30-year old Michael Vick truly had a “career year” for the Eagles in 2010 due to his passing. Vick played in 12 games for the Eagles last season and he completed 233 of 372 passes (62.6%) for 3,018 yards with 21 TD passes and 6 INTs (100.2 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 100 times for 676 yards (6.8 ypc) with 9 TD runs last season. Vick has now played in 98 games in his NFL career and he has completed 1,169 of 2,115 passes (55.3%) for 14,609 yards with 93 TD passes and 58 INTs (80.2 QB Rating). Vick has also carried the ball 653 times for 4,630 yards (7.1 ypc) with 32 TD runs in his career so far. Vick is locked in as the Eagles starting QB.
26-year old Kevin Kolb lost his job when he suffered a concussion in the season opener. He played in 7 games for the Eagles last season and he completed 115 of 189 passes (60.8%) for 1,197 yards with 7 TD passes and 7 INTs (76.1 QB Rating). Kolb also carried the ball 15 times for 65 yards (4.3 ypc) last season. He has now played in 19 games in his career with the Eagles and he has completed 194 of 319 passes (60.8%) for 2,082 yards with 11 TD passes and 14 INTs (73.2 QB Rating). Kolb has also carried the ball 36 times for 64 yards (1.8 ypc) with 1 TD run so far in his career.
VERDICT: The Eagles are talking about trading Kevin Kolb but I wouldn’t do that unless they get a king’s ransom for him. That’s because Michael Vick is a running QB who gets banged up alot, so the Eagles need a good backup.
