Kolb: "My deal is just finding that groove and letting it roll and staying injury free. I want to put together a solid career here. I don’t want to put together two years. I want to put together a Super Bowl contender every single year for a long time. I’m not looking to get out of this league any time soon."

"We wanted to add some veteran experience to the quarterback position on our roster and we think we’ve added a good one by signing Kevin," said Bills GM Buddy Nix. "He’s a player we had targeted since he became a free agent and he should be a strong candidate in the competition for the starting quarterback position."

Inside The Bills | Kolb: It was the worst pain I’ve ever felt
"Bills QB Kevin Kolb was last seen by Bills fans last season in Week 5 when he was under an enormous amount of pressure from Buffalo’s defensive front in Arizona. It would also prove to be his last start for the Cardinals as the five sacks and numerous other hits he endured before finally exiting the game in the fourth quarter led to four separated ribs and a sprained shoulder."

Inside The Bills | Marrone: Adding Kolb doesn’t impact draft
"I don’t think it really is going to change the philosophy on the draft," said Marrone. "When the position comes whatever is best for our team to get better I think we’ll go ahead and choose that player wherever it may be. I think that rather than trying… and I don’t want to speak for Buddy (Nix) or anybody else in the organization, but rather than trying to reach or go somewhere that you don’t want to go, you bring the best players in that you can bring in and you have them compete and you’re a better football team."

"It’s good to come to an organization like this," he said, ignoring Buffalo’s 13-year absence from the postseason. "They’re hungry. Everybody upstairs is hungry. They’re not taking a day off. I like the fact that people are saying we haven’t made the playoffs in 13 years or whatever. I just think just like anything when you have the underdog role that fits a lot of peoples’ personalities. It will be nice to come out and surprise some people."

Kevin Kolb's Super Bowl talk is laughable - AFC East Blog - ESPN
"Kolb may not realize it, but his brash Super Bowl talk just added unnecessary pressure before he throws his first pass. Kolb is setting the bar too high for himself and Buffalo to handle in 2013. The Bills are a team in transition with a new head coach, a new offense, a new defense and a new quarterback. Rarely does that add up to a Super Bowl champion."
