So before I do my team and fantasy previews I wanted to talk about something that I have been hearing, especially after Friday night. I listen to 97.5 the fan almost everytime I am in the car and there is a lot of good content on there, however, there are many uneducated, idiots who feel the need to make those of us who listen dumber.
There have been a good deal of callers wanting Michael Vick to be the starter going into 2010. I even heard someone say the Eagles could win the super bowl with him and not Kolb. Seriously? Now I don't think Vick is a bad player but no chance he can get this team to the super bowl. He is not a fit for the west coast offense, nor is he what he used to be with the Falcons. Now I think he can certainly help the Eagles this year. He adds a nice dimension to an already elaborate skill set the Eagles have on offense, but Kolb gives the Eagles the best chance to win the big one.
Friday night I saw a great deal of positives that came from Kolb. He was accurate and hit receivers in stride. I also saw some growing pains. Threw into double coverage a few times but I will give him a pass. It was the first preseason game of the year. The biggest thing to look for is progression in the next couple games. Vick made some plays but he is not the ultimate answer for this team.
Eagles fans need to put this argument to rest. Unless he gets injured, Kolb is the starter and will be for years to come. Vick will play this year with the Eagles, and presumably move on after the season.
Anyone who thinks differently please enlighten me...I'll be more than happy to dispel your argument.
I'm going to take this one step further and proclaim that if you believe that Mike Vick should be the starter for the Eagles, you should not be allowed to watch an NFL game ever again. I'm not even going to waste my breath explaining why... you clearly are too stupid understand.
