Kolb looked like a real QB and my distinct impression after watching that game was that Kolb throws ROPES. He's got a helluvan arm. He's conservative and probably always will be, but he'll open up his game with more experience.

Talk to me when he does well against a WINNING TEAM. I'm not going to say Atlanta because they stink too so I guess we will never know because after the BYE Vick will be ready to return

You're right that he has a long way to go to have a credible resume, but "bad team" is extremely relative terminology when applied to an NFL franchise. The caliber of athlete across the league is an extremely close tolerance. What these games come down to is usually a few key plays, penalties and/or one or two key mismatches. The difference between a Superbowl Champion and a division doormat is usually coaching, attitude and 1-3 personnel upgrades.

The Rams and the Lions will still beat you if you don't play your up game.

I know - he also had zero INTs (instead of one). The general prediction of the style of play and statistical outcome that was made was on target.

Kolb is a Joke and won't last in this league

So please I don't want to hear anything about Kolb's performance

I wish we had a "yawn" emoticon. Since we don't, I'll use this one.

If you think Atlanta is a good team and Kolb is a good QB you don't know anything about Football

No, I don't know anything about football at all and you know everything. I do know that your posts get more and more annoying everyday. I guess I just have to go back to ignoring them.

Corn on the Kolb won a game
Good for him, hopefully he can start doing well consistently. By consistently I am talking about throwing no interceptions

Kold did well....a 103 QB rating. Hopefully if he starts next week and has another good game, he will be named the starter over Vick. Its only fair right? Kolb lost his job afyer an injury and the backup did well.
