Proposed Kolb grading system

Sure, you could just look at the Eagles record to decide how well new QB Kevin Kolb is playing. But what fun would that be? What we need here is a set of statistical criteria to judge every aspect of Kolb’s game against how the Maryland Racial Slurs’ new QB (Donovan McNabb) is doing, and then determine a clear and completely arbitrary winner. In fact, we should do that every single week, constantly evaluating and second-guessing Kolb’s entire career.

So, let’s see what we’ve got from the first set of preseason games:

---------------------------------------------
QB Rating: Point to McNabb
Kolb 83.5, McNabb 124.0

Completion percentage: Point to McNabb
Kolb 6/11, McNabb 5/8

Yards: Point to Kolb
Kolb 95, McNabb 58

TDs: Point to McNabb
Kolb 0, McNabb 1

Turnovers: Push
Kolb 0, McNabb 0

Rushing Yards: Point to Kolb
Kolb 15, McNabb 1

Team offensive points: Point to McNabb
Kolb 6, McNabb 7

Team win: Push
Kolb Yes, McNabb Yes

Result: McNabb 4, Kolb 2, Push 2.
Results for the year: McNabb leads 1-0 (preseason)
---------------------------------------------

Keep in mind that this is still the preseason, so I may tweak the formula before the regular season recaps begin.
