Back to the McNabb trade... The current Eagles players are THRILLED that Kolb is their QB now. Even D-Jax said "a change was needed" You read any of the quotes from Jackson, Maclin, Celeck and the O linemen and you can really tell that they wanted Kolb to be the QB and not McNabb. They have a MUCH better relationship with Kolb and think he's a better leader (which is obvious). Maclin basically said (in different words) that he is excited to have an accurate QB now. Said there aren't any throws out there that Kolb cant make.

I'm so excited for the Kolb era. The fact that the players are happier with him at QB speaks volumes.

Here is Brian Baldinger's take on the trade:

The Eagles should be ecstatic. I view McNabb as a flawed player, and it was never more apparent than in the back-to-back losses to the Cowboys last season. His flaws will never go away. Now, the Eagles get at least two chances to expose the same flaws they've been covering up for 11 years. It works against the Redskins that McNabb is still in the division. Andy Reid can finally stop covering up for one of the most overrated quarterbacks in the history of the game. The Eagles will go to the playoffs. The Redskins will be watching from the golf course.
