As a PHI fan I love this trade. A 2nd round pick and Rogers-Cromartie in return.

a classic win-win situation. IMO helps both teams.Comment -
Kolb has talent and should help ARI, but I can't help but wonder if he'll turn out like AJ Feeley. PHI got a 2nd round pick for him from MIA and then he eventually found his way back to PHI as a productive backup. Will history repeat itself? I don't think so, but it's entirely possible.Comment -
I've been saying it all along... Eagles will be a tough team to beat this season... Now all they need is to make Desean Jackson Happy with a new Contract.Comment -
BTW, anyone now what Kolb's Contract is gonna look like?Comment -
DAMN for real? WOW, well I'm glad he got what he wanted... NOW I want to see him EARN every fukin penny, lots of people counting on him... I also hope he has good Chemistry with Fitzy...Comment -
Nov 13th ARI @ PHI

ya this trade definetly benefits both teams...but who is guna be mike vicks backup now?? not sure how healthy he will be on a consistent basis. he takes some big hitsComment -
great trade for both teams I believeComment -
Vince Young is signing with Philly. Kafka will be #3. Interesting pickup on Young if the rumors play out. Gives them another toy for their offense, I like it and the trade obviously was a win-win. Good luck to Kolb, better luck to Cromartie - should be a great DB opposite Asante!Comment -
Philly always gets the better end of the trades when they trade QB'sComment -
Kind of reminds you exactly of Vick when he came to Philly in that sense. Everyone said Jesus, I hope McNabb doesn't get hurt and look where we are now. I don't expect a great reclamation project like they got with Vick, but if there is a place where Young might "get it" - I think this is the place for him. Pretty low risk I think. If he shows no maturity, cut the bitch and bring in a competent replacement.Comment -
I agree it's low risk to get VY. He's not being counted on to be the leader which suits him much better. I trust whoever they bring in will be in good hands thanks to the coaching staff.Comment -
Nice move by both sides there.
PHI stregthens its defense yee haww.Comment -
why the cards sent rogercromartie and a 2nd for kolb, i still dont get it, they gave up too muchComment -
They also gave him a big badass contract which I don't think was necessary. I'm guessing Kolb and his agent put the screws to ARI which held up the trade announcement. Based on what they gave up they think he's a slam dunk franchise QB. I have my doubts...and PHI came away with a great return.Comment -
they want to keep fitzgerald. they need a qb to do that.Comment -
It's either win-win or Philly came out ahead. This reminds me a bit of AJ Feely. I think Kolb would do better throwing to former Cardinals Breaston and Boldin. He's more about timing and accuracy than airing it out and letting LJ play jump-ball.
I don't think Philly will take Vince Young or Brett Favre. Kafka is almost a Kolb clone, Philly coaches love him and I think that had a lot to do with Kolb's exit. If they do pick up a number two it will be some old journeyman to mentor to Kafka so he can start in a few years or be trade bait, not mimic Vick.Walter forgot... when you're desperate's when you got no choice.Comment -
yeah I guess with Vick there...there was no point of keeping KolbComment -
Is the Kolb acquisition really enough for ARI to retain Larry Fitzgerald at the end of the '11 season? We'll see in time, but I highly doubt this.Comment -
Kolb is a fighter. It's a great deal for Arizona.
I can see Kolb picking apart that Dallas secondary right now.Comment
