Kolb could fit better though. He's super accurate and has some mobility, just not Vick-like mobility.

That brings up a good point though. What is Shanahan's system exactly? I was under the impression that it was based on progressions that start deep and then work their way down, along with the bootlegs, play action, and zone blocking. I think Jaws called it 3 to 1 with 3 being the deep zone and 1 being 5 yards in front of and 5 yards behind the line of scrimage.

On the other hand I was also under the impression that Reid emphasizes short dump offs before going deep as evidenced by the heavy use of Brian Westbrook during his days in Philly. It seems that only recently with the acquisition of Desean Jackson that the team has implemented more deep passes.
