They(the organization) OBVIOUSLY are very high on Kolb. He was their first pick in the 2007 draft, so it was only a matter of time before he either saw the field or wsa traded. The brass knew that this day was coming since the DAY they drafted KK- and they capitalized (hopefully) on trading 5 as opposed to letting him walk for nothing next year.
There's no bigger fan of Mcnabb out there than me. But if the price you get in return is right, and you feel you have a plan B that can step in there and do just as good a job- you strike while the iron is hot.
Kolb might not be able to evade defenders and shrug off first contact like McNabb, but he sure as hell throws a more catchable ball. and I don't even want to pull out that meaningless first two games to start a career stat out.

What the hell are you getting so excited about? Whether or not it was a smart business move isn't my point. Eagle fans have been hating McNabb off and on and crying for his replacement for years. There wasn't a more popular backup QB in football than Kevin Kolb the last three years, despite the fact that he threw all of 34 passes in his first two seasons (with 0 TD's and 4 INT's to boot).
