Kevin Kolb has led the Cardinals to three wins this season, but it was Sunday’s tilt with the Eagles that really changed perception.
In that game Kolb went from simply a caretaker QB to one who was making plays, ultimately completing 17-of-24 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns.
“He played a rock-solid game against the Eagles,” ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620’s Burns and Gambo. “It looked like a quarterback that was very confident. He had the swagger.”
Jaworski noted that he’s always had doubts about whether or not Kolb can be consistently accurate with his passes, but his performance in the 27-6 win over Philadelphia showed him something.
“You look at the tape, I saw the ball coming out in time with his wide receivers.”
Jaworski noted the Cardinals still had some issues on the offensive line, which is something he said will have to be cleaned up if the team is to take the next step and become a great team on both sides of the ball.
“I think they’re achieving that on defense,” he said. “Offensively, a ways to go.”
