Vick Not the Star Today, It's All About KK

Found September 27, 2009 on Bleed Eagles Green:

PLAYERS: Jeff Garcia
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders

Kevin is the true #2 guy right now, and has started to make a believer out of this naysayer in regards to his future here as a #1.

Sure, Vick played and was okay, yadda yadda yadda. Kolb and Celek were what made the offense go today. Desean made some big plays, Lesean played the workhorse role a bit, but Kolb to Celek was there all day.

After this week, hopefully we don't see much Kolb or too much Vick ater the buy, because this is Donny's team... but at least we know the KK is a legit guy who can come in and play when needed.

Sorry to see Jeff Garcia's last day in an Eagles uniform essentially be a fumbled snap... but there is much more to be happy abotu here than worried about.
