Kolb basically won his AZ contract though his performance under Reid. Kolb is already bought and paid for. Not saying Reid will make him good, but at least one might feel like he has a chance.

Kolb looked decent enough. He didn't impress me as a top echelon QB or anything, but he looked capable at the position.

Yeah, I'm not saying AZ should target Reid for the Kolb connection. I just don't see how a cards fan would be down on Reid for the Kolb connection.

You could go either way with that I think. If they weren't going to start Kolb because he wasn't the guy with the best upside, but they think Kolb can be a starter somewhere and they can get something for him, dealing him is best for the team and for Kolb.

Agreed. I believe Reid was disappointed he had to move him out of Philly - However, Reid did throw him under the bus - After Kolb was injured, he lost his starting job and never got it back. Although, Reid helped him get an amazing contract offer in AZ -

In his two seasons with the Cardinals, Kolb has been healthy for 15 games and had a series of injuries and concussions. He is owed $11 million if they decide to keep him. Not sure, the team will pay that kind of money to a quarterback that cannot stay healthy.

I will say this: Reid is a great quarterbacks coach. He will hire Marty Mornhinwig as an offensive coordinator and Juan Castillo as an offensive line coach.

Mornhinwig and Castillo are excellent offensive coaches.

All NFL:
2006 Offense Ranked 2 (*McNabb, *Garcia, Feeley)
2007 Offense Ranked 6 (*McNabb, Feeley)
2008 Offense Ranked 9 (*McNabb, Kolb)
2009 Offense Ranked 11 (*McNabb, *Kolb, Vick)
2010 Offense Ranked 2 (*Vick, Kolb)
2011 Offense Ranked 4 (*Vick, *Young, Kafta)

*Missed games due to injury


Goodbye Andy! Goodbye Mornhinwig! Goodbye Castillo! R.I.P. Jim Johnson.

Happy you are not coaching in the NFC East division.

Reid will now be tormenting Harbaugh.

See this is why I like Andy Reid, for at least a decade he dominated the NFCE. That is a tough devision to get along in. They beat each other up in that division more than any other imo. Andy did a super job in thad division & I think he would be great against rival teams in our division.

Wow, shit is messed up. I'm still hoping he gets off the market quick so Spanos won't even be tempted to hire him.
