Kolb in walking boot, might have turf toe

[cardsfanmd]

We already had that situation a couple of years ago. Leinart was the starter, broke his collarbone and that's when Kurt came in and started playing like his old GSOT self. After which Whis said, "players don't lose their job due to injury."

Will you please stop? We get it, it's the new fad to hate on Whiz and blame as much as possible on him. What Whiz said was that the two would have an open battle in camp. Maybe this had to do with Leinart being a top 10 pick, an encouraging rookie year and the the front office wanting to see what they had there before extending him or Kurt?? Whiz made the right call there and ended up giving Warner the nod anyhow so what is your point?

His point is, clearly, that in another year Skelton will be taking us to the Super Bowl, duh!!!

Or maybe this: Kolb is benched. Skelator starts and breaks his collarbone after a couple of games and Kolb comes back and next year Kolb takes us to the Super Bowl.

 

[chickenhead]

It will be interesting to see some more of Skelton. But a win over St. Louis doesn't win him the start in Philly, and not because starters "don't lose jobs to injury." I think it'll be a case of the coaching staff deciding who gives the Cardinals the best shot at winning in Philly. (Kind of a scary question). It'll be interesting to see Kolb in Philly. Will he be able to take advantage of their tendencies? More likely it seems they will be able to take advantage of his.

In any case, welcome back QB musical chairs!

Haven't we seen this movie before?

A struggling QB goes out and his backup plays well enough to win a few games.

The GM thinks that the problem is the coach and convinces the owner that he's correct. This conversation saves the GM's job. They fire the head coach.

They hire a new coach who promises that a new day has arrived. He might even have a chart that shows how many games he's won in the past. The past turns out to not be a very good predictor of the future.

The next offseason the team has won enough games to be out of the franchise QB sweepstakes. So they draft for need and take a LOT
projected to go in the mid-to-late first round at #3. He sucks. The second round pick is injured in training camp and cut the next year, the third is cut after the first pre-season game, the fourth is jailed for selling crack to a cheerleader and only the fifth round selection is NFL quality. He leaves the team after 4 years to "play for a contender". We get nothing for him in return.

Graves swears we are in year 3 of a five year rebuilding program.

He's lying.

Rinse & repeat.

Excuse me but is this the SAME Whis who jettisoned the QB in waiting for the DA / Max Hall death from above aerial extravaganza?

You should be sure to mention all that it will have great effect on the credibility of your ideas.

I was on the Whis bandwagon right up until that fiasco shot me off into the weeds mid drink of my koolaid. I can understand and always sort of did understand as a child understands why you don't cross a busy street why Warner beat out Matt.

What I can't still to this day figure out is how Kolb, DA, Max Hall are better or how anyone, even for mere seconds, could think this is able to draw a paycheck in the NFL.

Only on THIS team could you get the cache to make that move, hire the eventual replacement of said QB for 62 million dollars who is almost a poor mans clone of said QB other than he throws right handed and has a weaker arm and panics faster and is shorter, and retain your job.

It's nearly a cosmic convergence of karma.

I think it would be apropo for John Lennon's version of 'Instant Karma's gonna get you' played on a continuous loop during the pregame.

First off, we both know Kolb sure as hell doesn't have a weaker arm than Leinart. Not even close. Secondly, Matt didn't lose his job for on-field play. He was a sackless wonder, his teammates knew it and Whiz knew it. This is why I was one of 3 pissed people on here when we drafted him. Granted I started to change my mind after a few years but it appears as though he never changed. Did you a single teammate of his complain when he was let go? Please just go watch the MTV Punked episode of him the year he was drafted and you'll see what I mean.

If this is true why did they keep Leinart around for 4 years and a a preseason with an older than normal starting QB? Why would they need to wait until 2010, his 5th year in the league, to see what they had in Leinart?

Well, it was the Cardinals front office so maybe it did take them 5 years to see that Leinart wasn't the QBOF and he was popular and sold tickets so maybe that was it?

Anyone else hear Gambo yesterday saying he hoped that this was a bad injury and would keep Kolb out for a while?

I sent Gambo (and Ash at the time) a line during the trade negotiations for Kolb saying how I thought he was no better than Orton and they tore me to shreds for it, now 7 games later and Gambo has given up on him.

In addition to turf toe, Kolb has mid-foot sprain in other ligaments and a bone bruise. It's not a Lis Franc injury.

I think he should sit this week.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

For a brief few minutes I was watching Seattle & Cincy today and was thinking how they tried to trade for Whitehurst...that guy is TERRIBLE. He was benched for Jackson halfway through the game.

Does this coaching staff have any clue when it comes to scouting QBs? I think there is some serious lack of judgement there.

Nope. This is why I feel Leinart would have done just fine here.... lol

 

[nashman]

Leinart would have won us the division last year IMO . But as we all are beginning to realize is how clueless this coaching staff is. Kolb will probably end up getting traded and or cut next year only to go play well somewhere else in a SYSTEM that actually works! Whizs' system sucks ass and doesn't work at all and the more he says it the dumber the clown looks I can't believe the team has just tuned the moron out already. Only in cardinal land what a joke...
