ANDY REID DOING THE QB SHUFFLE
The song goes something like this: “Kevin Kolb is our future, trade Donovan McNabb; Kolb is our quarterback, Vick is the back-up; Vick is the starter, only until Kolb come back; Kolb is the starter; Vick is the backup; Vick is the starter, Kolb is the backup.”
I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, we all know what we get with Michael Vick: a moron who has had troublesome past off the field but on the field, spectacular plays but nothing else. We all know that Vick can win some games, but he will never take you to the Superbowl. He’s good for a playoff birth and possibly 1 win but that’s it. It’s easy for teams to scheme against him because he’s one dimensional. And don’t come at me with he can throw now. For the love of god, they only beat the Detroit Lions, let’s see what he’ll do against the Jaguars this week.
On the other hand, I think it’s a great move benching Kolb. The kid never got a chance to prove himself. If the Eagles lose this week’s game against Jacksonville, the fans would’ve called for his head. Unless he played a perfect game, there was no way he was going to come out winning. And let’s be honest, the Jags are gonna beat the Eagles this week. Then I want to hear what the critics and the Vick lovers have to say. Until then, enjoy the honeymoon Mike, because you certainly DON’T deserve it. As for Coach Reid, you just lost your “future” quarterback’s trust.
