Would you rather your WR not have confidence, or not be excited for the future, or not want to work to be the best? Nothing wrong with #10′s attitude. I think DJ did well when Kolb was in there last year, if I am not mistaken. The Eagles might be rebuilding a little bit, but they are doing it well, just like when Andy did when he got to Philly.

Selgae, yo’re just looking at last years stats. In ’08, Desean actually played well vs the cowboys and burned Newman more than once.

I’m not going to call Jackson a diva. It’s too early to say. He is deffinitely not lacking in confidence, but we will have to wait and see if that manifests into the typical me-me-me big play receiver.
However, I doubt he will have the time to develop into a Diva. He is a 165lb concusion waiting to happen. Maybe, he will have the luck that Marvin Harrison had avoiding major injuries, but Harrison didn’t play in the slobber knocking NFC East. I will be surprised if he is able to play 16 games a season.

Our playcalling on offense needs significant revamping..perhaps its time to bring in a “real” offensively gifted mind to best utilize the talent we clearly have. I’d like to see the run established…lots of screens with the playmakers gettin YAC all day on the outside, of course with a few bombs down the field as well. Avant and Celek both possess masterful hands catching the ball over the middle. sounds like a recipe for offensive succes, but wait…thats only half the battle

BIOUS, you say Desean needs to start holding onto the ball before he crosses the goalline for a change. OK, I think he successfully crossed the goalline with the ball in his hands for a total of 12 times last season.

Jackson needs to shut up and start holding onto the ball before he crosses the goalline for a change
He also needs to remember that the minute they lose a game next season, EVERYONE will turn on Kevin and probably Jackson, especially if he drops a pass or makes a bad play
McNabb was not the problem and the results will show that loud and clear when they dont make the playoffs next season

@myeaglescantwin
TO called him out because he didnt get the ball enuff and also calling 80 pass plays a game didnt help the offense…Need a decent running game, and if the opposing D knew they were throwing the ball that much, WTF do you expect

@theblowedone
are you sure it was not the f’n typical play calling AR called for the last 3 seasons that killed the eagles? Granted the skins have had a horried FO and CS those seasons but really why have the eagles not won the SB? Check Andy IMHO. I have respect for the Eagles and think he was the issue not Mc…

Ha! You haters make me laugh! What else is Desean supposed to say? Do you expect him to say that their offense is going to struggle without McNabb? So he has confidence in Kolb, whats wrong with that?? Shouldnt EVERY WR in the league have confidence in his QB?

Desean Who? He has to be kidding. He was too big for DeBartolo Sports? He’s been in the league 3 years and only has 11Tds. Impressive
TWO YEARS.
If you want to hate, fine, but bring some facts/research with you. And yeah, hes already to big for debartolo sports.

anyone who thinks McNabb was ‘covering’ for anyone is retarded.
TO called out how bad Dmac was at reading defenses and not going through his progressions. He was right & they shipped him off
we’ll see whats good when the games are played. Personally i think the D is too small and the skins are gonna run the ball down the throats of the NFC east..
but if DonnyMc puts that ball in the air its ours. He’ll be lucky to get a pass off with Cole, Parker and Graham coming at that shitty OL.

*******************
I’d say, “You’re kidding, right?” but I know that you aren’t. You seriously believe that THAT pass proved that he didn’t have a noodle arm? Jason White, who DID have a noodel arm, made better passes in college and no one drafted him because he didn’t have an NFL arm.

i seem to remember kolbs first td to jackson was a 70+ yard touchdown. the actual throw went from the eagles 22 to the saints 40. mcnabb obviously could throw the ball further but he had little to no control. jacksons just so good that he adjusted to the errant rockets mcnabb tossed up. trust philadelphia, they know best when they say that kolb is an improvement over mcnabb and jackson is actually that good.

Step back haters and watch this kid become a huge star in this league. I truely believe Rosehaus learned a lesson with his handling of the TO/Eagles debacle…
My money is on DJax. He probably wins that race today. He definately wins that race next summer, 5 years from now, and 10 years from now too. CJ’s gonna get burned up by Fisher specially since Lendale is gone now too.
@VoxVag: Kolb has a noodle arm?? You’re just wrong. McNubbs was definately stronger but there are plenty of past QBs with strong arms but poor accuracy. Kolb does have a big arm, you will see…
Birds will still make the playoffs AGAIN despite a completely rebuilt defense. Thanks to DJax, Kolb and the “young guns”!
Now if we can just jettison that piece of garbage Vick we can all move on with our lives…..

But if any of you haters would WATCH the games you are trying to talk sh*t on, you would save yourself the embarrassment of speaking out of complete ignorance. In the Cowboys games, if you had watched, Desean was OPEN MULTIPLE times. Unfortunately, Desean isnt 14 feet tall which is the height he would need to be to catch the passes thrown 5 yrds over his head, and it also doesnt count as a catch if it BOUNCES off the GROUND first. Now get outta ur parents basement and start watching and commenting on Dancing with the Stars or sum sh*t since sports obviously isnt your strong point.

Just a guy saying what he believes. Can’t fault him for that. He has all the talent and ability to back it up. With all the young talent the Eagles have on offense, and the new talent coming on defense, the Eagles are building themselves into a strong contender for the next several years.

theblowedone — Sun, 09 May 2010 15:49:20 +0000

And all the people calling Desean a trouble making diva, calling him an asss for signing with Rosenhaus etc. Again, way to show you know NOTHING about what you speak of. All I heard during the draft when the Eagles drafted Desean was how he would be “uncoachable” and a locker room cancer to his team and so on. But what happened? He became a LEADER of the team, made all 31 other teams who passed on him suffer for doing so, and was nothing but a positive addition locker room and leadership wise instantly. He is HIGHLY respected by not only his teamates, but by his coaches as well. He has been better than anyone could have hoped for, and its so funny watching all these salty fans who are mad that their team wasnt smart enough to draft this him. I LOVE how Redskins fans are running their mouth when they took Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly the same draft. The WR’s who were taken BEFORE Desean were Donnie Avery, Jerome Simpson, Devin Thomas, James Hardy, Jordy Nelson, Eddie Royal…No wonder so many haters are so SALTY @ watching Desean blossom into an elite WR and the Most explosive player in the NFL in only his SECOND SEASON as a #1when their squads passed on him for the GARBAGE I mentioned earlier who havent done anything, including even getting on the field for some. But I shall quote a previous comment again “Desean WHO?!!?” HAHAHAHAH

By: theblowedone

theblowedone — Sun, 09 May 2010 15:39:39 +0000

So funny to read the comments on this post. Why do morons who obv know NOTHING about football waste their time making an account on PFT and then embarrass themselves even more by making no knowledge comments to prove the fact that they have no brain. One comment said Desean WHO? He’s not “explosive” hes a “nobody” and CJ is explosive but Desean isnt….Hmm. Yea Desean only tied the record for most 50 plus yard TD’s in a season, and WAS the most EXPLOSIVE player in the NFL last year! But yea, hes “not explosive” LMAO. And another comment about LARON LANDRY “taking him out” HAHA. Yea Landry sure is a great S who instills fear in his opponents. Hes prolly not a top 5 S in the NFC EAST! And about Desean not “showing up” against Dallas….all Desean can do is GET OPEN. When Mcnabb is under-throwing, over-throwing, and flat out missing wide open receivers than whose fault is that? Well its not the Eagles problem anymore, now its the Redskins problem to deal with.

For everyone who is upset that DeSean would make a comment backing his quarterback, along the lines of saying “I don’t think we lost anything, even with McNabb being gone,” what is he supposed to say? “Clearly we took a step backwards without McNabb”?
That’s ridiculous. Of course he is going to voice confidence in himself and his team. McNabb chose to respond and be a baby about it. McNabb should’ve let it go and say, “I think Kolb will be a good QB and I know we’ll have 2 great games a year.” (as someone else alluded to in the earlier McNabb responds post).
As far as all the Kolb-hating, it’s really too early to judge with his only having two NFL starts. Save the judgement for the season. But if we’d like to judge so harshly, let’s look at his first NFL start, against the superbowl winning New Orleans Saints. Some selected highlights (clips taking from Bleeding Green Nation):
His first starting QB NFL drive (just the passes): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdUuJfbACUg&feature=player_embedded
First play, first option is Celek, he checks down to McCoy. Nothing dumb, solid 5 yards. His second pass should put to bed the “noodle arm” argument. A deep shot to DeSean that goes for a TD. McNabb has one of the strongest arms in the NFL, so there will probably be a drop-off. However, unlike many plays to DeSean this year where he had to slow down and turn around to catch the underthrown McNabb ball, he catches Kolb’s pass in stride and easily takes it in. Doesn’t look like much of a problem beating them deep.
The Eagles 6th drive, down 17-10 with :37 left in the 2nd quarter and only one time-out (great clock management, Andy): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKUmbP_i3uE&feature=player_embedded
For a first time starter, he takes the team down the field, gets a shot at the endzone, and wisely settles for a field goal when nothing’s there to make the game 17-13. This shows a good deal of patience and understanding for the game, and a damn good sense of clock management. Very impressive for a first time starter against the future superbowl winners. Even Troy Aikman, who’s announcing, and some would say has a decent leaning against the Eagles when calling games, compliments Kolb on one of his plays, saying “Great job by Kevin Kolb seeing this…that’s a hard thing to see for a quarterback and then react to that. Nice job by Kevin Kolb.”
Both of these drives were before the “garbage time” stats everyone claims he put up. A first time NFL starting QB couldn’t beat the Saints. No one else really did either.
I’m not saying Kolb will be the next Manning or Brees, but everyone should stop anointing him as the next Koy Detmer until we see him play when it matters.
DeSean is confident in Kolb, himself and the Eagles, which makes me, as a fan, confident and excited to see these guys play. I don’t know why some of you paint that as a bad thing.

I don’t care what Desean says. As long as he produces, there shouldn’t be a problem with him getting paid, or the Eagles winning some games.
Unfortunately, he’ll be a second or third round pick in fantasy drafts. Last year, he was one of my come-ups.
