Left guard for the Jets....

Had to go back to May 18, 2009 to find a post you made about horse racing. Old Baltimore? You mean the team that won the Super Bowl in 2001? I'll take that, thanks.

Eagles regular season record looked much better than what they actually were last year.

It was very evident the 3 times we played the Cowgirls. We were not a very good football team last year. And this year we are even younger.

I agree Kolb might have growing pains, and even cost us a game. I'm perfectly fine "growing" this season.. though I do still expect us to be a playoff contender. I'm really excited about Kolb and his future and not going to miss McNabb even if we go 7-9.

We werent going to win the Superbowl this year with #4 or #5. we are too young and are O-line is really suspect. I'm hoping I can eat these words, but I have realistic expectations.

But the O-line is easily the weakest link on the team. And if Kolb gets hit hard every time he drops back to pass, he will REALLY struggle (and so would anyone). I have 100 times more confidence in Kolb than the O-line. Stacy Andrews is garbage. He should join his brother on the Giants.

If Eagles fans use the 2010 season as a base to "missing McNabb".. than Eagles fans are even dumber than what you all already think of us.

It would be like Packers fans using 2008 to judge Rodgers and missing Farve.

And whoever questioned whether the Jets have enough RB talent to run the ball, well, this is why it's impossible for me to take DT football conversations seriously.

The last thing any Patriot 'fan' should be clowning on someone else about is their LG. With Logan Mankins' holdout and the injury to Nick Kaczur, you're down to your third-string at that spot. But I wouldn't expect DrugS to have any idea what I'm talking about.

Dont worry... Pats are going to move a blocking TE to that position

(yes, I am a huge fan of said blocking TE though)

After that week you will be hearing jets fans crying about how the offense sucks and pay reavis his money! This just in the jets have missed the runway and crashed and burned. LOL

anyone who uses the preseason to predict the regular season is an absolute moron. Preseason is a joke. The only thing that matters in Preseason is not having big injuries and figuring out who your last 3 people on the team will be.

You, nebrady, are a moron.

[nebrady]

Not basing it on preseason. Its been 2 years since brady's injury and yeah your right preseason is about staying healthy. Regular season is about winning and I know the pats will be doing that, your eagles after the pack rips them up in first week, will be thinking why did we get rid of mcnabb? Stupid I don't need to post on horses just like to read your witty comments! Bring on the regular season!

If the Packers rip the Eagles week 1.. I'll be thinking "where's my bong.. and the salt and lime?"

McNabb never won it for me.. if Kolb doesnt than its no difference. Its exciting to have a change, and a change that the Eagles players and organization feel is for the better. Its exciting to have that potential. Kolb is exactly the kind of guy you want behind center. No nonsense, accurate, and a good team guy.

You wouldnt know what it feels like to get close and choke all the time. I'm not going to miss #5.

I'm not sure about the validity of your points, but I admire your ability to duplicate Nascar1966's writing style so precisely.

I think so. For some reason Shonn Greene has gotten absolutley zero camera time on Hard Knocks but he's their starting RB. He ran for 540 yards last year while splitting time with Jones. He's pretty good and the Jets thought enough of him to get rid of Thomas Jones. If anyone remembers the playoff games last year, he was their go to guy.

By all accounts LT has looked fantastic in preseason. I know it's tough to gauge a whole lot from preseason (unless you are a Pats fan) but he's a pretty solid backup.

You won't find anyone that holds McNabb in higher regards than I do, but there is more than meets the eye with his INT per PASS ATTEMPT stat. He never really tried to thread the needle with the majority of his passes. If he thought there was a chance of an interception, he'd miss his target by a mile (short or long). Some faulted him for that, some praised him for rarely turning the ball over. I think Kolb will take more chances with the football, and it remains to be seen where it takes us. There will be a learning curve, for sure, but I'm inclined to see how his style meshes with these receivers before I label the McNabb trade a heady one or a bone-heady one.

One HUGE difference that we'll see is that Kolb will get rid of the ball when under pressure, whereas McNabb tried to extend the play with his body strength, almost always shrugging off first contact. That was my biggest peeve with him, instead of unloading the ball just before he is rushed out of bounds, he'd hold onto it and take a 4 yard loss, then laugh it off.

I got this one Hoss.
