against who exactly? their division is full of shitty quarterbacks.
Arizona blatantly tanked last season, and I don't think the Valley would have put up with that shit again. The problem here is we keep selling out that fucking stadium and giving Bidwell (who is pure business, he doesnt give a fuck about football, he just wants to make money) maximum income for such a low investment. People in this town would not have put up with another blatantly tanked season.
this addresses four issues. first. it helps them get up to the new salary floor. second. Kolb is at least as ready as anyone who went in the last draft, and in the next one too. Third, it shows Fitzgerald the team is willing to do what it has to do to win (which was the exact opposite of that pathetic team they fielded last year). and Fourth, it re-energizes the fan base. I am doing laundry right now and theres already a couple of Cardinals towels hanging from balconies that werent there before today. Phoenix is desperate for a winner, the Suns are the definition of blueballs, nobody gives a fuck about the coyotes nor expects them to stick around. about the only game in town is the D'backs, and baseball is... well, baseball. you're alot more likely to have someone give a fuck about football than baseball.
the 2nd rounder was a a bit much, but if you keep your stars happy, keep people coming into the stadium and sell a shit ton of jerseys, there are worse moves you could make. it's not like they traded for a guy like McNabb, who is already who he is. Kolb is hope, and probably guarantees another couple of years of sellouts. People have been sitting around in bars here since the lockout began talking about hopefully getting Kolb (thats what happens when you start derek fucking anderson). You're talking about a town that had Kurt Warner's dancing with the stars appearances as the lead sports story every night. They had to get this deal done, no matter what.
