When the news flashed across the wires that Michael Vick was the new starting QB of the Philadelphia Eagles, I could only shake my head in disbelief. Just last week, I wrote: “[Reid] is not going to wither under media and fan pressure to start Michael Vick. First, because he knows Michael Vick is not [...]

(or Quick! Everyone Panic!  Kolb fails to win Super Bowl in week 1.) There’s no getting around it: Kolb was absolutely dreadful on Sunday. 5 for 10 passing, 24 yards, 2 sacks, and a 56.3 rating.
