The Eagles' coordinators spoke to reporters today in their first news conferences since the draft, two days into the first minicamp of 2010. It was the best chance reporters have had to speak at length with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg in the nearly four weeks since Donovan McNabb was traded and Kevin Kolb took over the Birds' offense. "I've done it before, from Steve (Young, in San Francisco), to Jeff (Garcia)," Mornhinweg said. "They're all different, both on and off the field ... as a coach, you're a teacher. You teach, you correct. We will be different. Donovan was such a great player, and he had many, many strengths, has many, many strengths. However, they're different from Kevin's ... You lean toward a player's strengths. Donovan, there's no question he had one of the stronger arms, maybe of all time. There's no question he could make the brilliant play. Kolb is very, very consistent. He handles (being given) two or three different play selections very, very well. Typically, very accurate. He's athletic, but he doesn't have the athleticism that Donovan has." Mornhinweg said Kolb "handles things pretty natural. I think the guys rally around him a little bit, because of his personality ... There is great responsibility on this quarterback. I thinke he will handle that beautifully."

If the Philly fans BOOOED Mcnabb it wont be to long before we start hearing the Philly fans chanting " WE WANT VICK," " WE WANT VICK " **********Automerged Doublepost********** Kolb wont last the entire season before he is benched
Kolb is a Quarterback. Why would they replace a Quarterback with Michael Vick? **********Automerged Doublepost********** Also, I'd start Mike Kafka at QB before Dog Killer. Kafka can throw in a straight line.
Vick has the experience and leadership to take the Eagles far. Kolb hasn't done anything he played 2 games last year.. Chiefs and Saints.... ok, so what... now im gonna expect him to lead the Eagles.. I dont think so. Although it is "fair" to give Kolb this chance because he has waited a long time for it. Vick is the future
Elaborate on how the Eagles will win with Vick in an NFL where QB's are throwing the ball 550 times. If Vick throws 550 times, the Eagles are 2-14 Vick as a QB is nothing more than a relic of a failed league wide experiment....... The Running QB **********Automerged Doublepost********** Lay Down Little Boy
Gonna be alot less deep balls kolbs arm is alot weaker but the shorter throws will be more acurate. The only thing kolb has to work on is cutting down his interceptions.
