After taking longer than expected to adjust to a new team and offense, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb looks to continue his on-field success against his old team and coach this Sunday in Glendale.

Kolb was groomed to be the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback of the future after they took him the second round of the 2007 draft. It looked like a bright future was ahead of him in Philly as he was essentially handed the keys to the franchise. But after a severe concussion and an incredible performance by Michael Vick, Kolb replaced those keys with a clipboard and spent the rest of the 2010 season on the bench.

Eventually, Kolb was given a fresh start when he was traded from the Eagles to the Cardinals for a second-round pick and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Even though things didn't work out as planned, Eagles' head coach Andy Reid had nothing but praise for his former pupil when he spoke to Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf.

"He manages the game very well so you have got to stay on your toes with him and he knows where to go with the football," said Reid. "He's a smart kid and those are the parts that haven't changed. I don't into the negatives because that's not how I operate and he doesn't have very many of them anyway. He's a pretty good player."

Reid went on to say that Kolb's skills as an intelligent play maker are key to the success the Cardinals are having this season.

"The thing Kevin does is he gets the ball out quick. He gets it out on time so you see their sack ratio is phenomenal," said Reid. "They don't get sacked, that's how it works. And his receivers understand that so they get themselves open quickly and on time, which is good for the offensive line. I know they appreciate that."
