SUMMARY
Quarterback Rank: #26   
Overall: #176


Kolb battled injury throughout his first season with the Cardinals. He finally got his chance to start from day one but battled injury and inconsistent play. Kolb played nine games. Kolb threw for 230-plus yards seven of nine games but had just nine touchdowns to nine interceptions. He did make some plays downfield and move the ball but turned the ball over too much and struggled some in the red zone. The jury remains out if Kolb is a legit NFL starter. Kolb still has time to get it going at age 28 (when he season starts) but this is likely a make or break season for him. He won't be handed the starter's job. Kolb is an accurate passer with a strong arm. He can make the tough pass in traffic, but still needs work on the deep ball. He also needs to cut down on his turnovers and make better overall decisions in the passing game. If that doesn't happen, his time as a starter in the NFL will end earlier than expected.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Don't give up hope on Kolb just yet. He did produce for fantasy teams when playing. His yardage numbers can be very good. If he rights the ship, he can throw for 3,700 yards and 25 touchdowns. He is worth a gamble as a No. 2 because of his big-game potential. He is an even more attractive option for fantasy teams that have a top No. 1 (i.e. Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees).
Arizona Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb said he and his fellow quarterbacks will start their on-field work with coaches this week, and they will work on the basics. He said he hones in on footwork, trying to develop good habits while also working on timing.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb said he wishes the team would have communicated to him that they were pursuing QB Peyton Manning before he signed with the Denver Broncos. 'Without getting into too much detail about our conversation, I just said in the future if you can just communicate with me, I can take it, if this is the route you're going,' Kolb said. 'I'd just rather hear it from him than the ticker. He agreed. That's how relationships grow and that's where we're heading.' Kolb will be battling QB John Skelton for the starting job this season.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb (concussion) said Monday, April 16, that it was more than three weeks after the season when he felt normal again after battling a concussion. 'To be honest with you, when I first went home it was still pretty severe,' Kolb said. 'It kind of worried me because I figured once I got away from the game it would clear up pretty fast. But it didn't and I stayed in contact with our guys here. Within three or four days after that three-week period it was fine. I was glad to be feeling back to normal.'
Fantasy Impact: You kind of have to worry about concussions being an issue for him going forward for Kolb. He is a bit of an injury risk.

The Arizona Cardinals could consider restructuring QB Kevin Kolb's contract in order to save around $5 million in salary cap space by changing his roster bonus to a bonus that would allow them to spread the cost over the course of the contract.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said QBs Kevin Kolb and John Skelton will compete for the team's starting quarterback job in 2012. Kolb is currently considered the favorite to win the job.
Fantasy Impact: Kolb should be the favorite to start but nothing is certain after last year.

The Arizona Cardinals will pay QB Kevin Kolb his $7 million roster bonus.

The Cleveland Browns could pursue Arizona Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb after losing out on the possibility to select Baylor QB Robert Griffin III in the NFL Draft. General manager Tom Heckert drafted Kolb with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2007 and thinks he can still be a successful NFL quarterback. 'I still think Kevin is going to be a good player,' Heckert said. 'Time will tell on that. He hasn't really played a whole lot. Even last year he was hurt.'

The Arizona Cardinals do have to make a decision by Saturday, March 17, on a $7 million option bonus due to QB Kevin Kolb.

If the Arizona Cardinals pay QB Kevin Kolb the $7 million roster bonus he is due in late March, he would count about $10.5 million against the salary cap in 2012 from the $7 million roster bonus, $2 million signing bonus, $1 million base salary and $500,000 workout bonus. Should the Cardinals not pay the roster bonus and let Kolb go, he would still count against the cap as dead money this year. If the Cardinals used one of their two exceptions on him, the team would take a $2 million cap hit in 2012 and a $6 million in 2013. If they didn't use an exception, he would count $8 million against the cap in 2012.

Arizona Cardinals general manager Rod Graves said he believes the team can win with QBs Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and Richard Bartel but is willing to add another quarterback this offseason if it improves the team.
Fantasy Impact: At this point, you would have to think Kolb would be the favorite to start in 2012.
