NFL Season Preview: Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles have ended the Donovan McNabb era and now enter into a new realm. The Eagles have been led by McNabb for years and have found great amounts of success with McNabb at the helm. The Eagles saw that their quarterback situation was crowded this year and decided that it was time for Kevin Kolb to take over the show.
Kevin Kolb has been named the starting quarterback, but interestingly enough many people don’t think the he will keep the job. The Eagles have backup quarterback Michael Vick, who is a favorite with football betting and he seems to be doing better than he has in years. Vick has the talent package that is unrivaled by any quarterback in the league. His speed, agility and arm strength have not been seen in one player in the history of the game.
He has not proven himself since coming back from suspension, but many believe that his time to play is now.
The Eagles don’t have the strongest talent pool offensively, but they don’t have a few solid tools. The good thing about turning things over to Vick is that he doesn’t necessarily need a huge pool of talent in front of him. He has the ability to take over games and make the defenders pay attention to him rather than the receivers. This can help a decent receiver change into a great one when all of the attention is not focused on them.
The Eagles may decide to develop Kevin Kolb instead, and if they do play Kolb instead you can expect no more than a mediocre season from the Eagles in 2010.
