Sporting Philadelphia Eagles Andy Reid Must Worry

royal00z

It's no secret who I'm talking about, but if you took the time to participate and took this little exercise seriously, it's also no secret how you would feel about the situation.
And if he loses the locker room, there is no taking it back. If those guys feel as though Reid's decision causes them to lose even one game, it could mean the end of Reid's tenure in Philadelphia.
In 2001 an affiliated minor league, the National Basketball Development League, now called the NFL Development League or D League was created. Before the league was started,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there were strong rumors that the NFL would purchase the CBA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and call it its developmental league,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the Continental Basketball Association was its minor league affiliate for years. 20 percent of NFL players spent time in this league and over 143 players have been called up to play in the NFL. Kevin C. CoxIn 2004 the Lakers returned to the Finals, only to fall in five games to the Detroit Pistons. The following off season, Kobe was traded to the Miami Heat, and the Charlotte Bobcats were established as the league 30th team. The Spurs won their third championship in 2005.
Imagine for a second that you're an NFL player. I know you all do it. Hell, I do it at least a few times a day. But, for the purpose of this little exercise, do that for me right now.
As a guy in that locker room, who do you want to see running your team?
That same backup gets a chance to play the next week and his presence alone wins the game for your team. You see him making every play he possibly can, including sacrificing his body just to make any throw he could—something the starter never even considered doing.
Despite the love Jeff Lurie and the rest of the front office holds for Reid, they won't be able to keep him around if his players second-guess every move he makes. And if he keeps Kolb in and he keeps losing, that's exactly what will happen.
The answer is clear, and it's where Reid runs into a huge problem. If Kolb comes out and stinks up the field again, which he almost certainly will, and the team falls to 1-2, the locker room is going to start getting very edgy.
But when the Eagles head down to Jacksonville to play the Jaguars, Kolb will be the guy under center and not Vick. He will be on the sidelines watching Kolb run around like an idiot—whether or not there's any reason to do so—and get the team into trouble with his terrible play.
They're not going to give Kolb a pass and say "Oh well, it's his first year." They're going to see they're 1-2 and start clamoring for Vick. And if Reid denies them the guy they want, he will very quickly lose the locker room.
Kolb has never done a thing that would have any reasonable fan thinking otherwise. At his best, Kolb has been mediocre. At Vick's best, he's been the most electric player in the league.
The fans know that, the team knows that, Andy Reid knows that, the media knows that, and despite saying all the right things, Vick knows that.
Then in the regular season, he looks awful. He completes half of his passes for a measly 24 yards, and your team is down 17 points. But once he's knocked out at halftime, his backup comes in and lights up the field.
Now, if Kolb can turn things around and actually start looking like an NFL quarterback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it will be a moot point. But come on, what are the odds the "Houston Horror" actually makes that happen? The NFL originated in 1946 with 11 teams, and through a sequence of team expansions, reductions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and relocations currently consists of 30 teams. The United States is home to 29 teams and one is located in USA. The Boston Bruins have won the most championships with 17 NFL Finals wins. The next most successful franchise is the Los Angeles Lakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who have 16 overall championships 11 in Los Angeles, 5 in Minneapolis, including the most recent one. Following the Lakers are the Chicago Bulls with six championships, all of them over an eight year span during the 1990s, and the San Antonio Spurs with four championships.
Now, you see your starting quarterback struggle all offseason long. He's not hitting his passes in training camp or the preseason. Your team just traded away a guy who did a whole lot of winning in order to start this guy, and he's looking very shaky.
Players in the Eagles' locker room want to win. They're young and have a bright future, but they want to win now. They don't want to hear that they might be able to gel with Kevin Kolb three years down the road. They want the guy who will win games for them right now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and right now that guy is Michael Vick.
