Skelton didn't look all that bad last year. Decisions like signing Kolb are the kind that get coaches fired. Bye-bye Whisenhunt.

Yeah, that's a lot of money for a guy that was a decent backup in Philly and very average as a starter.

Considering that Kolb turned out to be nothing more than Andy Reid's way of delivering the "we don't need you anymore" telegram to Donovan McNabb, it's not surprising that Kolb turns out to have a career as a backup QB no matter where he goes.

Kevin Kolb sucks.
Why is this news to anyone, let alone professional NFL scouts?

Coaches don't sign players. They aren't executives.

GimpyNip: This headline is retarded.

Yeah. First off, it was a trade not a free agent signing. Second, Kolb wasn't the most sought-after QB in the offseason. Only the Cardinals were interested in Kolb, most other teams in need of a QB wanted Orton.

How do teams keep falling for Philly QBs performing well in their system? They managed to get a 2nd round pick for AJ Feeley, a 2nd and conditional 3rd/4th for an ancient McNabb, and now a 2nd/solid corner for Kolb. Is Andy Reid sending NFL GMs spiked wine or something?

The funny thing is that those QBs aside from McNabb all performed pretty terribly. Feeley didn't do jack squat, Kolb put up good yardage numbers but he did so throwing 40 times a game and also threw more picks than TDs. I don't know why people thought either Feeley or Kolb was going to be anything special, they both looked mediocre.

How are they winning games with a quarterback that barely completes half his passes and has more picks than TDs? How do you only complete half your passes when you've got Larry Fitzgerald as a target?

Except the key there is the turnovers. It is pretty crazy that a QB throws more INTs than TDs and yet his team wins. That's why the Broncos have been winning - they have a QB that hasn't been turning the ball over very much while he's been producing TDs.

Does he have an ancestor named Red?

merkey88: If you said that about Tebus, you'd be hung for blasphemy

I don't think Tebow's going to keep winning anywhere near the rate he is, but at least he hasn't thrown many picks and he's probably the best running QB in the league. Skelton is mobile enough that defenses have to worry about it a little, but he's not a runner like Tebow.

Same story played out in KC with Cassell.

What's funny is that, whenever someone would say that Kolb was Bobby Hoying 2.0, one of the immediate responses was "He was the first QB to throw for 300+ yards in his first two games!" or whatever that stupid stat was. Because, you know, lots of yards (and ignoring the bad passes and should-have-been-INTs that were thrown) in a small sample size is a great way of measuring how good a QB will be.

Fitzgerald wanted Kolb. Cardinals sign Kolb then ink Fitzgerald for the remainder of his career. Cardinals paid a premium to Kolb to lock up Fitz. Skelton will be opening day starter in 2012 if Fitz allows it.

I like that his last name is kinda like "Skeleton"

Stupid Cardinals! The last time you signed a QB who couldn't start for another NFL team it was a complete clusterfark too!



YOU IDIOTS!

Yo Arizona, we'll trade you Asante Samuel for Kolb.

This is not a repeat from TIM TEBOW

Where are all of the "experts" castigating Seattle for not picking up Kolb now, I wonder? Hell, even Tarvaris Jackson is doing better than he is.

whizbangthedirtfarmer: Where are all of the "experts" castigating Seattle for not picking up Kolb now, I wonder? Hell, even Tarvaris Jackson is doing better than he is.

This has been mentioned on KJR up here quite a bit. The point being that all of the sought after QB's are doing worse than Tarvaris.

Seattle fan here.

Arizona won't fire Wisenhunt. With such a depleted team and using a backup for most of the season, he's managed to win 5 of 6 to reach .500? Yeah, honestly, you guys have a really good coach there and who knows, maybe Kolb rebounds next year.

At least he isn't Caldwell.

I did move here before division realignment. There are just two weeks a year that I can't root for Seattle.

I try to catch the game every year at Qwest (it's still not century link to me) and I've traveled for the last two Cardinals MNF games which I try to do whenever and wherever they play.

C'mon Skelton!

I still think people who want him fired from the Arizona Cardinals are high. He's the best coach the team has had since they moved to the valley.

We're gonna bring back Dave "We'll See" Mcginnis! Surely he can lead us to the superbowl!

Hey man, he was who we thought he was!

"You've got a winner in town."- Buddy Ryan

Anyone who wants Whiz fired from the Cardinals is an idiot. If this was a normal season with a normal offseason and the Cardinals made the same moves they did, they would be neck and neck with the 49ers for the division title. Hell, it could be argued that they should be 9-5 right now if they didn't fark up the Giants and Ravens games.

That's what it was, how could I forget that?

On the subject though the teams done a hell of a job turning that ship around midseason and watching the defense finally get it and just turn it up to 11 and I really don't think Whiz should be fired either.

You make this sound like it's an accomplishment.

Nah.
