Should I start Kevin Kolb against the Chiefs or Joe Flacco against the Browns?

We don’t lose points for interceptions. — Sean Callahan, West Hartford, Conn. SW: I’ll go with Flacco, but probably not for the reasons you’d expect. I actually think Kolb has the higher ceiling against that porous Chiefs defense. The Eagles like to throw the ball, after all, and they didn’t shy away from letting the kid air it out for 391 yards against the Saints in Week 2. But Kolb has something Flacco doesn’t — competition, specifically in the form of Michael Vick. I realize Kolb will still get the start and the majority of the snaps, but nobody knows exactly how much or to what extent the Eagles will use Vick. If he gets all the time in the red zone, he might not leave many points behind for Kolb. And it’s not like Flacco has a poor matchup against the Browns. He might not get as many yards as Kolb just because the Ravens have a better running game than the Eagles, but he still managed two touchdown passes on a 190-yard day at San Diego in Week 2. He’ll get his, and that measure
