Kolb getting injured may be what's best for the Bills. This is a growing year with all new everything and a rookie QB who is impressing. Any Head Coach wants to win as many games as possible. That's why it's likely that Marrone will choose the QB that has the best chance to win. Experience is a big part of not losing games at QB. Marrone knows it. A conservative HC who just wants to win could easily pick Kolb even if Manuel shows flashes of brilliance. Consistency and experience would seem to increase your chance of winning more than an ability to make a few flashy plays. Big mistakes can cost games. The HC would want to trust that the QB won't make them. A rookie starting will cause a HC major angst.
But if Kolb gets injured Marrone's hand is forced. He has to take the chance of non-consistent and risky play from his rookie QB. And that may speed up the growth of EJ and bring us closer to developing the answer at QB that we have needed since the SB years.
