According to a team source, Michael Vick will be the starting quarterback for the Philadephia Eagles against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Kolb has apparently not yet passed the next stage of the concussion testing. While Vick played very well last week end in the team's opening loss to Green Bay this is still Kolb's team. And as the old adage goes: you can’t lose your starting spot because of an injury. Give Kolb a chance and by “chance” we mean more than one quarter of football to win you guys over, Vick supporters.
