But coming into this year, especially with Vick saying that he is ready to assume a starting position for some NFL team, I think keeping Vick raises a few more questions.  But I’ll offer a few thoughts on the subject and we’ll see what the rest of you football nuts think as well.

I believe that a year later the Eagles have a lot more confidence in Kolb.  I also believe that if they can deal McNabb or Vick or both, and get what they want for either of them, they will make a deal and move forward with Kolb as the starter.  Part of that is economics also.  Vick’s salary this year is a little steep for a backup or third stringer.

What the problem will be for the Eagles however (at least I think it will be) is that the NFL may just wait them out and then try to get McNabb or Vick cheaper than the Eagles want to deal them.  I mean who would at this point pay a premium price for either of these guys.  St. Louis needs an answer but they can grab a Sam Bradford in the draft.   The Cardinals have some big questions at QB, but I don’t see them going for either McNabb or Vick.

I could name a few more but with all the uncertainty around an uncapped year, I think that the Eagles may be taking a  big gamble.  And personally, that is what I think they are doing.  And time will tell if it’s a smart one or not.  Or whether they have something completely different in mind and are going to surprise all of the NFL and it’s fans.
