Watching a little of the Eagles-Chiefs game, and I'm not impressed at all with Kolb. I really had never seen much of him, so I kept expecting to see this terror who is going to upgrade them so much, but I don't see it.

One very troubling thing if you're a degenerate Eagles fan (sorry, redundant) is that he seems to shy away from contact a little bit. Just like I saw last week, he gets a little skittish when there's any pressure at all and his footwork gets sloppy.

Wait 'til Ware, Spencer, and Rat get after him.

And BTW, BAT was the biggest Studebaker advocate out there.

in the nfl zone there is a thread where we were talking about this last night.

I have watched all 3 of their games this preseason.

I have yet to see him have a decent pocket and when he does I have yet to see him stay in it, read the defense and throw a good ball to a reciever.

It seems last night he didnt even recognize free rushers a couple of times, like he is lacking awareness. Which I guess makes sense for a young guy.

But it has looked like he drops back hits hist fifth or seventh step and then either has to avoid rushers or panics and runs anyway.

The first week against jacksonville the eagles announcers were talking about it like he is so mobile and can roll to his right or left and throw. It is starting to look like he does that prematurely.

I am sure they know what they are doing and it is the preseason, but he looks like a guy that will struggle in this division.

and that first week when GB rolls in, they love to blitz and they are going to score points on that defense...so it could get ugly for kolb. But again its preseason and they may just have him out there doing pretty basic stuff. TIme will tell.
