I think 0-3 is probably pretty unlikely, but I'll reserve comment until I see the schedule. But yeah if they were to go 0-3, they'd be looking at Kolb's direction for sure. Still, we have pretty much the same young core on O as we did last year so I'm not too worried. I wouldn't want Culpepper in there to teach Kolb how to throw for sure. It'd just be nice to have a seasoned vet on the sideline to breakdown a situation once he comes off the field. I don't think he really had that with McNabb, and Vick comes from a different style of play (if your primary is covered, run your ass off ). As much as I hate to say it, this will likely be a rough year for the Eagles. In my mind, the jury is still out on McCoy and his game, but I like the pick-up of Mike Bell. I saw a few "flashes of brilliance" out of Bell last year. I had Pierre Thomas on my fantasy team and was ready to get some big points out of him when Reggie Bush went down. I watched Bell eat up all of my would-be fantasy points. He's quite a fine back-up. That said, Jackson, Maclin, and Celek all had a big year last year. I don't see too much of a reason for them to slip much this year, even with Kolb at the helm. If the Eagles brass manages to keep this core group together for a couple years, they'll be a force to be reckoned with. I sure hope it happens sooner than later though.

Don't get used to it. It's still Kolb's job to lose. But if I have to choose a backup QB out of any of the backup QB's in the NFL, I'll go with Vick every single time.
I don't expect to see Vick on the bench in Philly next year. He'll be starting in Oakland, Buffalo or Cleveland.

Haha! I've been gone for a while huh? This still baffles me (even knowing how well Vick has played). At the time that decision was made, no one could have known that he'd end up looking ~this~ good. I still stand by my theory that the Eagles' brass forced Reid to make that decision to sell a few extra tickets.
Oh the drama of it all. ;D
