In camp for a couple weeks, nary a bad word has been said about Kevin Kolb.

Add in a successful preseason debut, one in which he completed 4 of 7 passes for 68 yards, the praise has continued to flow.

"It's one preseason game," Sports 620 KTAR's Ron Wolfley said on the Doug and Wolf show. "Don't build a church. One game. Chill."

Wolf says Kolb played well -- which he did -- but wants people to put everything into perspective.

It's probably a good idea.

After all, save Larry Fitzgerald's great catch that led to a 43-yard gain, Kolb's QB rating would have been a paltry 52.67.

That's Derek Anderson territory, and it's not funny.

Then again, the pass to Fitzgerald was completed, and the ability to get the Pro Bowler the ball -- no matter how open he is -- is part of the QB's job.

So, under that criteria, the new signal caller is doing his job just fine.

    Take a break from writing for a while guys. These kind of articles are just annoying and pointless. Fire them back up when you have more than 200 words to talk about.

    It kills me when...
    People say "well, if you take this stat out, the outcome would have been worse." The fact is, the catch and throw was made, so putting it into perspective with that scenario makes little sense. I do agree not to over hype Kolb yet though. Lets see how he does against a pissed off Green Bay first team D. Its just the preseason but GB will come out to play for sure...!

    Geez
    Are Cardinals fans allowed to be excited about anything? I think we understand its just one game, heck even DA had a decent game for the Panthers in their first pre-season game. I understand your trying to pour more water in the kool-aid but let us Cardinals fans be happy about something for once.

    Well?
    Seriously, what do you expect from the Phoenix sports media guys? Journalism? Objectivity? You think these guys were athletes at one time? Being a scrub in some beer league slow pitch softball team makes them an authority on sports? QB ratings are stats created by computer geeks and those booger eaters from grade school.
