Eagles fans excited about QB for first time since Kolb era

Not since the Kevin Kolb era of 2010-10 have Eagles fans been this excited about a quarterback as Michael Vick put together another fantastic performance against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Vick threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 30 yards and another score in the Eagles 28-3 win over the Jags, winning over countless fans in the process.

“I’m old enough to have lived through the Kevin Kolb era,” said Mark Penza, 13, a longtime Eagles fan. “I remember fans jumping on the Kolb bandwagon left and right just like they are now with Michael Vick. Good times.”

Philly Gameday attempted to track down former Eagles great Kevin Kolb, but team officials could not determine his whereabouts and is assumed to be retired or deceased.
