Trust me on this.. Kolb wont be a starter in 3 yrs!! I have no action on today's game just stating 100% facts here. Eagles got a steal getting rid of this clown, I feel for Cardinal fans..

Kolb and Newton both won't be starters in a few years. The jury is still out on Newton, but I've seen Kolb enough to know that he isn't a starter. These two looked good because they were facing crap defenses.

Whisenhunt doesn't see much beyond the fact that he was needing a QB and reached for one to make the fans happy. Philly has an offense tailor-made for a QB to put up stats and the guy threw 14 interceptions to 11 touchdowns. Now that he has less talent around him, the lack of pedigree will become apparent. PS, referencing an NFL front office is useless in this discussion... Ryan Leaf... Tim Couch... Andre Ware.. Rick Mirer... Heath Shuler... Akili Smith... the "experts" are just as clueless as any of us.

i dont buy that argument about newton. no rookie i can remember had a debut as solid as that.

this is the nfl and this was newtons first start, nobody would've expected those numbers, even vs. arizona.

he may not pan out, but who knows. i dont deal in absolutes, so im not going to pretend to know the future.

was a great debut though.

Arizona was 4th to last in yards allowed last season. Newton is going to screw up time and time again when pressured by a decent defense IMO. Wait and see.

It's all about the marketing. Kolb kept a good working relationship with the coaching staff and owners in Philly when Vick beat him out last year. He didn't throw a fit, he wasn't a pain in the ass to the Eagles. I'm sure, at some point, they came to him and basically said, "Vick's our guy, but if you work as a back-up, we'll do everything we can to get you a starting job next year somewhere." He played ball, Andy Reid toots his horn, his agent does his job, and he's the most sought-after free agent QB in the league. The Eagles win and so does Kolb.

What about Vince Young? We can all answer that one. What about Orton? He wasn't ever pushed to a back-up position. What about McNabb? He's old.

Kolb's not the best of these guys, he was the one best sold.

Cam Newton has 13 touchdowns on the season. You are not including his rushing touchdowns for some reason altho they are a big part of his game. So its actually 18 touchdowns for the two of them. Not sure if you intentionally left out the rushing touchdowns or a mistake, but if you count Newtons fumbles, you got to count his rushing TDs
