saw her again with another guy in ’98. I wasn’t tempted, despite the fact that she had a good deal of surgery and was “different” In the end she was still the same.

You enjoy your sloppy seconds with your new girl, and realize that despite her makeover, she’s the same chick that Falcon Fan dated years ago. I don’t think they’re too upset they upgraded.

I aint mad at Kolb for wanting to start….. just not here, that’s all… Just not here. We got bigger things to worry about. We have a probowler starting at Qb and he still might have even more potential if Reid and the co. can put something together where we balance the offense a bit better..

We got holes on D that need to be filled.. D line, linebacker, D-back every level needs work.

if another team wants to give us something good for the guy? Im all for that.. but we cant have this guy starting here when have a guy who is definitely better and looking to improve even more

Kolbs out of here without ever starting a single full season. Guess Andy wasent lying.

I dont give a fck about Bleeding Green dot com!!!! They dont watch coaches tape, they dont play on sundays, they arent even in the NLF!!!…They are the same as you, a idiot FAN of a guy who has never proven anything! The reason they had fever people in pass patterns IDIOT, if had been paying attention all year to your team, is by design so they can maximize protection and take shots down feild to utilize Vicks big arm. For Kolb, he DOESNT have downfeild capabilities, so the coaching staff taylored the game plan for his strengths. You are a dunce, and i mean that with all due respect.
Freeman=better than Kolb
Bradford=better than Kolb
Flacco=better than Kolb
Ryan=better than Kolb
Casell=better than Kolb

@ PW..I dont think he is a bum, i just think he is still unproven, and i think those guys are proven and have better physical tools. All that “Kolb will make the offensive line better” i KNEW that was crap! How??? How can he make the O Line block better?? We saw in the first game how much, when he got bulldogged into the grass because he didnt have the physical tools to escape. I think with time and the right system he can be good, but he is not “Great”, he just doesnt have the god given tools for that. I think if we get that 2nd rounder we spent on him back., perfect. I think Kolb would be good in San Fran, where they have weapons that he needs, and a running game.
