The Eagles have a quarterback who is unhappy.

And his name is not Donovan McNabb. That’s right, backup QB Kevin Kolb is making a little news of his own.

Kolb met with the media yesterday during the camp for rookies and some selected vets at the NovaCare Center. He admitted that he is getting a little “antsy” to get on the field and show what he can do.

The only view Birds’ fans have of Kolb aside from the preseason is the now-infamous second half of that game in Baltimore last year in which McNabb was benched. Kolb led the Eagles down the field, then threw an ill-advised interception as the Birds were knocking on the door. Ed Reed returned it 108 yards for a TD and the rout was on.

Yesterday, asked by Derrick Gunn of Comcast SportsNet about the possibility of the team offering an extension to starter McNabb, Kolb sounded like a guy who would not be all that thrilled with that prospect.

It’s one of the touchiest situations the Eagles face this year. They seem to be built to win now. That means with McNabb. But he wants a new deal. In the meantime, they need to make a decision on Kolb, who is nearing the end of his deal as well. The Eagles need to decide if he’s going to be the QB of the future, but what do you judge that on? Kolb has almost no experience in real games.

Then there is the even more intriguing aspect of how McNabb will react to Kolb’s comments and what his demeanor will be like if his impasse with the team over a new deal goes into the summer.

Yep, things are heating up. And the team is not even at Lehigh yet.
