ReutersCardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb was lost for the season with a concussion on December 11, and he said he was still feeling symptoms more than a month later. But that doesn’t have Kolb worried about concussions going forward.
Kolb told the team’s website that he will wear a different helmet this season that he thinks will give him more protection because it has more padding in the back of the head, where “most of the concussions come from.” Other than changing helmets, Kolb says he hasn’t spent much time this year thinking about concussions.
“I don’t worry about them,” Kolb said. “It was a freak deal. They don’t happen all the time.”
It’s true that concussions don’t happen all the time, but they have happened more often than Kolb would like: He also missed time with a concussion in 2010, when he played for the Eagles. But Kolb said he expects to be healthy in 2012.
“If something comes up I’ll worry about it then,” Kolb said. “Right now, my head is clear and I know I will be in the league a long time.”

His first concern should be trying to win the starting job…… After last season, Skelton looks better than Kolb.
He’ll be perfectly healthy because Skelton will be starting
Did it come in the shape of a clipboard?
It’s made of cloth, has a brim, and comes with a matching head set.
Skelton getting work with the first team today. Truly a competition at QB.

Kolb is right, it is a freak deal. But when they happen to him, they tend to go a long way in totally ruining his life and position as starting quarterback for whatever team he is on, so he should be a little worried about them, at least.

His poor play doesn’t help much either.
Not many concussions are received riding the pine.
Kolb just cannot get a break in my view. He was the Eagles starter for two quarters..losing his job due to injury and Vick going Beast Mode for a few weeks. Then he goes to AZ and learns a new system in the lockout year, has some injury problems, etc. And now the genius Card fans are calling for friggin John Skelton. It’s a good thing he’s rich, because that’s a lot BS to deal with.
Sounds like Kolb is still suffering from the concussion………………….man what a loser.
