I agree with an earlier poster that said that it just isn't time to throw either of these guys under the bus. It's pretty obvious that Skelton is not ready to be a starting QB in the NFL. He may never be a starter, but I'd still keep him in the #2 slot for another year. Kolb needs to play as much as possible, because a decision will eventually need to be made. The QB position is completely unsettled. But we're not the FIRST team to have an unsettled QB position after the loss of a great QB.
The history of the NFL is ripe with teams that struggled after losing a QB like Warner. Warner brought the WHOLE package. Phenomenal leader, great accuracy, great timing, burning desire to win, etc, etc, etc. Go back & look at how poorly teams did after losing a qb like Warner:
Green Bay after Bart Starr - There's a reason Lombardi left, he even admitted that. Hell, GB didn't get better until Favre came around.

Some on this board want to give Warner 100% of the credit for the success we had & that Wiz just went along for the ride. I guess the same could be said for the HC's left behind above. BTW, some of those guys are in the HOF. Warner was special beyond words. Look what happened at St. Louis after he left the Rams! The point I'm trying to make is that this is not unusual what we're going through. It SUCKS, but it has happened many times in the NFL, many times in other sports also. The worst thing we can do right now is panic & jettison Whisenhunt. If we do that, we'll be back to square 1 & the merry go round will continue. If we keep Whiz, we can be significantly better in a year or 2. If we fire Whiz, we'll suck for another decade regardless of who we bring in here. My advise to Cardinal ownership - stay the course!
