Re: Cardinals give up huge bounty to acquire Kolb
 

I see what the Cardinals gave up for a relatively unproven guy like Kolb, and what the Seahawks gave up for an even more unproven guy like Whitehurst...and then I see what we gave up (and got back) for John Beck.

And it makes me wonder, did we totally rob the Ravens for Beck? Is that actually possible? I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around that.

If Beck is another Schaub, or even if he's just an above average starter, it will go down as a brilliant move.

It would be Shanahan's ultimate middle finger at those who say he can't win without Elway

It is definately a.....BOLD move. We'll yet see if it is boldly stupid or Brilliant?
I'll be a happy man and move it to the brilliant column if JB can be a solid bridge to our francise guy for a couple of seasons.

No doubt, heck it will be a middle finger to those that think he's crazy right now for even thinking about starting Beck.

He (MS) will never get credit for it, the media will never bring it up.

Doubt that. If Beck plays well it will be a pretty significant story.
