McNabb had a stronger arm and could throw deep balls that were reasonably accurate that Kolb will never be able to do. My prediction is that the worm burners will go away and you'll never see a ball thrown "too hard" that bounces off the receiver's hands. I hope Kolb is as fierce a competitor as McNabb. Not sure if I want him to be as good of an improvisor. McNabb would try to make a play happened until he died. Sometimes it worked, sometimes he got bit.

I really think Kevin Kolb is going to light it up.

This is KOlb's first year as a starter and you have to be prepared for a lot of growing pains (see Rodgers, Aaron). I do think he is better suited for the West Coast offense than McNabb, but there is no way he throws as few interceptions as McNabb. McNabb is the career leader in low interception percentage, although after he plays us twice, I hope Neil O'Donnell gets his record back.
Kolb will get picked a ton this year. He will also throgh for over 3,000 yards and 4,000 is not out of the question as others have posted. He is a talent with a lot of potential, but it will take a year to get there.
My guess at this point is 8-8 for this year, but by next year expect a big leap and 10-6 or better is where I think we will be.
Happy 4th everyone

Actually the final report on the whole thing said that the fire raged out of control because John Africa had poured gallons and gallons of gasoline on the roof to get the exact effect that happened. The bomb was designed to take out the structure that MOVE was using as a sniper perch but obviously MOVE had anticipated things better than Goode had. His problem was with the idea of using an explosive without being able to really control things once they dropped it. All in all, it was a terrible idea and capped a horrible month.

Agree with a lot of the sentiment, the offense will look different under Kolb, and I'm hoping that he turns out to be the Eagles' version of Aaron Rodgers. Heck, IIRC Rodgers had a productive season when he first started, and he wasn't the reason that the Pack had a bad season that year.
