The Facts:
If the pundits are correct, then Kolb is likely headed to Arizona once the moratorium on trades is lifted, probably for a couple of second-round draft choices. There are still some concerns about Kolb among Arizona coaches. They note that Kolb has thrown more interceptions (14) than touchdown passes (11) in his brief playing time. They wonder about his decision-making. But mostly the Cardinals' brass wonders if Kolb is the right fit for coach Ken Whisenhunt's offense.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kolb averaged only 6.46 per pass attempt in his five starts in 2010. Until last season, when the Cardinals were forced to roll with sub-par starters (including a pair of rookies) at various times, the Arizona passing game averaged over 7.0 yards per attempt under HC Ken Whisenhunt. The number dropped to just 5.81 yards last year. In theory at least, the Arizona passing design is more vertical than that in Philadelphia, takes some pages from the Mike Martz passing game and expects QBs to drive the ball into the intermediate and deep windows with accuracy. ... As the Sports Xchange suggests, at age 27 (in August), Kolb could solve the Cardinals' QB problem for a long time if he's the right guy. Now it appears that team officials just have to convince themselves he's the right guy.
