Kelly the Dog Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 To me this means that EJ may start game three, the big one. Unless Kolb clearly outplays EJ for a week straight and wins the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) That's cute giving Kolb one last chance. It was a 100% kolb was going to start Friday or the "competition" would have been over. Edited August 15, 2013 by Meatloaf Sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to go far out on a limb guessing wildly - the plan was likely kolb week one, ej week two, name a starter week three and stick with him til you can't anymore.

Coach said Kolb was scheduled to start game 1 and EJ game 2. He swapped it due to Kolbs' injury. Beyond that, anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 What did Kolb do to earn the start? Hurt his knee then left camp and missed over a week of practice. Kolb should get scrub time. EJ should get the start at home. He earned it. I'm obviously not the coach but I think it's crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Ah, I never heard that. I guess my common sense guess was in fact common sense. It was JUST said, thats why.

Also that its preseason so its not like we're benching ej. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of what I meant. EJ starting game 3 makes logical sense now because of the injury, and it allows the team to still show a fairness to the team and fans. If Marrone were to start Kolb in game 2 and 3, it would be somewhat making a statement that Kolb has taking the lead in the race. This way, it sets EJ up to win the job.

Coach Tuesday Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I understand coach's reasoning, but IMO E.J. needs more time against first-string defenses. If he ends up winning the job he will have had several drives against a real NFL defense. That's nuts to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end ej may still get early reps, or even more reps than kolb in the game. I don't think an extra 5-10 or so passing plays against the 1s instead of 2s will change his progression at all. It also pushes him to keep fighting - all in all I don't think it's a big deal. While your approach may be logical I don't think this is nuts.

Yes, it's the typical and logical state of affairs. It's nuts to me that a rookie QB is not more battle-tested by the time he sees live action. I can't imagine being in that situation, personally. Although I guess it's not that different from what they've been doing and preparing for their entire lives...
