IDBillzFan Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 "Whatever the Philadelphia Eagles are going to ask me to do, I'm willing to do it," Holcomb said. Let's hope they don't ask him to throw the ball farther than six yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Holcomb was a backup on a non playoff team the past 2 years.......nuff said. I can careless hes gone now. Chances are with McNabb on the Eagles he wont see the field much, thats if McNabb can stay healthy. If the Eagles think Holcomb can be another Jeff Garcia they are dead wrong. Id rather see the Eagles with Holcomb at the helm them McNabb........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyT Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Let's see....if we strip out Holcomb's quotes from the writer's obvious dislike and disrespect for the Bills.... "I just want to be in an organization where you have a chance to win, and I think that's what you've got with these guys," "When they walk out of the locker room and walk onto the field, they know they're going to win the football game." "Whatever the Philadelphia Eagles are going to ask me to do, I'm willing to do it," Holcomb said. "I just think that when you do get an opportunity to play, you have to go out there and you have to produce. You know that you're not the starter a lot of times, but you know that whoever is playing can go down at any given time. You have to prepare each week like you are the starter." "Experience is a great teacher, and I think I've played a lot of games, and when I went in there I did well," So where does Holcomb fit in moving forward? "They haven't indicated anything," he said. "I've got to totally learn something new, but I'll pick up on it. I'm looking forward to it," Holcomb said. "It's going to be a challenge, but I think it fits me, I really do." Yeah, Holcomb is a hateful bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordio Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 "Hate" is pretty strong. I wonder if Kelly ever wondered whether there was any correlation between his presence on bad teams? I was thinking the same thing when I read it. Anyways, I wouldnt worry to much what holcolmb says, my guess is if Mcnabb comes back healthy & feely in the fold the phily brass is going to have hard time justifying keeping a 1.3 mill 3rd string qb that cant throw the ball more the 20yrs on the team.

Yeah, Holcomb is a hateful bastard. yeah, i don't see anything in this article said by Holcomb that slams the Bills. anything negative came directly from the writer. it's amazing to me how people have difficulty distinguishing who says what when reading stories on the internet. like the other day, when Chris Brown cut & pasted a section of a chat on espn.com with a PFW writer. the PFW writer said he thought the Bills were pursuing Michael Turner. all of a sudden, somebody reads it in Chris Brown's blog, and attributes the quote to Brown and his insider info. all he was doing was passing along a tidbit from a chat, and somebody turned around and made it sound like it was nearly a done deal because he managed to leave out some details. people, take some to read what is written and get your facts straight!!!

ofiba Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I saw Holcomb on the news here. He actually went on to say something like "I've been on teams where that's the case (having a chance to win), and I've been on teams where it's not." In this article it's more like the writer is shaping his words than it is Holcomb bashing the Bills. So we can call off the dogs on this one.

Rubes Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Holcomb is a decent guy, no need to hate. But what really makes me chuckle is how much love he's getting from Philly, as though getting him really makes that trade a big bonus for Philly. I mean, seriously. He's going to be the 3rd string QB. If you have to go to your 3rd string QB, you have issues. And is Holcomb *really* that excited to go to a team where he will be virutally assured of holding a clipboard for the rest of his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 You got to be kidding me, right? What did this guy say wrong? It's time to get a grip, this lynch mob mentality is unbecoming. McGahee came right out and bashed everything that Buffalo stands for, plus his indifference while he was here invites disdain but to go around hating a guy because he's happy to have an opportunity is distasteful.

Koufax Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 All joking aside, since he knows he is going to be a backup the rest of his career, absent any allegiance to Buffalo (hard to imagine for us, but reasonable for a journeyman backup), would you rather be carrying a clipboard for a team that hasn't seen the playoffs this century or a team that goes to the championship game every year, has been to a Super Bowl recently, and managed to make the playoffs even after their franchise QB went down for the year? Sure maybe he would rather play for Detroit than carry the clipboard for the Patriots, but since playing isn't an option being in a place that wins all the time is probably a good fit and a happy change of scenery. I don't see anything terrible in his comments or overly critical of Buffalo. The joke is on him, however as we continue to get better and Philly already peaked. Don't worry Kelly, JP has your address and will send you one of those ugly hats with the tag still attached in a couple years...maybe even a matching T-Shirt (but not the commemorative DVD). We are next in line after the Broncos and Patriots and Red Sox and White Sox. The past is not an indicator of the future: just ask any of those four non-winners what it felt like to just play the game, build a great team, and win it all after being tagged a permanent loser.

MDH Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 It's so in vogue to hate Kelly Holcomb now after an article in which he said...umm, well nothing really. I hated him when he was throwing checkdown after checkdown for the Bills. Now that he's not on the Bills I really don't mind the guy at all. In fact, if I get to see him play next year I'll have a totally different reaction. Instead of being irrate while watching him I'll likely be laughing.
