While it wouldn’t be football season without making a joke of the Cards, they aren’t as bad as all that! This is a team with tons of raw talent but bad personnel management. The O-line is terrible and if that were fixed Skelton has the leadership and physical athleticism to get the job done with the help of a good defense,Larry Fitz, good TEs and special teams. The blame always gets directed at the QB but in this instance even Drew Brees wouldn’t help. It’s too bad that the Cards weren’t able to get Todd Haley back as an Offense Coordinator. This team has good depth and isn’t really any worse than the Jets, Phins, Jags, Lions, and a few others. Preseason doesn’t really tell anything and once the roster is set, the Cards will come alive. If all fails, I vote for Brett Favre…Travaris Jackson got snapped up in a nano second, if anybody was paying attention!

Lets call it the St. Louis Curse…The only way to cure is to give back St. Louis the Cardinal name so it is no longer deviled in Arizona.

Rumors are that the Eagles have offered Mike Kafka to the Cardinals for a 2nd round draft pick. The Cardinals have not ruled out accepting the offer.

Don’t even think about getting a new quarterback til you fix that offensive line. If you do this then Kolb and Skelton will get you to the playoffs on the coattails of the rest of the team. The real question is can any quarterback survive the season without injury with the current offensive line?

I feel bad for Larry F. This team is bad. Period. Aaron Rodgers would not have 11 TDs if he played on this team unless than line gets better. Kolb will end up a greasy spot on the ground. A skid mark on a crappy team.

How so u feel bad for Fitz he has pretty much been the GM the past two years. He lobbied for Kolb & Floyd and he got his wish. Kolb & Floyd, while neglecting to revamp the o-line

It dosent matter who you get as qb , because the cardinals have no one to protect the blideside ….

Like some have suggested, Arizona’s issue is the Offensive Line I think more than the QB. I saw it last year and they haven’t done enough to invest in quality lineman. Kolb and Skelton would be better with a decent line and decent running game. No amount of TJack, Hasselbeck or Matt Moore will suddenly make the Cards a contending team.

No way the Seahawks trade Jackson to Arizona. Also no way they outright cut him and allow Arizona to just go get him freely. I’m no cap expert but last I heard the Hawks still have cap room and doesn’t seem likely they really need to dump his salary. Though also understood that no team wants to pay that money to a 2nd stringer let alone a 3rd string trade-bait QB. My bet is Philly or Jacksonville or some team like that will trade for TJack to be a 2 string QB in a deal where he has to restructure the contract.

Why is EVERYONE naming QB’s left and right? I would be hollering out LT’s before QB’s. Did anyone watch the game? Or just going off of headlines? I dont know which Offensive line is worse, them or the Jets. It doesnt matter who is throwing the ball, when that person has no protection what so ever.

If your gonna throw QB’s out there as to who AZ should pick up, why not mention a left handed QB? At least then he could see his LT get beat 80% of the snaps and either step way up or take off to the left.

Ryan Mallett might be available for a first or two.

He made backup OL and WRs look ok against the Eagles first team defense!

(that’s more than Kolb has done in a Cardinals uniform!)

On a serious note … Of all the backup QBs coming out of training camp, The best so far in preseason games have been in Seattle, Philly, NY (Giants of coarse) Chicago, and Buffalo, Of those Backups the one that Arizona really has a shot with is the Buffalo bills backup Vince young. He has the best arm of the bunch and can run for his life… A prerequsite for playing behind that awefull line… The Bills dont really want to cut their third back up and they dont want to keep Vince because he has outplayed their starter so far and to avoid any QB contraversy when Ryan struggles it would behoove them to unload Vince now for a future draft pick. The Seahawks have really screwed over Travaris Jackson by not playing him in the preseason… for someone who was your starter the least you could do is give him some third string garbage tome for teams looking in the trash heap…

Maybe the Cards should just fold and give up entirely…when you’re reduced to being excited over the possible pickup of T-Jackson that’s when you know things are really bad.

I hope Beanie, Williams, and the D can win! The Ravens won with Dilfer for God’s sake!!

i don’t think the cards need to bring in a veteran qb. they need to make splashes on the O-line. and then draft a QB next year.

Daunte Culpepper is busy playing rec softball in the Miami area. I’m not kidding, and he is good.

BTW, based on their 3 pre-season games so far, the Cards really need a real NFL Offensive Line instead.

Just a reminder – when the Cards traded for Kolb, the said they traded for a veteran QB.

Jason Campbell or Ryan Mallett would be a good fit for the cards. Both are still young and have strong arms, only thing is Mallett is slow as a snail.

Don’t understand why the cards have a hard time finding a QB when there are plenty of guys to choose from. I feel sorry for LFG if he has to go another year without a legitimate QB to throw him the ball. The cardinals organization is not dealing their cards right, if T-Jacks is the best you can come up with, that’s a shame

Kyle Boller would probably come out of retirement.

Maybe LaDanian Tomlinson can play QB.

It couldn’t be more obvious.. Irsay is trading Luck for Larry Fitzgerald..

Seriously, the West Coast offense has made too many quarterbacks look way better than they rightfully are. IE Aaron Rodgers, Kolb, Matt Flynn, Mike Kafka, Michael Vick 2.0, Nick Foles, Jeff Garcia, Elvis Grbac, Rich Gannon…… I like any of these guys in the west coast offense but the system makes guys look like first ballot hall of famers. Arizona traded the house for Kolb knowing he played in a QB friendly system.. Bad personnel moves over and over again..

That said, I thought Kolb would play well as a starter but then again, I don’t get paid to know better..

Are they still interested in Phil Simms?
