The switch wasn't made because Kolb's not healthy; Kevin reported ready for practice after missing the last six quarters with a concussion. Does Reid's announcement break my observed pattern regarding black quarterbacks being benched faster than their white counterparts? Yes, and this blogger could not be happier.
It really is massively cool.
To get the starting job Vick had to play lights-out football, and he has. Few quarterbacks can match the impact Vick has had on the Philadelphia Eagles this season.
Over two games, Vick has a 105.3 QB rating and has thrown for 459 yards and three touchdowns. Vick will start this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It will be interesting how Vick can do with the all the added expectations and against higher quality defenses. The Eagles didnt give Kolb much of a chance to prove he was the long-term solution.
