It is a lot.

Think of the good side: In a year or two, Kolb will supplant Rob Johnson as the gold standard for overpaying for QB's who haven't proven anything.

Ask the folks on this board and many would say that he's the next great thing.

Not to mention the 65M contract with over 22 guaranteed.

Insane but people get desperate for QB's, like we did for RJ and Bledsoe years back and overpay.

Eagles get a solid CB and a high pick. They win this trade.

The money he got is very similar to what Aaron Rodgers signed for a few years ago. Rodgers also had 7 career starts when he signed the deal.

They must really like the kid to commit to him like that. They had to spend the money anyway so that doesn't bother me, but they must be sure he is going to become a good QB to trade for him like that.

He does get to play in the NFC West. That should help him a ton.

Philly seems to be putting a lot of faith in the Mike Vick experiment.

Him being great two years in a row is a gamble.

The Cardinals drafted Peterson this year who's arguably better than Cromartie. In terms of a 2nd Round pick. Meh the Seahawks gave up that for Whitehurst and Kolb appears to be better. I think it's fair for Kolb's potential.

His QB rating is in the 70's and has thrown more INT's than TD's in his career.

Thats a lot to give up and pay for him. He has a lot of pressure on him now.

A lot of rumors have them signing Vince Young to backup Vick. Makes sense in that they are similar in style.
