Cardinals give up huge bounty to acquire Kolb

That's a straight robbery. A young, pro bowl corner and a second round pick for a guy who's started 7 games, and then they give him $20M in guarantees? Huge leap of faith by Arizona.

Huh?

If he tells me he were to tell me that he is in fact not from Texas. "Displaced Fan Syndrome"

I am referencing Beer league for the "America's Team" part.

orton is the only starter available... don't like kolb, and hate that price. bad deal, and philly gets an early draft pick and a fairly cheap (no SB) CB?

double boo.

eagles seem to have made out like bandits so far, but we'll see around week 10 who the real winner is. by then we'll know what kolb had to offer, and we'll probably have a look at who ever is backin up vick by then too. getting DRC is a great move, but not if you are giving up on the qb that was supposed to be your future. andy reid bet and won last year when dealing a qb, i have a feeling this one might bite him in the ass though

I know how this will pan out. Kolb will suck for 1.5 seasons with the Cards prompting them to release him at season's end. PHI signs him for nothing and he takes over for the then oft-injured and near-retired Vick. Ta-da...

I think all the hatred on this trade is a little baffling .. I live out here in AZ .. they sell out the stadium and the town is slowly becoming a football town .. you've got the BEST WR in the game, a great young RB from VT, a solid O and D line .. not to mention they drafted Peterson, probably the best player in the draft .. you've got to take a risk, so you go for a young talented QB ... DRC is a beast however he gets burned a shit load, kinda reminds me of D-Hall without all the ball skills .... AZ is going big and trying to make another playoff run, what's so wrong about that ?:confused:

Just a lot to give up for a relatively unproven QB.

what's wrong with that?

it makes philly better on the field (top 22), AND gives them a high pick next draft. if another team make the move it'd be just as bad.

Well, it is only a 2nd rounder, and if Kolb takes them to the playoffs in that weak division it'll be a late 2nd rounder at that. They're right. If Kolb becomes a franchise qb for AZ, nobody will care that the Eagles got a 2nd rounder and DRC.
