NFL - Week 2.

i mean monster is overstating it, but i will say this, that o-line fucking sucks, so his mobility is necessary, and even if kolb got the start, he would not be able to show whether her really good or not (and as vick as his backup, with every missed pass or game loss everyone would be scrutinized...) it's a stupid situation for kolb and the organization, and even the fans,... for vick it's great, he went from almost not being able to find a team, to getting a 1 yr 2 mill (2nd year option 5.6 mill), he will easily be able to find a team now (esp since all the dog fighting heat has died down).

Bad precedent to set.  You shouldn't lose your job to an injury. 

Vick is playing like a monster. It's hard to keep a guy like that on the bench.

He couldn't get it done against Green Bay and it was there for the taking, and big deal against Detroit. He still has that terrible passing that comes and goes and if I were Philly I'd wonder what I could get for him right now. If it's nothing spectacular then yeah I'd run with him until he fails you completely, and I'm calling it now. This is Vick's job to lose and he will lose it. I don't say this often, but I wouldn't mind being wrong on this one.

My prediction for Cassel was one thing and still needs time to settle, but it was Romeo that made my prediction in the first place.

As for Cassel; most of that, from what I've seen in the week 1 game, was to do with the way Wies is handling the play calling. Right now they are taking the approach of let the defense win the game and keep the offense safe. Even superstar Charles isn't seeing a lot of numbers yet. I personally think they'll run with this until they lose a game or two. By mid-season the gloves will come off and you'll see some nicer offensive numbers.

But let's be very real here. Brady didn't see a 4000 yard season until Wies left. They never had a big name WR on those NE teams and Charlie worked with what he had built an offense that supported a defensive team. Which is what we have now. I expect Cassel finish this year with around 3000 yards 20 TDs and 15 Ints, give or take a few numbers here and there. But I expect the wins number to be way up, even though QBs shouldn't have that in their column.

Unless they somehow manage to make a trade for Vincent Jackson. Then the numbers might fly. Or if they get Moss next year. This KC team with Moss could get a ring.

Sounds good man, nice info, and I hope your right about Wiess and the game plan being to win with defense like the pre-Moss years.

Well Chiefs have been very passive in free agency for a few years now.  They've been at the bottom of the pay roll scale now for two years.  Maybe they will be ready to make a splash in free agency in the offseason.

see its such a fucked up sittuation for philly, say he does good over next two games (he'll def do good against jaguars and at home to washington, probably), then say they trade him (for a 2nd rounder?) ok, now if he does good, and kolb does ass this season, the organization gets screwed, or if he stays, begins to fade, then we throw kolb in expecting vick and being impatient, not giving the young kid any time (i mean, if he starts that game AT san fran, he'll be destroyed)

if i had to guess, i think vick will have an ok season though, because again, i feel like any time kolb will be on that field, unless he is flawless, he will be judge impatiently and improperly,
