Kevin Kolb

[Jersey Girl]

Gotta give the guy some props, and definitely think he deserves his own thread today.

17 of 24, 222 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, 127.4 QB rating.

Was so happy to see him have a great game and get a win against his former team.

 

[A fan who cares]

Let's hope he only gets better and better each week. He's the obvious starter over Skelton at this point.

Excellent game against a good defense. With our defense, you take those numbers every week if you can get them!!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Just Sports has his jersey for $30.00 in the discount rack right now. I wonder if they are going to pull them.

If Kolb can consistently play like this, we may be a legit playoff contender.

Word. I have never embraced Kolb since he came here, but the dude's been playing well lately. Keep it up!

Happily eating crow and hope he continues to make me do so!

I hear you. That's part of the reason I started the thread. Crow can be yummy.

Some dude in my section was wearing an Eagles Kolb jersey today. I think he was confused.

Kolb has done a very good job - played within himself, not trying to do to much, making the smart play, no turnovers!

Well done! Regardless of how you feel about Kolb/Skelton - you've got to love how they both are handling the situation as TEAM players!

 

[Goldfield]

I was going to start a similar thread.

Kolb is making a believer out of me. He is the clear cut starter right now, and was was on the Skelton ban wagon.

 

[az jam]

An excellent performance. He has done very well leading our team. Hats off to him!!!

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Blok is getting the job done, and his stats should have been better. He hit Ryan Williams, and Early Doucet right in the hands, and they dropped it.

Double Deuce is still my guy, but I cannot see how the Cardinals sit Blok. The guy is winning and that is all that matters.

#1 key for Kolb's success ? Stepping up in the pocket. He has made some big plays big doing that. His only poor drive of the day is when he did his old "chicken with the head cut off routine"

 

[BullheadCardFan]

He is managing the game better and is not looking scared any more. Much improved. Hope he can continue to build on this.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I think one should not really limit their approval of a QB by going "he is not very good, but he is a good game manager". If you think about it from a team standpoint and the traditional role of the position, that is exactly what the QB position was drawn up to be in football...hence a good game manager at the position, is a good QB. Kolb and especially Alex Smith have been good QBs. The game has changed over the years to endorse a high scoring game through the air where the QB becomes the star above others, but in the essence of the position it was never meant to be the main focus of scoring.

 

[Russ Smith]

I"m almost wondering if Kolb went to hypnosis and the therapist just told him step up Kevin, step up. It's remarkable every now and then he'll lapse back but the difference is stunning. He has simply made that one change step up in the pocket instead of back or right and it's completely changed his performance.

 

[Arizona's Finest]

This was the first game where he didn't leave any throws on the table. He made the ones he had too including the brilliant bomb to Fitz to make it 17-0. More importantly his slants were right on the money and guys were catching balls with zip in stride. It's been two years since I could say that.

Really happy for Kevin. This is the guy I thought we were getting. Gotta stay healthy but if he does hell improve game to game. his confidence is growing by the minute.

Doesn't look like we have the worst QB situation in the league anymore now does it???

Saying all that these 3 wins all lay at the feet of the defense and Horton. When Wilson was inactive I know I wasn't the only fan who gulped. injury like that would have KILLED us in years past. not anymore. goes without saying but This is the best Cardinals defense of my lifetime.

This picture makes him look like he's standing in someone's intestines.

I hope Kolb can keep playing within himself. We don't need him to be a guy that throws for 350 yards a game. We need him to be a guy that limits mistakes and takes what is given...just like it appears he did yesterday. Good on Kolb.

Yup.. I would go so far as to say that if Kolb does throw for 350 yds, our chances of winning go way down...

It's HUGE. ...but completely unsurprising. If schmucks like us can identify his problem, then professional coaches should be be able to fix it, IMO. Kudos to them to being able to successfully make the adjustment.

(fingers crossed that it sticks)

Very happy he is playing better than I thought he was capable of!!
