Was Philadelphia's draft a "Whoops", or was it genious

Its always hard to determine whether the actions a genius takes are brilliant, and if they indeed are, a genius, or if they are simply crazy or foolish. Joe Banner and Andy Reid's drafting of a quarterback in their first pick could be crazy or a stroke of genius. Kevin Kolb may be a good quarterback, but I am not sure this is a good draft for the Eagles for some political reasons. Not to mention that giving up a first round pick for this guy, must mean that he is some kind of good. At least we hope that's what it means.

Did the Eagles take a vote of "no-confidence" in Donovan McNabb? I don't think so. I think they are taking out a little insurance. No one in Philly is saying, but typically if your quarterback has what 4 of the last 5 seasons where he has season ending injuries, you have to start wondering how much gas they have left in the tank. How much more bashing can Don's body take? I think Philly doesn't want to be left holding the bag. If Kolb is as good as we all hope he is, I think that Philly is thinking that if Donovan is forced to retire in the next two seasons, they will have a great backup ready to take the reins. If he doesn't, then they can parley him into a first round draft choice to pick up someone they need.

I still don't agree with losing a first round draft pick and giving your rival a chance to pick up their need. Dallas got exactly what they wanted, Philly, I'm not sure what they've got. Donovan McNabb is arguably in the top 3 quarterbacks in the NFL. You've got to give a guy like that a chance. Feely isn't bad, he is good enough to handle the duties while Donovan recuperates, he has proven that. I think Philly has made a "Whoops," because they are making Donovan feel insecure, even though he is a class guy and isn't commenting on it, they shouldn't be doing that to the best quarterback in Philly history...

McNabb's treatment should trouble Kolb
