Arizona-Philly deal done. Kolb for DRC+2nd Round Pick

[1ke]

I think this is awfully dumb for AZ. Alot of money for someone less proven than Caleb Haine.

 

[Hasselbeck]

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

Why not, you seem ready to call him terrible after 7

 

[Diivox]

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?

:jonesy:

Yeah. I really said that. You can't stutter on the internet. I've lived here about 8 years off and on. and yes, the fanbase is going to be super energized by this.

what exactly is the problem here? I'm a Phoenix local expressing how well it's going to be recieved, and is already being recieved. They sold out that stadium with Derek Anderson under center, but they came dangerously close to losing that all important sellout streak last year. If they had mailed in another year, it wouldn't have kept going. Kevin Kolb has been generating excitement in the Valley during the entire offseason. I can't remember the last time I went out with friends and didn't overhear at least one person say "Once we get Kolb, we'll be in business" when football comes up. ProFootballTalk has been posting the rumors about it all year long. I don't understand how my personal experiences can be "wrong".

If only he played football in college!

Anyway, He sucks. You can quote that.

LOL, Pete editing posts like a faggot (again) ...

:troll: <---Pete

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

I agree Cardinals gave up too much, but I think they're gonna be happy with Kolb.

 

[Hogle]

it's not a 2nd rounder, they traded drc, a 6th, and a 7th rounder

 

[Len B]

Agree with Kuzzy. I'm on the Kolb train and all of you slobs can get run over. Not a bad thing when you have Fitzgerald to guide you into the spot.

Can you please tell me what it is you like about him? Just wondering.

Every report says it's a 2nd. Where you getting your news from?

 

[Juggernaut]

Gave up too much, it's a shame that they gave up DRC. Him and Patrick could have been great together. Shame.

 

[Wrath]

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

Thats exactly why they had to do this deal.
I am rooting for Kevin and hope he suceeds myself.

 

[SHOGUN]

:smh:

They sign Scrabble.

against who? sam bramford? alex smith? the division can be won at 7-9. Kolb is already the best QB in the division, and you dont need corners against the shit starting at qb in the West. Kolb gets them legitimacy, and aside from a bleeding defense, that team is ready to go. a 3-4 that never got finished in SF, and a bunch of no names in Seattle (which wont matter, because they decided to go chillyball, which is about as unproven as reagonomics), and a kid who looks like he just jumped off the short bus and into a rams uniform.

this was the only move they can make, fairly or unfairly, to keep free agents from saying "you know what fuck you, no matter how much money you pay me, you got no quaterback and your defense has been losing talent for years. thanks, but no thanks (and they're probably being offered more money elsewhere anyway)

:jonesy:

I would put him second and maybe even tied for that position with tavaris jackson

lol at best in the NFC West

Bradford has that shit on lock :dealwithit:

 

[Diivox]

[/IMG]

greatest melt down since Dennis Green.

Bradford has that shit on lock :dealwithit:

Bradford couldnt even beat the Seahawks for the division title on the line. Bradford let a 7/9 team into the playoffs for the first time in history.

choke the fuck down on your Kolb haterade, this was the ONLY move Phoenix could have made and you'd understand this is if you had any clue about how it is here. who the fuck were they gonna bring in at that point? McNabb? gone. Hasslebeck was already gone. even Tarvaris fucking Jackson was already gone at this point. Shit. TYLER THIGPEN WAS ALREADY GONE. THere was nothing left that could have improved the QB, the position they needed by far over anything else was QB and there and there was no other choice, especially, when it's been known all year long that the deal was inevitable.

here.

let me illustrate because people dont seem to grasp english around here.

nuff said.

not ready, only kept on the roster because he's a hometown QB (played in Mesa, next town over from here). and all preseason long people were like "FUCK IT, START MAX HALL, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD ONE GOOD GAME AGAINST VANILLA DEFENSES IN THE THIRD PRE SEASON GAME".

John Skelton? dude sounds like hes a fucking haloween costume. who is he exactly?

and please for the love of christ dont try to justify either of these glorified camp arms as starters. they tried that last year. people gave up in the Cardinal bars by week 6.

Look, I have no disrespect for anyone on this board except for killgod or goblinslayer, and thats simply because neither of them bothered to offer me any respect at all before we had even interacted, and because they act like their shit doesn't stink. I Just really feel like Kolb to AZ is the same move as Matt Schaub to Houston, which that was even probably a high price too, and none of you crucified that move. Furthermore, AZ, the team, the front office, and the players in the locker room are going to be extremely happy with the MOVE, even if the results dont work out. For the first time since i was old enough to understand football (or at the very least, since Jake Plummer) Bidwell is actually fucking trying, which is worth any price if you want to keep the fanbase and their money.

[theMINI]

:jonesy:

To be fair, they have been a lot more competitive this year than last year. Kolb was a huge upgrade.

 

[corbin]

Kolb's doing fine statistically, he's turning the ball a little more than I'd like but he's also on pace for over 4,000 yards and 20 touchdowns. That's an absolute upgrade over any of the garbage we had on the field last year.

We bring in a brand new QB with no off-season and less than a season of experience under his belt and expect him to wonders. Developing a QB takes time, he still needs to get comfortable with his WR's and line.

P.S. Levi Brown is the worst tackle in the NFL and should be cut, we'd be better off carrying an extra long snapper than waste a roster spot on him.
