Kevin Kolb-to-Cardinals trade done. Eagles get Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2nd. Kolb gets 5-year, $63.5 million deal, including $21 mil guaranteed.

LOLZona

Least they got their "franchise" QB

The deal is laughable from their end. The trade itself is OK- I think the Eagles win but I am not sold on DRC as a #1 corner. The swap would have been good if not for the draft pick- this deal is very similar to the Portis for Champ Bailey/2nd rounder but on a smaller scale.

The fact is, Kolb hasn't proven he is anything better than average. They make this deal, and then hand him a 21.5 million in guaranteed money. Its a definite :jonesy:

Kolb is ass cheeks. Ass. Cheeks. He's not a poor man's Matt Schaub, he's a penniless bum's Schaub. No toughness, poise or arm strength. 11 TDs and 14 interceptions on his career, and he's owed a shit ton of money. To enter the season with Kolb as your starting QB is questionable enough, but to go out of your way to acquire him is retarded.

They gave up way too much value for a bottom 10 QB. Giving up anything at all is too much for Kolb, really.

He doesn't have to be. The eagles have their #1 corner, already.

 

[Bmore]

Maybe it's just me, but if anything I thought DRC = Kolbs value.

Didn't think they should have added a 2nd rounder. :/

Kevin Kolb's $60M deal with $21M guaranteed very similar to Aaron Rodgers deal in 2008. Both had 7 starts prior to deal.

1 of the best jobs in sports is being Michael Vick's backup. Look how it paid off for Matt Schaub and Kevin Kolb

I've got a black DRC jersey for sale to any Eagles fans...you motherfuckers.

Terrible trade for Arizona. DRC + PP coulda been deadly in the desert.

Seriously? I love when sports analysts make comparisons based on ridiculous crap like this. None of the above has anything to do at all with how they play on the field.

Weird, he seemed to play alright in that game?

 

[EmpireWF]

If they weren't getting Kolb, who were the options to start at QB for Arizona?

Yeah. Always good to base your assessment of a QB on one game.

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.

No it doesn't. You have to be really low on energy to let this move energize you. The rest of your post is full of so much wrong as well, I'm just too lazy to give it a proper FT multiquote.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Kolb gonna show some of yall haters some things next year. :lesmug:

Me? no. I'm a Packer fan for life and have been since i was a little kid growing up in LA after the Rams and Raiders took off. The people in this city? yes absolutely. I mean, if you really think that my experiences watching football at the bar every week, watching the nightly news, speaking to co-workers and the desperation ive seen from the fanbase is "wrong" well, I dont know what to tell you. Cardinal fans are a special kind of battered wives.

What the fuck did you even just say? I'm so confused.

I am not disputing that the Cardinals fans want to win, I'm sure they do. I'm just telling you that you are grossly misrepresenting how much excitement Kevin Kolb will generate.

You really said that he will contribute to sell outs and have jerseys flying off the shelves?
