Reid Makes Bad Decision
| Author: Michael Licata |

The Philadelphia Eagles under Andy Reid are a successful
NFL franchise. They’ve made the playoffs eight times over the past 11
seasons. It’s all been with Donovan McNabb as the starting quarterback. This
past offseason, Reid sent McNabb packing to Washington and anointed Kevin
Kolb as the starter of the future.
Kolb showed flashes of being a quality NFL starter while spelling McNabb on
occasion the past few years. He was looking forward to his shot as a full
time starter this season. It was a quick season as he was knocked out of the
opening game against the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles turned to Michael
Vick. They won their first game last Sunday. Now Reid is choosing the quick
fix that Vick provides over the long term success that should happen if Kolb
was the starter. Reid named Vick the starter for the foreseeable future. It
means Kolb will have to sit and watch again.
It’s sacrificing long term stability in the franchise with instant success.
Vick’s six quarters of football have been brilliant, but how long is it
going to last? Kolb is perfect for the west coast offense. Vick was
underutilized by Reid and his coaching staff last season and up until the
Kolb injury. Reid has been an advocate of players not losing their job due
to injury, what’s this then?
The offensive line for the Eagles hasn’t played that well this season. Vick
can still run for his life and create plays with his feet. It’s the main
reason why he’s starting over Kolb. Reid is also throwing away an entire
offseason of preparation with Kolb as the starter. Vick does give the Eagles
the best chance to win now, but it’s going to blow up in their faces when
one of the quality QBs determines they don’t like playing for Reid any
longer.
