Cards @ Chiefs pre-season game #2 official game thread

Ryan Lindley for starting QB

He is so crisp in everything he does. The Cardinals need to keep him.

 

[Phrazbit]

Bethel, greased lightning.

 

[Darkside]

They just showed Kolb right there next to him and talking to him

Yeah Kolb was telling him, "you need to roll to the right more to make that pass successfully."

 

[NashDishesDimes]

Help us, Ryan Lindley. You're our only hope.

LOL

 

[Lefty]

I like that Skelton was right there to support Lindley, didn't see Kolb around, but may have missed it. Nice series there for Linley.

Like Byrd too in these first 2 preseason games.

They just showed Kolb & Lindley talking.

 

[Darkside]

Oh...LOL, Whis: I didn't see anything impressive about our team right now.

 

[TRW]

Ok there he is...didn't want to be nitpicky on Kolb

I like Lindley just for his arm strength alone over Bartel. Bartel just isn't NFL caliber, period.

Skelton
Kolb
Lindley

That should be it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bethel, greased lightning.

I really want him to make the team.

 

[Shane]

Oh...LOL, Whis: I didn't see anything impressive about our team right now.

That was awesome

 

[Darkside]

For Whis, he actually sounded as about as pissed as he ever sounds in the media. LOL. Good to hear. Didn't want to hear that it's just preseason and we're still working on improving.

 

[Mainstreet]

They just showed Kolb & Lindley talking.

Kolb was probably saying I am glad I didn't have to back in there.

Lindley got a nice, quit release, gotta say. I'm more impressed with him so far than I ever was with Skelton as a rook. Not saying he should surpass either Kolb or Skelton, but it's promising. Gotta keep this kid around and ditch Bartel.

It's always good to have one... just in case.

Is anyone else completely disinterested when coach Whiz speaks? He has never said anything interesting or relevant to the question asked.

His answer to every question - "well from the standpoint of our football team as a whole, we have got to get better..."

He can dodge any question, If you ask him if he shot someone he would say "well we have to get back and watch film..."

 

[Scott MS]

So far, in two pre-season games, I would say that WE SUCK. Let's hope they can turn it around.

We do THIS together?

 

[Buckybird]

Help us, Ryan Lindley. You're our only hope.

I'm thinking our only hope is a Detroit Lion oooofer! It's the only way for us to insure a possible franchise QB. Seriously

 

[Duckjake]

Only the Cardinals could have their THIRD string QB be the most popular guy in town.

Nope. Love it. His answer was perfect.

And their undrafted unheralded WR outplaying Floyd in The clutch

 

[Darkside]

Punch of panty-twisters, ya'll. We'll be fine. The system works . Whis pretty much said we're sucking, not sure what else you want? Want him to slap around the reporter, that make you happy? LOL

Thank you. It's always good to have a place to go when things get bad. I generally just hold onto my security blanket.

Umm, on the depth chart, he is 4th string.

 

[TRW]

Skelton and Lindley do have 2 of the worst beards in the NFL though. LOL

Both guys have a hell of a throwing arm on them. They also seem to hang in the pocket pretty good.

So far tonight Skelton threw that bad interception but looked generally OK. Kolb threw a couple of nice passes but he bailed out way too early, especially that last pass he threw out of bounds. Very poor performance.

I'd rather roll the dice on Skelton than have my starter be the proverbial "deer in the headlights" every time he goes back to pass. Kolb has no instincts, pocket presence or, in spite of Wolfley's homerism, ability to read defenses. Guess Wolfley has to prop up the players to get his paycheck but I can't really buy that he actually BELIEVES what he was spouting about Kolb tonight.

Unless Kolb really rallies the next 3 preseason games I have seen enough. Skelton wins. In fact, I may give Lindley a shot at #2 and just see what he can do if Kolb doesn't improve by next game.
