    yeah, Kolb was drafted in the second round. A guy drafted that high is pretty much expected to produce.

    He's looked good. over 300 yards passing in each of his first two starts.

    Did a good job beating up on my Chiefs :( but... that's expected.

    against the Ravens two years ago, he drove them all the way down the field against a tough defense (something McNabb was unable to do), and unfortunately threw the pick in the endzone. But you can't really fault him for that. Having a backup QB come in at half time and light up one of the best defenses in the league is unheard of.

    He also did really well the first half of the saints game... They were down 3 or 7, I forget which, but then he throws a pick 6 his first posession of the second half and it goes into typical "oh fuck we're down pass pass pass pass mode" which is never a good thing.

    Not saying he's the second coming, but he's done pretty well in limited opportunities, and non/former Eagles coaching staff people have said great things about him.

    They only call the long-pass wackier style when McNabb is back there because he demands it and Reid thinks he can do too much.

    Well there's also the fact that McNabb has one of the NFL's stronger arms.

    He's got a gun, top 5 in the NFL no doubt. But his touch just isn't good enough; he could run to make up for it earlier in his career but it's pretty glaring now.

    Let's not make the mistake of lauding a QB just because he's an early round pick. There's also the concern (as is true with Moore) that when he has to play an entire season and is actually planned for it could be a different story.

    Also: Fucking call run plays with McNabb in. I standby the fact that the only reason the Vick TD pass happened again Dallas was that it was the only convincing play-action in the entire game.

    Well you are never gonna know how good he is until you play him.

    I think the Eagles have gone as far as they can with McNabb.

    McNabb's getting there. He's learning. For instance, he's well aware that games can end in a tie.

    I got a good laugh out of the first topic in this article. The second story is interesting because it looks like the league is seriously considering tweaking the sudden death overtime:

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/02/28/combine/index.html?eref=sihp
    I smell a nice rivalry cooking.

    On Friday night, the Saints' staff at the combine gathered in a private room at St. Elmo Steakhouse, an 108-year-old Indy landmark, for a final celebratory nod to the Super Bowl win over the Colts. This is a group that likes its wine, and likes to have fun.

    At the restaurant, word passed that Dallas owner Jerry Jones would have his Dallas group in this exact room Saturday night for a team dinner. Jones had even phoned ahead, according to a waiter, to make sure a magnum of a wine he loved, Caymus Special Selection cabernet sauvignon, was ready to be served at dinner.

    Sean Payton told the waiter he'd like to have that wine, too. The waiter told him: Sorry, sir. We have only one bottle left, and it's reserved for Mr. Jones.

    Payton said he'd like to have the bottle nonetheless. I assume there was much angst on the part of the wait staff at that point. My God! Who do we piss off? One of the most powerful owners in the NFL, or the coach who's the toast of the NFL, the coach who just won the Super Bowl?

    Here came the bottle of Caymus Special Selection, and the Saints' party drained it.

    But drinking Jones' wine wasn't enough. Payton gave the waiter some instructions, took out his pen ... and, well, the Cowboys party found at the middle of their table the next evening an empty magnum of Caymus Special Selection cabernet sauvignon, with these words hand-written on the fancy label:

    WHO DAT!
    World Champions XLIV
    Sean Payton

    That's the kind of thing Jones will get a big laugh out of. And remember.

    I don't. My junior year I ran track to try and improve my 40-time for the following Fall season. I ran an exhibition 100m against the starting running back from Glenville. Glenville High is a perennial state contender in football and where Troy Smith and Teddy Ginn Jr. hail from.

    I think I lost by like 3 full seconds.

    They care plenty they just also expect them to lose. Just like Cleveland with the Browns. When the Indians lose people stop caring but with the Browns win or lose their fans always care.
