To: Cards Front Office, GET SOMETHING, ANYTHING, DONE NOW OR YOU WILL LOSE MORE THEN JUST FOOTBALL GAMES!!! No wonder there are so few of us Cardinals fans out there. You want to be a fan but they make it sooooo hard to be a cards fan. Please don’t make me hate this team!

Why do i get the feeling that Kevin Kolb will be The Eagles starter before November?

Um, care to give an example besides McNabb? I wouldn’t call it a “habit” if they only did it one time.

Wow… ~3 days post-CBA signing and you idiots are already thinking this trade has broken down. If that’s the case, why haven’t they made a deal for Orton yet? Or, why haven’t they signed Hasselbeck? Like someone said, there have NO trades yet. Has anyone thought that maybe, just maybe, the media had the pararmeters of the deal wrong all this time and they’re still negotiating? Besides, we’re talking the Cards and Bidwell here. They’ll probably do nothing and go with the Anderson/Skelton combo again.

Lets see Orton manages 1 win last year in one of the worst divisions in football Kolb is player of the week in three of his 6 starts …. hmmmm

When are people going to get Orton is the most average QB in th world. He can get you to 8-8 and thats it. e goes no further. AZ knows it. Hell the whole league knows it. And AZ would end up paying the older guy (albeit only 2 years older) who is as good as he is going to be more because he will want a new deal and he is already making 8 mill a year and itss till going to cost AZ a one or a two.

Folks this is all smoke screen the Eagles are calling the Cards bluff. I think the Eagles are asking for Peterson not DRC. We’ll see in the next few days. If the Eagles sign a corner then who knows whats going on but if they don’t then my guess is Kolb is still on his way to AZ

All you Eagle fans need to drop the bias. Look at the number, a qb who has shown potential in 6 games or a guy who has thrown 41 Tds to 21 picks in the last 2 season with no receivers. Kolb is not the better option.

Please, won’t some team in the NFC West save the Eagles from this horrible fate!

Why, if nobody trades for Kevin Kolb, the Eagles will just have to… keep him as their backup! It’s too horrible to think about, having a backup more talented than some team’s starters?

And without DRC, what will they do? It’s not like there’s some any sort of big-name free agent cornerbacks on the market…

Won’t somebody think of the children!

Nobody here in the AZ wanted Kolb for that much. We have always known and wanted Orton. It is Philly and the east coast biased media that wanted the Cardinals to overpay to make the Eagles a great team and the Cards mediocre. This is all the power of ESPN and not what was really happening.

Thanks guys. I know this was just for me. Schefter is a tool. Not for nothing, but we here in AZ believe Kolb is still here in the Phoenix area (we know he didn’t report). Anyway we still believe a deal can be done but not for DRC and a 1 or a 2. Big props to Seattle on that. Think TJac and Charlie will even show up to the stadium the weeks Pete starts Matt against us? Anyway Schefter also reported we signed Jeff King (Car) but nothing has been confirmed locally. Can you look into that? Cuz we would rather have Zach Miller or Todd Heap.

If the Patriots were the team who had flipped a past his prime McNabb and a hyped-up Feely, the story would be “The genius of Bill Belichik, knowing just when to release players or building a system where even AJ Feely can win games.”

But it’s the Eagles, so it’s “That slick walrus Andy Reid and his greedy robber-baron ways.”

Yeah, the Eagles, especially since young gun Roseman took over as GM, are always trying to squeeze other teams when negotiating trades. That’s why a lot of teams don’t like to deal with them. Wouldn’t be surprised if Cards go elsewhere.

Well if the Eagles weren’t asking for DRC AND A FIRST!!!!! What the hell Andy!!?! You know he aint worth that much, get the Cardinals balls out of your teeth and give them a reasonable deal for Christ sake. Or atleast offer them some picks along with Kolb. But holy crap your gonna lose this opportunity.

Even if Kolb is overrated, he is by far the best available QB. I would take him over Orton or McNabb any day. Especially since he is going to the worst division.

Kolb might be a great QB in the future, but there is little evidence to support this at this time. Charlie Whitehurst might be a great QB in the future, see above.

Orton: lost starting job to Rex Grossman.

Kolb: got hurt and lost starting job Vick playing out of his mind.

Tough choice.

OH NO! He didn’t get traded within the first 12 hours, must mean that teams aren’t interested or they are asking too much…What trades did happen in the first 12 hours? I think NONE! Anyone who follows the Eagles knows that they have a plan and they always stick to it! If he isn’t traded yet it is because they aren’t ready yet. So iron out your panties, they’re just a little bunched up!

By: bosshogg9ner

bosshogg9ner — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 03:27:35 +0000

Kolb wants out of philly! He doesn’t want to back up anybody! He’s not a proven starting qb and any team that signs him will be taking a huge risk. The cardinals are trash anyways, no qb will save that loser ass team. Vick is one bootleg hit away from a 6-8 week vacation. Hahaha

newagerocker says:Jul 26, 2011 10:54 PM Free Agents can’t practice until August 4th so they essentially have another week and a half to make a deal.

What part of trading players that are under contract has anything to do with CBA restrictions on when free agents can practice?

Orton: known quantity, cheaper than Kolb, low risk

Kolb: unknown quantity, expensive, high risk

Tough choice.

“It appears that the Cardinals have realized that the Eagles have a habit of flipping quarterbacks who never do as well elsewhere as they do in Philly.”

==========================

The dumbest trade ever was Miami trading a second for Feeley, or Feely, or however you spell it. Apparently the Cards are smarter than the Phins were. Eff the Eagles, I hope the Cards put the thumbscrews to them.

“isn’t done.” Yes.
“wasn’t done.” Duh.

“may never be done.” Aside from a few hours elapsing, and your minds, what else has changed between now and when “all signs pointed to Kolb joining Cardinals”?

——————————————-

Time changes everything.
And Seattle dropping out of the bidding process didnt help Kolbs stock at all.

The Eagles have a habit of what? McNabb was no good and everyone with eyes knew it. Feeley went to a terrible Dolphins team. He was no savior but could have helped a good team. Kolb is exactly what a team with real hopes needs.

My guess would be the Eagles have made the deal contingent upon them signing a decent FA backup. Why would they give Kolb up when they have no backup?

Kolb is TRASH !! waaaay over-rated !! glad the Cards got some sence in there bird brains !! Kolb could start in maybe Seattle, S.F or Cincy and maybe do avg no better !! NFC EAST Champs Dallas Cowboys !!

If they Eagles don’t get anything more than DRC, they should just keep Kolb for two more years (using Franchise if they have to). Kolb is probably somewhere between Matt Schaub and Matt Cassel, so no hurry on moving him for less than they want. Fitzgerald is so out of Arizona if his choice at QB isn’t filled..

By: mnfaninaz

mnfaninaz — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 03:04:55 +0000

If the Vikes aren’t rumored to want Kolb, you know he’s junk.

Kolb… never has a guy gotten more run for absolutely no reason in the history of football.

Matt Hasselbeck would be the best fit and most likely choice in Arizona.

Must have been a Jason LaCanfora report…

——————–

So true. La Canfora is a complete doucher.

Kolb has never looked “worth it” to me. Like I said in another comment, Orton is the guy I would be going after. I’d laugh my arse off if no one takes Kolb and he gets stuck with the Eagles. Maybe that would give this guy a reality check.

He has not earned a substantial salary nor a starting QB job. I’d take VY over him, at this point. And that’s sad.
