Anyone know anything about TJ Graham? I first heard him mentioned at the Senior Bowl by Scott Wright, and if we're looking for a speed WR later in the draft his name popped into my head.

True, but I remember reading Packer's forums at the time and Colledge was derided by many there and considered the weak point of their line and not starting material, albeit from a fanbase point of view.
That's one reason some teams take a late round flyer on a QB each draft. I don't think the Cards really have that luxury though, especially already being down the 2nd round pick.
BTW, was Max Hall cut or just IR?
One of the commentators during the game mentioned that Skelton could throw a nice arc on the ball that dropped it over defenders - I think he was referencing an Arizona player as stating that (though my memory isn't the best).
Shame Housler was out as I liked to see if Skelton could hit him in...
There were some questions about him when the Wonderlic scores leaked out, but those TD returns, and the pick against Rivers in Pre-season just shows what incredible football instinct he has. He's electric.
And the balance and speed as he's breaking tackles...phew.
I'd be very interested to see how the pocket holds together with Skelton standing firm. I'm curious how much Kolb's happy feet are contributing to the struggles of the line.
I like Skelton's measurables, but not really expecting anything from him at this point.
I look at the first play today, and the poise shown by Skelton in the pocket last season, and despite both their the flaws, I know which player has shown more flashes to my eyes. If Skelton's not the answer, I'm not convinced that Kolb is either.
Jaws was calling a spade a spade on Burns and Gambo.

I'm so torn on this.
There does seem to be players not working as a unit, and a failure to fix ongoing issues, which look to me like coaching issues.
And then Kolb misses a wide open Housler down the seam in his best DA impersonation...
I agree players aren't making plays, but at what point does the coaching staff take some responsibility for the lack of progression in correcting basic mistakes?
The inability of the team to fix problems is damning when you also consider questions on the team's ability to also develop talent...
My footy team is like family! They do plenty of stoopid things, they drive me nuts some times, heck they probably even owe me money, but damned is me who still loves them despite all that. Doesn't mean being blind to their flaws or venting when appropriate either.
I understood your original post Catfish.
The player personnel and coaching staff personnel are two different sides. I can be patient with the players, but it's the lack of in-game adjustment, week to week adjustment, and addressing of glaring areas of concern generally that kills me. Getting a...
