Are we looking over how good kolb could be?

[NOT THE DUDE...]

with a terrible oline, maybe the worst oline in the nfl, kolb played pretty well for the cards. and having learned their system in his 2nd year he was playing really well.... I guess what im asking is, obviously kolb has the arm talent to be elite in shorts, and he has shown really nice flashes of excellence in the games. are we looking over kolb? he hasn't even started 2 seasons yet, and people keep saying he peaked, but has he? has he really been given a full season to play and get used to the team? do we really even know how good he can really be??? I just looked at his stats and highlights and he has tremendous arm talent, accuracy, arm strength, toughness, etc. again, its the ultimate what if, but what if kolb played a whole season with the eagles in 2010? or the cards in 2012? would he even be available? I love the ej pick, but I want a truly open competition, I think kolb could surprise, ( especially with quick reads in the no huddle). with a great running game, which I feel we will have, could this be the ultimate surprise bills fans are looking over. keep in mind, in my heart im excited about ej, and would love for him to start, but maybe our emotions are making us look over how good kolb could really be. put it this way, if kolb is starting opening day, I feel we can beat the pats and I have no hesitation in saying that.

one shot to the head and he's for the season... He will start the first 2-3 games

maybe. don't blame you for thinking that. but like I said, if he is healthy the whole year, maybe this guy can light it up...?

Kolb makes Vick look like Ironman.

Kolb started something like 50 straight games in college at Houston, I believe.

So, he got hurt a couple of times...so did Matthew Stafford.

im ok with him starting the season even tho i would rather see EJ since ill be in buffalo week 1 and 2

i think kolb could have some success and this offense seems to fit him well

hand it off play good d and he should be fine

Re: Are we looking over how good kolb could be?

He's just like every pro athlete. When he plays with confidence he's a much better player. Actually, when he's playing w/ confidence, he really looks like a really good qb. His problem is, when he doesn't have confidence, he hurries throws, makes bad decisions, and hangs in the pocket way too long.

I'll give him a chance, but I am not very optimistic.

Re: Are we looking over how good kolb could be?

I think you meant to say overlooking. I think Kolb has a better arm than Fitz. And at this point can read NFL defenses better than EJ.

But EJ has an ARM like few others in the NFL, an ELITE arm. I can't wait until he is ready to start.

showing a video of Kolb throwing an INT in the endzone that was returned for a TD has me sold on him. Thanks NTD, sb here we come.

I will be shocked if kolbsanity isn't our opening day starter...of course, I haven't had as much koolaid on ej as most of you have.

Re: Are we looking over how good kolb could be?

I just think he can be really good, like pro bowl good if healthy, and a good oline, which is very, very possible. like I said, he has the skill set of aaron Rodgers. that's who he reminds me of as a qb, but the kid has always been hurt. I guess we will see

put it this way, with an improved oline, I will not be surprised if he lights it up
