Kolb has a lot of guaranteed money. I don't see them dumping him this season for any reason. I think the bet the bank on him.Quote:

But I also think he was an insurance policy, in case Kolb did not develop the way they wanted. Whether you, I or anyone else think he is or will be any good is irrelevant, the team and Reid in paricular is very high on him. So, with 3 Qb's all on the final year of their respective contracts, they extend Kolb. I think age has a lot to do with it due to the fact the average age of the team is like 24 or 25.Quote:

Thats gonna make a lot of fantasy owners happy. Vick is like a fantasy dream.
As it should've been before the year began. Vick is crazy good, and I don't even like the guy. Most QBs don't even reach their peak until their 30s and Vick is just getting there.Quote:

He can also work on developing his pocket qb skills as he sees his speed decline in the future.
I really like watching Vick though, as expected his games are usually exciting
Funny how this all played out. I don't like the giants playing vick 2 times a year, I remember when they played him 4 yrs ago or so when he was a falcon, they did a good job containing him. So I'll hang my hat on that

I heard a few radio sports guys from Atlanta saying, from a passing perspective, that the last 2 games where the best he has ever looked. Now it could all come crashing down, and I expect it too, but maybe he now has "got it"? The next few weeks could be interesting either way. If he sucks it up...now Reid has to switch back to Kolb. If not, who knows, the offense certainly has a ton of talent.
LOL....I remember watching the last Vick/Giants game. Not sure who but I think it was Roddy White dropped like 2 50+ yard bombs right in the endzone that where absolutely perfect passes.Quote:

Although Mark Sanchez is impressive this year again as well.
yep Vick looking very good. Im still upset my 49ers didnt really consider signing him when he was willing to go anywhere.
That was ridiculous with Seabass missing those kicks, but I only blame him for 2 of the misses, one was a 58 yard attempt, so that a very low percentage kick anyway...even though he had plenty of leg it missed wide right.Quote:

The also probably could have traded for him this offseason.Quote:

...One can dream, can't one?
Plus the Cowboys suck, which is always a plus. As an Eagles fan I root against all the NFCE yeams, but I do not hate the Giants, I respect them for having a pretty well run football team. I don't hate the Redskins either. But I LOVE when the Cowboys suck. They are horrible and its just great.
They should trade Kolb but sadly I doubt anyone would take him. The Raiders would destroy Vick like they destroy every other good player.Quote:

Consider that one of Kolbs starts he was injured in the second quarter, and the other against the 49ers he threw for 250 yards and played very well also.
