[...] it wasn’t a surprise. Everyone covering this team has been saying the same thing, that the $11 million Kolb is owed in 2013 (a $2 million roster bonus in March and a $9 million salary) was never going to make it to [...]

Seriously Gafex, you think that Kolb has the ability to be a franchise QB. Look at the trend and successes in the NFL. Speedy, big, mobile QB’s. Cut our losses, save the money and find a new QB. O-Line with a quality QB is the only way we will build a consistant winning franchise!

Nailed it with that SQhead…
“If you are going to keep Kolb you better bring in a coach that runs a westcoast style offense. That’s what he played in in college and Philly. He is good at it. Trying to fit a system to players that can’t run it was Whiz’s downfall. It is a lot easier to change coaching staffs than it is to change whole rosters. If Whiz wasn’t so stubborn he might still have his job”

Harbauragh basically played to Alex Smiths strengths, they have a fantastic line, and a more than solid running back situation. Kolb got hammered behind that line.
Draft a better Oline, get a westcoast guy to coach a west coast QB. and the team may actually get good very quickly. Alex Smith is no the answer, your all delusional if you think that.

You do realize kolb was in most of the game and Kolb was the one who kept it tied right? Skelton got the ball as far as he could wich was field goal distance and missed. Then Skelton threw the game losing int. so your almighty smarts are actually wrong.

OK – maybe I should have said spend the money Wisely, we gave up the farm for Kolb and it’s gotten us nowhere. Washington gave a bunch of high picks and ended up with good value

RE: “Spend the money”

Spend it on who? Are you actually trying to say the reason the Cards haven’t improved their QB is because they are cheap? Because that’s not the reason.

Spend the money for a quality QB, no one has confidence in Kolb, Give Horton a chance, he has done a Great Job on D. Andy Reid had the “Dream Team” and couldn’t make the playoffs, what makes anyone think he could do better here?

Tim Tebow will come if you build it (McCoy). Look what McCoy did with him in Denver .
