Jerry Jones Thinks The Eagles Will Be More Consistent With Kevin Kolb

It appears that Kevin Kolb has another fan down in Dallas. We already know that Kolb and Troy Aikman are pals and now Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is praising the kid. He told Paul Domowitch that he expects the Eagles to be more consistent with Kolb than they were with McNabb.
`McNabb helped create those big swings in our games over the last 10 years,’’ Jones said. ``When he played well, it was like throwing the knockout punch. When he didn’t, you were able to throw the knockout punch. I don’t see that now (with Kolb). I think Kolb and the way they’re going about it now, you won’t have those big swings one way or the other. I think every game with them is going to be a battle. Because of Kolb and because the makeup of the rest of their team is solid. And their coach, there is not a better coach in the NFL than Andy (Reid).’’
Remember that it was a trade with the Cowboys that netted the Eagles Kevin Kolb and Stewart Bradley(Dallas got Anthony Spencer). So if Jerruh is indeed correct(and let's hope he is), he may regret the trade.

Can the hype balloon get any bigger?
All that’s left is for Putin and Obama to wear Kolb jerseys to the next G8 summit. I can’t wait for these games to start already.

I bet............
Jerry would swap Romo for Kolb in a heartbeat just because of the whole Texas thing. As far as the trade as of now we got the best of it since we got 2 starters out of the deal, however as much as i hate 2 admit it Spencer has the looks of a pro-bowler in the making and can only benefit from playing with Ware.
That's what I say to people who compliment me too.
I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.

What credibility does Jerry Jones have? He thinks Wade Phillips is a good coach.

Well Wade Phillips is pretty much the football version of Charlie Manuel…definitely not the best strategist in the game by any stretch but he gets his guys to play for him and play well. Sometimes, if you have enough talent than that is enough to warrant a guy keeping his job.
Looking forward to the Kevin Kolb era.

Well said by Jerry Jones
He said something I have been saying for awhile. It’s funny if you watch game tape of McNabb back in college it was the same thing.. 2 WTF passes, and then a “holy cow, where did that come from play?” When McNabb was ON we were virtually unbeatable bc I swear when he was on the whole team was on.
Let’s hope those where did that come from plays are over like many of us have predicted so it a)proves we made the right decision b)we’re moving in a better direction and c)makes me look smarter by saying it all along :D
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
I agree with you completely and as much as I despise anything and everything Jerry says and does he is spot on with this. The Eagles offense may not be better with Kolb than it was with McNabb(personally I think it will) but I definitely think the offense will be more consistent. That is generally one of the by products of having a more accurate quarterback. Kolb isn’t going to bomb the hell out of teams like McNabb could do, but he can create and maintain long sustainable drives which in turn will hopefully eat up clock and keep our suspect defense off the field. Not to mention the added bonus of our wideout’s feeling a little safer out there knowing that Kolb will be leading them with his passes rather then opening them up for a world of hurt by leaving stuff behind them or throwing stuff three feet too high.
Looking forward to the Kevin Kolb era.

Right
like yous aid, Kolb is not going to make those plays with his feet — ever. he’ll probably never hold onto the ball and improvise like mcnabb could either but I thinjk his consistency and accuracy overall will be better.. thats my guess anyway
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
The Eagles under McNabb were live and die with big play. In my humble opnion much of his success rested on the legs of Brian Westbrook. The reason his TD / INT raito was so good was he never had to force anything with Westbrook in the flat who was alawys a threat to take the 3 yard swing pass 90+ yards to the endzone and he never fumbled.
P.S.
I miss Westbrook

You should have seen him in college. He’d trip through a hole, fall down and gain 8 fucking yards. It was ridiculous. Hopefully Shady can be remotely close to what Westy was for us.

sounds to me like
Jerry is trying to stop the “they don’t respect” us card. But, he’s pretty much right. We’ll be more consistant. Whether or not that’s an improvement? I’l not judging until week 15.
I don’t care as much about the playoffs, as I want to feel like we’re competitve with dallas. I think we are, I want to see that we are.
2010-11 Predictions:
Kevin Kolb will go to the probowl and complete >65% of passes.
Jeremy Maclyn will have more receptions than Miles Austin & Steve Smith
Graham will have the starting LDE spot tied up by week 5, win ROTY, and have >10 Sacks
11-5 finish.
