The only thing I can think of is that Andy Reid is close to leaving, whether it be his choice or not and he sees Vick as his best chance to win. But surely his best chance to win was with McNabb?!?
Somethings gone on behind the scenes IMO for Kolb to be dropped so quickly!'"
Didn't Kolb get concussed for him to be pulled out and then Vick took over and has played superbly and therefore it's better to keep Vick in.

| Quote: RedTez "This summer they basically put the franchise in the hands of Kolb. Regardless of what Vick has done, he was the back up. If Philip Rivers went down after 2 quarters and Billy Volek came in and was amazing for one and a half games - 5 TDs, 650 yards, holding Norv's c**k whilst he had a p**s during the week, the lot - Rivers would walk straight back into the team. Why? Because he's the main man.
Same with A-Rod, Schaub, Favre, Stafford, McNabb, Sanchez, Romo, Ryan, Eli & Big Ben (I've left the big three out). You could probably say the same with Henne, Flacco, Smith & Freeman even though they are hardly solid number 1 starters yet.
Can you honestly see Kolb coming back from this? This is a massive blow for him and potentially leave the birds looking for a new franchise QB in a year or 2.'"
It's hard to disagree with anything you said. Getting rid of McNaab for Kolb is pretty similar to us getting rid of (well not taking back really) Favre in favour of A-Rod (obviously Favre and A-Rod are far better! ) so i understand the situation quite well.
I also agree with your list of guys that would walk straight back in generally, however i disagree on Henne and Smith but thats a different matter. The difference between those guys and Kolb is Kolb is a 2nd round pick who the Eagles aren't tied to financially for a long time. He signed a one year extension before the season (his deal was $4.2 million when he was drafted) for £12.25 million. He is hardly on the mega bucks and one year shows the Eagles still obviously aren't 100% sure on him.
Not only that there aren't many succesful 2nd round QB's drafted, after the first round it is difficult. The jury is out on Henne who was a second rounder but before that you have to go back to Schaub (3rd round in 2004), Breesus (2nd round in 2001) and even further back to Favre to find any decent QB's so expectation of Kolb shouldn't be that high. (Obviously there are other guys like Romo and Brady who have gone later and succeded but they are the exception rather than the rule)
He has started 3 games (including versus the Pack) and is 1-2-0. If Vick gives them the best chance to win (which IMO he does) then they should go with Vick.

He did yeah but Reid has said ever since that Kolb is his starting QB as soon as he is fit and he even named Kolb his starter on Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday morning but all of a sudden he changed his mind on Wednesday afternoon

| Kevin Faulk`s season and more than likely his career is over leaving us very thin at RB
I know most people(mainly non pats fans) wouldnt think he was a big loss but he was a great recieving RB for us especially on 3rd down and a great little special teams player.
We need another RB a.s.a.p IMO because theres no way we can go the rest of the season injury free, not really many good running backs about at the moment either
If he has stopped acting like a bell end I would try and bring in Larry Johnson personally.

Danny Woodhead!
Similar size to Faulk, has good hands (plays WR as well as RB) and ran something ridiculous like a 4.3 at his pro day.

In a week he might know enough to come in on some 3rd downs (apparently Morris has that job at the minute)
Brandon Jacobs is just a big Maroney now dancing behind the line wouldn't go near him at all. Michael Bush at Oakland keeps being made inactive is he injured or out of favour?

| Bush has had surgery on his thumb I think so they aren't sure exactly when he'll be returning.
Mike Bell of the Eagles is tipped to be on the way out pretty soon??

Jacobs would be great in your system and not having to be an every down back. Smashing linebackers for 4 years has taken it's toll on him, and with our more pass happy offense Bradshaw fit's the bill better,

| Good activity on the waiver wire for me.Vick available to highest bidder, looking for runningback help, the person trading for big ben could have got Vick for Moss.

| Made a couple of waiver and free agency pick-ups, for my bench/back-up mainly but pretty pleased with what I got.
No doubt that the 3 I've dumped will have stellar games this week now!
