The two teams have commenced the process of challenging the decision to strip $46 million in salary cap space from the two teams that treated the uncapped year as, well, an uncapped year.

h/t to FakeWIPcaller on Twitter.

and no, you are not reading that wrong.

Apparently someone in the DC area has been going around making appearances as Vince Young for the last 2 months. Not only was he visiting the places, such as children's hospitals, he's been taking money for it. Scum.

Could he end up in the NFC East?
Would you want the Eagles to take a shot on him?
Thoughts?

Peter King Story about how the Eagles managed the salary cap so well... and other things.

Good read.

Interesting new rule for scoring plays. What do you all think? I like the rule, as long as it doesn't lengthen the game. Plus it means Andy can better manage his challenges.

I don't know if you can disagree with those 2 concrete stats. (3-4 record as a starter and 11-14 TD to INT ratio) (sarcasm)

Ok, look at Kolbs 4 losses: New Orleans, Packers where he got hit and knocked out of the game, Titans (see Kenny Britt) and Cowboys (last regular season game where 0 starters played for the eagles). Look at his passing stats. That 11-14 TD to INT ratio is a cherry picked stat. He's still only started 7 games, so that stat is actually pretty good, and at least 3 INTs were on hail marry's.

He goes on to say Kolb is a worse choice for the Cardinals than Bulger, Palmer, Hasselback, and Vince Young. I guess he really likes injured quarterbacks... and Vince Young.

Thoughts?

Arrowhead Pride has a story on it as well.

Just a small good article by Michael Silver on Yahoo Sports, that sums up the McNabb trade and how things developed into the current situation. What are your thoughts? if any.

"4. Edge to McNabb, Redskins: The McNabb trade looks even worse for the Eagles because Andy Reid is four weeks into the season and his quarterback situation is a mess. As predicted, the hits finally caught up to Michael Vick, who averaged about 20 hits a game over the past couple of weeks. He was lost late in the first quarter with rib/chest injury that is going to require a Monday MRI. McNabb didn't put up great numbers, completing only 8 of 19 passes for 125 yards, but he established a running offense that was never emphasized during his Eagles days.

The Redskins' 35 runs kept the Eagles off balance, and, let's face it, Mike Shanahan outwitted Reid in the first quarter. He keyed a scoring drive with a 34-yard reverse that was soon followed by a 12-yard Ryan Torain touchdown run. McNabb had only one completion before he hit tight end Chris Cooley with a 31-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter. The 14 first-quarter points were all McNabb needed.

Reid and the Eagles have to live with the fact that they are 0-2 at home and with more uncertainty at quarterback. Vick's status is uncertain, and Kevin Kolb looked shaky coming off the bench. I still contend the Eagles should have kept McNabb for at least this season."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
His last sentence says it all... I mean really? couldn't tell...
Apparently Qbs can establish the run game before the even scramble once, keep other offenses from scoring 14 points, and even make a team regret trading him with a qb rating in the low 60s and almost losing to a team that repeatedly shot themselves in the foot and got screwed out of 5 points (4 for the diff of a td vs fg plus the point after our touchdown later), aka the difference in the game, not to mention the fg we could have kicked as time ran out, since the redskins might have passed a few times with the game tied, as opposed to up 5
