I live in Houston and I followed Kolb his entire college career. Kolb has the potential to be a Pro Bowl type QB. I would imagine the drum will start beating for Kolb to start at QB if the Eagles play too many more games like they did tonight.

Definitely. IMO, they should've put him in late earlier tonight. What do you have to gain with McNabb still playing in a game that is so obviously over? He's still the guy is Philly and probably should be next year too. He's not as good as he once was, but he's decent and thus you give Kolb some time to ride the bench and master the play-book, as well as give him two years of coaching and NFL conditioning. Really no need to rush him along, but he will benefit from seeing some time whenever possible.

I live in Philly and I agree with you. They've got nothing to lose. Looking at their schedule they might win against Miami, Washington, and New Orleans but I don't see them winning the rematches against New York and Dallas, and they got the Patriots next week. Buffalo and Seattle aren't slouches either.
The problem will be the stubborness that rules the entire organization. Under previous owners (Braman, Tose) the team might have responded to the fans and press to replace the QB but I don't get that feeling about this crew.
KK will need some reps late in a game once the Birds are mathematically eliminated and gradually get more time as he learns and improves. But putting him in against the Pats would probably do more harm than good.
I say give the new guy a shot, and just as I was typing this, a fan e-mailed the Eagles post game show saying that Kolb deserves a shot. Even Governor Rendell feels the same.

In in the present day's NFL, it isn't any longer a nasty theory to have a experienced decrease back up quarterback, enormously once you think approximately the incontrovertible fact that as quickly as maximum communities lose their QB that an incredible variety of the time there season is over. The Eagles have been clever for what they did, look what having a sturdy backup did for them final year with Jeff Garcia, he stored their season, plus they are going to be coming up a QB for whilst McNabb gets old, or if Kolb shows expertise they'd additionally commerce him the way the Falcons traded Schaub.

Nope, not yet. McNabb is still the man at QB for Philly...... for now.
