I'm guessing the Eagles have a decent backup plan if they are willing to move Kolb. I know they got a nice haul in return for him, but there is no way Vick plays all 16 games. They must have a Vince Young or someone else in mind that can be a capable backup, because betting on Vick for a full season is crazy.

On the Cardinals end, they had to do something. They are in a very winnable division and there quarterback play was pretty bad last year. And while they had to give and good young player and a high pick to get him, this is the state that the NFL is in right now. Teams are going to overpay for any kind of quarterback that has any chance of being a solid starter.

Ok, he took away $36 Million, fleeced the front office on April 1st (April fools) last year for $21 million. Was that not enough for what he put on the field?

Yes, but Haynesworth didn't cost us a 2nd rounder and a starting CB. Had there been no cap-less year, then we would be in trouble right now. But besides money, there hasn't been that big of a damage from the Haynesworth fiasco.

If Kolb fails, it would set back AZ for a year or two. It would wast a year of Larry Fitzgerald. You lose the guaranteed money, which affects your cap. And you lose a starting CB and a 2nd rounder. That is a lot of damage gambling on a guy that only started 7 games.

True, but we're still kinda comparing apples and oranges here. AH was a bad signing by any stretch, but the Skins didn't have a Lombardi in mind after they signed Haynesworth.

The Cards have the entire franchise riding on Kevin Kolb and he hasn't proven at this level that he's capable of delivering on such a promise. All it would take is a few non-playoff appearances for someone in AZ to be on the hot seat.

I'd say $20M and a player is a steep price for a QB with 7 starts.

What's this got to do with AH anyway?

If Kolb is the real deal then Arizona won this trade.

If not, look out.

It's always about Haynesworth. Even though one case has NOTHING to do with the other. Bitter fans that just can't let go. Someone last night brought Jason Campbell out of nowhere. I'm afraid this will happen all season.

Isn't Kevin Kolb from Texas? I thought that all of you Texas boys stuck together.

Oh, I so hope that your response has something to do with DFS and the BS term "America's Team".
