Poor Decision, Bad Reasoning
Assuming Rich Hoffman is right, the Eagles are being incredibly short sighted in not playing Kevin Kolb these last two weeks. According to Hoffman, the Eagles are going to play McNabb in order to give the appearance that he will be there QB next year so as not to weaken their bargaining position with teams that might be interested in acquiring him in the offseason.
I’m the biggest McNabb booster in the world, but this makes no sense. What, the Eagles aren’t going to give the QB heir apparent important game experience in the final two games of the season so that they can try to squeeze another 3rd rounder instead of a 4th or 5th round pick from the Bears or Vikings wanting to make a deal for McNabb. Please. Forget the negligible increase in value from that pick. It’s vitally more important that the coaches see what Kolb has in actual game conditions and Kolb see what how a real game feels than whatever improved draft pick the Eagles might get from pretending that they are committed to McNabb.
