Geez, guys, what you think, that we're gonna trade out draft away for Tom Brady to back up Drew?! C'mon. Kolb is a very serviceable backup, particularly when he's healthy (which he hasn't been in AZ while he and the stable of QBs there were getting sacked to death). He has shown that if you give him a couple seconds in the pocket and some decent receivers then he can do something decent. It's all about coaching, too. I don't think that anyone would argue that Andy Reid and Sean Payton aren't much better coaches than Ken Whisenhunt. I wouldn't mind seeing Kolb get a chance in the black & gold as long as the price is right.

What we need is an injection of drama to clear away the "Bounty Gate" fog. I thought I saw Benson's jet headed toward Kiln, Mississippi!! LOL

dont over pay, if Brees is hurt we are done for anyway. Get some average cheap guy.

If, god forbid, something were to happen to Brees, then we just need a guy to lose as many games as possible to improve our draft position.

It hasn't happened yet, but it's a virtual sure thing that current Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb will be former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb sooner than later. Kolb is due a $2 million roster bonus on Saturday, and carries a $13.5 million cap number in 2013 as part of the onerous six-year, $63.5 million contract he signed in July of 2011. New head coach Bruce Arians and new general manager John Keim have no specific ties to Kolb, though Keim was in Arizona's front office when the deal was made, and Arians no doubt would like to move on from a hyper-expensive quarterback who has started just 14 games and thrown just 17 touchdowns in his two seasons with the team.

Where would Kolb go upon his release? Believe it or not, there's a lot of fire behind this smoke: Rumors that he could indeed compete for and win the starting job with the New York Jets have quite a bit of weight to them. New Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg filled that same position for Andy Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2007, when the Eagles selected Kolb in the second round out of Houston.

If Brees got hurt the next quarter of the same game we'd need 3rd string. The guy is garbage and gives up. I think that's my biggest issue with him.

Heck I would give up too when you're line can't block for **** and you're taking a beating. LOL

I can understand your point. Here is mine; He has the talent, he has the experience and would learn under Brees. And as for the 3 million that would be over 3 years. We would pay that for a scrub off the street.
