I hate to be so skeptical, but I'm just not sure what the Kolb-lovers have seen that I haven't, to the point where you think he's better than a borderline hall-of-fame QB that's aging but still putting up numbers that are close to Pro Bowl level.
Yeah, seriously. Fink is the man but I'm not sure what's in his head about this. I'll be happy if Kolb becomes an average starter, and I think that's a question mark.
I'm not a huge fan of the Brown/Gocong trade, but I don't think it's awful. Gocong sucks, so basically what we got was in return for Sheldon. I really thought we could have gotten more, but whatever. Sheldon was for sure getting replaced within the next two years anyway, and if we make the switch to Kolb, I don't think we are contending for a Super Bowl in that time frame anyway.
Meh, I didn't think losing Heckert would be a big deal at all, but the way the team has been run since he left has been disappointing. He's made some questionable trades, and the way the McNabb situation has been handled has been pretty poor no matter what side you're on. The front office never let this much go public with Heckert.
