Kolb trade took time as #Cardinals wanted to agree on a deal. Kolb & #Cards reportedly agreed on a 5-year, $63M deal with $20M guaranteed.

Getting waaaay too much money.

Report: Deal done. #Eagles trade QB Kevin Kolb to #Cardinals in exchange for CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2nd round pick. #NFL

His performance in AZ has been that bad already huh?

Nah. It's just that I don't think he's done enough in his career to deserve such a contract. I guess QB starving teams will throw cash around for what they hope will be their franchise guy.

Just messing w/you...I know what you meant.

I agree...I hope he plays up to that money but it is a stretch.....and a pretty big one.

It's a risk I wouldn't want my team to take unless they were sure about the guy.

But they really didn;t have a choice. Larry wanted him there and if they didn;t make him happy he would be out soon, so they would be left without a WR and a QB.

I agree with most of you.

He is good but not that good, IMHO.

I guess i will see him start in the opener against us.

To be honest I don't think anyone knows if he is even good. I think he is more of a product of the organization that he has been groomed in. Cardinals will really have set themselves back if he doesn't work out.

lol kolb is so mediocre, he looked mediocre in an offense that can make any QB look good, and the cardinals trade a top tier corner and a 2nd round pick for him

eagles did nothing but improve with this trade, even if vick gets hurt they can have anybody behind him play as good as kolb

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
