Howie Roseman a Possible Mancrush?

Is it possible to have a mancrush on someone who looks 14?

Our wonderful GM Howie Roseman has made some serious moves this offseason. Ā I have beenĀ inundatedĀ with schoolwork, and I can't find the time to keep up with all of the articles coming out about McNabb (I eat my words here) and Ernie Sims. Ā 

The addition of Sims to the defense at first had me pleased. Ā We got a linebacker at a reasonable cost.Ā  He's got leadership ability, he's young, he's got a high ceiling, he's a starter, and he'sĀ versatile. Most importantly, we're still loaded with picks. The more I read, the more I love.

The article on the Eagles Web site quoting Matt Millen really has me nearĀ ecstatic. Ā If Sims is as good as his first round pedigree would suggest, then we truly got a steal, and I am in love with our new GM.

That being said, I can't jump to conclusions yet. Ā Shrewd as he may be, I have to look at the McNabb trade. Ā I was obviously a McNabb supporter. Ā I have to say that the faith in Kolb must be real. Ā People will hate Roseman for trading McNabb if Kolb fails, but let's look more at that.

Hypothetically...

Let's say we kept McNabb. Ā Next season, Kolb would not sign an extension if we brought him back, let's be real. Ā This means McNabb has to go as a free agent and we have zero say in where he goes.

Kolb is now our starter; McNabb is gone. Ā Kolb fails miserably (knock on wood this isn't the case). Ā Now, we are stuck with Kolb, we're out McNabb, and likely (since he wants to start as well) without Vick. Ā  You know what we have? NOTHING.

Let's say Kolb does well: no complaints.
