The Future is Kolb

A note from John Harbaugh on Kevin Kolb:

"All I know is I saw Kevin Kolb every day in practice for the year I was the secondary coach when he was the guy going against the defense as the scout team quarterback,’’ Harbaugh said. "When we did red zone, we couldn’t defend him. I mean he’d run the red zone offense for the team we were going to play. We had the No. 1-ranked red-zone defense in the league 2 years ago. And we couldn’t stop Kevin Kolb. Throwing to Mike Gasperson every day in practice. He picked us apart...(The coaches) love him. He’s got all the tools. He’s a leader. He’s tough. He plays the game the right way."

Now Harbaugh could just be saying this to be nice...after all, his team did annihilate us so he's just being a gracious winner. But this did make me feel a wee little bit better about young Kolb. And it does make you wonder whether Donovan's getting that new contract everyone expected a few months ago.

...and it also makes you wonder if the team might just not be making any major trades, instead drafting some young pieces for the future...with Kolb behind center.
