Kolb plummeting

Finally! an article that at least touches on the real implications for the QB depth chart of the Michael Vick signing. To wit, Kevin Kolb is essentially being demoted.

Yes, yes, Kolb is technically still the "#2" QB - by default right now since Vick is suspended for the first two games of the season. But when Vick comes back, Kolb will be the only #2 QB in the league known as the "disaster QB."

The Eagles actually have done this in recent years where the game day back up is not the same as the long-term back up depending on whether the starter is out for only part of a game or several games. Wasn't Detmer the active #2 QB for a while just so he could hold for Akers but if McNabb was out for several games Garcia would leapfrog from #3 to #1?

One other interesting aspect to all this. Just like Kolb might technically be #2 on the depth chart, what if Vick, while technically a QB, is actually designated at another position (WR?) on game days? Might the 6th WR be the "disaster QB" with the thought that it gives Reid the flexibility to use all three QBs as he sees fit and that if something did happen to McNabb, the team could muddle along for a quarter or two with Kolb and Vick and then in the fourth quarter replace McNabb's empty roster spot with the extra WR? An added twist,Vick at WR has fantasy football implications.
