Michael Vick just been announced as the starter in Philly. Big, dumb decision by Reid for me. He's dropped Kolb after 10 pass attempts. This is the same Kevin Kolb they backed when trading McNabb to the skins. Reid now looks an idiot.

This is the same Kolb that he was still backing last night! Whats happened there then? At least let him lose his position next week.

Hes only done it because I have Kolb in one of my teams the fat `tasche faced fooker

Seriously though I was thinking maybe Kolb is still suffering from a concussion but surely he would have just come out and said it!!

If Vick is gonna be the full time starter for the rest of the season they may aswell trade away DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin because they wont be needing them anymore now that the glorified RB is playing

I hope Alex Smiths performance is him turning the corner. He's has a load of stick, but I'd love to see him become a legit number 1 qb in the NFL.

He'll never be a legit number 1 in the NFL, he may just play well enough to get himself away from being labelled as one of the worst number 1 picks ever. (Mind you that is JaMarcus Russell).

I despise Vick but he was very good against us and nearly led a comeback. Clay (by the way he's on course for 48 sacks!) was all over Kolb like a rash yet Vick was able to evade the rush and get downfield. Whether that is because we didn't gameplan for Vick (probably) or because he provides something you can't defend i'm not sure.

He is a decent enough passer but not accurate enough, hence he has to break out of the pocket and run. I think he's actually a better bet for now behind the Philly line than Kolb is and given Kolb only has 3 starts he hardly deserves to walk straight back into the team when the guy in his place is winning.

This summer they basically put the franchise in the hands of Kolb. Regardless of what Vick has done, he was the back up. If Philip Rivers went down after 2 quarters and Billy Volek came in and was amazing for one and a half games - 5 TDs, 650 yards, holding Norv's c**k whilst he had a p**s during the week, the lot - Rivers would walk straight back into the team. Why? Because he's the main man.

Same with A-Rod, Schaub, Favre, Stafford, McNabb, Sanchez, Romo, Ryan, Eli & Big Ben (I've left the big three out). You could probably say the same with Henne, Flacco, Smith & Freeman even though they are hardly solid number 1 starters yet.

Can you honestly see Kolb coming back from this? This is a massive blow for him and potentially leave the birds looking for a new franchise QB in a year or 2.

I agree with all you have wrote TBH.

The only thing I can think of is that Andy Reid is close to leaving, whether it be his choice or not and he sees Vick as his best chance to win. But surely his best chance to win was with McNabb?!?

Somethings gone on behind the scenes IMO for Kolb to be dropped so quickly!

Didn't Kolb get concussed for him to be pulled out and then Vick took over and has played superbly and therefore it's better to keep Vick in.
