Skelton just overthrew Powell by three feet above his head on an outside dump pass.

Did I fail to mention missing/overthrowing the WR that are open?

His favorite target last year until the 4th qtr was the beer vendor in row 27 too...maybe Skeltons waiting til the end of practice to complete anything! Lol:D

Keyed in on him Cus phone almost dead. He's the most important follow. will add more thoughts later when I get home. But your right he mostly sucked. Apparently two days in a row. If this keeps up Kolb whom was said was pretty crisp yesterday isn't going to have to sweat missing any time.

Redzone drill Sampson open by 3 yards Cus Adams slipped. Skelton missed him by 3 feet.

This is what I saw over and over when I went up there. I went up wanting Skelton and he just looks bad right now. Still early though.

The real problem is I wanted someone to "Win" this competition, not someone to suck less.

system

you can go though dozens of QB's, the system is flawed.

A competent, proven NFL QB proved your words wrong! Now, if you said the HC can't choose the right ones I might agree.

hmm

I never said dozens of HOF QB's. it may take 3 or 4 of them to find one that run this offense- Mcnabb is available-

How long before people are chanting for Lindley to come into a game?

I'll go with week 8.

protection works

thats why Harbaughs 13-4 NFCW winning Niners continue so many drives on 1st and 2nd down? with 4-5 receiver sets? because extreme pressure on the opposing defense is more important than establishing your own young QB's?

the Ravens Harbaugh too, any coach but Whiz and Glanville!

Skelton is not accurate, and it will never change enough for him to be a reliable starter and it sucks because the guy has all the other things you look for in a QB

I agree. He just is not very good at one critical QB skill... Accuracy.

Sounds like Lindley looks a little better than what I saw over the weekend.

Also sounds like more of the same with Skelton.

I was not comfortable with the QB situation when I left Flag on Sunday, and your reports, Shane, are doing nothing to make me feel better. Thanks for nothing, dude. :p

But seriously, I really am pulling for Kolb to do well this season. I never wanted him on the team, but I certainly want him to succeed. There were a good amount of people not cheering anything he did at camp and heckling him when he threw a pick or an incomplete pass. No one gave Skelton any crap when he overthrew open receivers.

I agree with Sanders. I don't want the lesser of two evils; I want someone to rise to the top.

And thanks for the comments, Shane!!!
