Well, well, well, Kevin Kolb has been given (and I do mean given) the starting position twice, and he’s still completing for the starting position……………..oh wait something about that doesn’t makes sense, let me try again. Kolb has been given (and I do mean given) the starting position twice and he’s still competing for the starting position. For some reason that still doesn’t make sense…….Get my point, Kolb is a bum, now that makes sense.

Always nice to see the troll Eagles fans on here ripping the Kolb trade and the Cards Franchise. Respect to the Eagles fans who actually say something that requires thought and providing insight about the trade or Kolb. Rip Kolb all you want but you can’t fault a team for trying to win and nutting up with a trade/big contract. DRC was expendable due to DC Horton’s defense requiring CB that can tackle. I’ll gamble a 2nd rounder and a big contract to try for a franchise QB. So it didn’t work out. Maybe next time we trade up in the draft. After years of sucking I’m just glad The Cards have turned it around and are trying to win and not just turn a profit. Props to Michael Bidwill and Rod Graves for trying. Go Cards!

They both suck. Of course it’s neck and neck.

Seriously what has Kolb EVER done to deserve to be named a starting QB in the NFL. He is earning millions and getting his name in articles FOR WHAT is beyond me. What has this turd done for any team or the league. #Eagles

Kolb and his $7M roster bonus will be under center week 1, this is all lip service and coach-speak.

How many Super Bowls have the Eagles won again? I mean, it must be more than the three the Redskins have, right?

If Kolb is even with Skelton then Kolb has already lost.

Beat the Eagles in the first game we played season before last. Crunched Vick’s ribs, too. Your post is invalid.

Going to be an interesting qb battle. I love Skelton but if Kolb is healthy I think he will get the nod.

Totally agree Bartel is a stud!

Rich Bartel? are you kidding me right now. We paid Kolb so we have to give him the chance to earn his stripes. But the way Skelton played last season, he definitely earned the right to a fair competition in a full offseason. I like Skelton a lot but after the money we threw at Kolb, you need to evaluate them both fairly and openly.

Haha! @trbowman, you are the same guy who thinks Brady Quinn medicine woman is a legitimate starting NFL quarterback right???

Kolb was only slated as the starter for one game in Phili.. He hasn’t done much.

By: trbowman

trbowman — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:12:12 +0000

Why is that coaching staff continuing to ignore its best quarterback, Rich Bartel?

When he goes out and outperforms Kolb and Skelton in preseason for the second straight year, will Whisenhunt then open his eyes?

I know they don’t want to admit such a huge mistake in the Kolb signing by going with Skelton, but based on 2011 it’s the right decision IMO. At least Fordham’s Finest has the nerve to rip it when the windows are tight and give his receivers a chance to make plays…Kolb crumbles under pressure. I think a lot of casual observers would say, “All I know is that after Skelton started playing last year, I finally saw Fitzgerald on Sportscenter highlights.”

Ummm the Cards passed on Cousins for at least 3 straight rounds , so in what universe would Arizona give up a 2nd & a 4th for mediocre Kirk ? Washington is trash , your fans are pigs that wear dresses , and you’ve finished last place in your division 4 years straight . Has your team even won a playoff game in this millennium ? Enjoy year 5 in the basement of the East ! Signed , the fans of the team you can’t beat , the Philadelphia Eagles

Good job cardinals you traded a second round pick and a very good corner to have the pleasure of a qb competition with a late round pick

Ahhhh, the constant search for an ‘elite’ QB in the NFL. Unfortunately, a couple years down the road neither Kolb nor Skelton will look like the answer & the Cardinals will still be searching for that missing player. Wisenhunt will be long gone & the names of the “new” savior of the franchise will have changed again.

So it goes for the bottom-dwellers.

Translation: Since we overpaid for sucky Kolb, we need to give him extra time to try get his game up to Skelton’s level.

Skelton can take a beating and keep on ticking; I think he will win it. The 9ers pounded him all game last year and he stood tall in that pocket and made some throws; Kolb can’t do that. Even if Kolb is a little more polished, Skelton can stay on the field and will catch and surpass Kolb.

I hope they choose Kolb and set their development back, but I think Skelton starts the year under center.

Teams got another thing coming if they thing the NFC West is weak this year…

You get Kirk Cousins. Redskins get 2nd and 4th. Problem solved, brother.
