Philadelphia Eagle Quarterback Situation

A good performanceby Michael Vick in yesterdayswin againstDetroit

, haspresented Coach Andy Reid witha quarterback controversy whether he wants it ornot. Reid has alreadycame out and said that Kevin Kolb will bethe starting quaterback next week. I guess there is an unwritten NFL rule that an injured player should never lose his job by injury, which mostly goes unnoticed if the injured player plays a nonglamour position like offensive or defensive lines. But with quarterback being the most important and most scrutinized position on the team, that rule should not apply.New England coachBill Belichick wentagainst that unwritten rule and thatwon him3 Super Bowls, a AFCchampionship,countless playoff appearancesand genius status. Imagine what would have happened if he had given Drew Bledsoeback his job when he got injured in 2001 instead of letting Tom Brady play. Belichek might becoachinginhigh school, Brady might be winningSuper Bowls for the New York Jets(don'tJet fans wish)and Bledsoe might still bethe starting quarterback for the Patriots. Heaven forbid.

I understand we all have egos, especiallyNFLcoaches.Reid has been extremely successful during his tenure with the Eagles.(whether Eagles fans agree or not). Hedrafted Kevin Kolb, groomed him to be quarterback of the future, and tradedthefranchise quarterback, to a division rival no less, to make room for Kolb to play. I admitKolb playedwell limited play lastyear. But from what I seen inpreseason games andthe first half of the Green Bay game. His play has been less than average. He doesn't have "it." Having "it" is more than executing X's and O's in practice. It's making playsduring the games.

On the other hand,Vick has never looked better. His armstrength issecond to nonone, he doesn't have all his speed back, (which onlyhelps him, since hecan't depend on his legs)but he can still run away from most, and he has the athletic ability to improvise broken plays that no defensive scheme can account for. Under Reid's tutoring helooks more likea polished quarterback. He lookslike he's going through the normal quarterback progressions, instead ifjust taking off. His running ability also helps withthe running game, since players have to stay at home on bootlegs. He is a nightmare for defensivecoordinators to defend. To make matters worse, Vic is saying all the right things, "I'm just here to be the back- up", which getshim public sentiment.Vick body language is saying, "I can playgame."

Kolb was under pressurebefore, he got hurt,nowhe's under even more. Eaglefans havethewell earned reputation of booing for no reason. Remember theybooed McNabb when he was drafted. As soon as her Kolb throws a incomplete pass or even worse, throws a interception, they will be howling for Vic.(No pun intended)AsBoobieClarkonce said fromFriday Night Lights, themovie. "If you want to win, let Boobie spin". That's whatAndy Reid should do. Let Michael Vic spin.
