I saw three up there when I last visted.

Not a bad review by the Cardinals. Everything is depending on the qb play this season and keeping the running backs off the injured list.
We wonder why our D had so few turnovers, and I believe it's because they were defending a shortened field so much of the time. You make teams drive 70/80 yards, you'll see more turnovers. More opportunities=more turnovers.
Our QB's last year lost us games. Incompletions and punting would have been a serious improvement over what they did. I'm not being facetious or tongue-in-cheek either, they actually lost games. When you give up as many sacks as we did or throw interceptions it totally flips field position, gives up points, and loses games. It winds our defense, tires them out, demoralizes them. It's amazing they could play with so much energy toward the end of the year, given what they had to deal with on offense.
Also, our corner play was not good. Peterson seemed like he was often playing not to get burned, as he gets more comfortable I'd imagine he will be more aggressive in coverage. And AJ Jefferson was just plain awful. I am still very skeptical of our options at the #2 corner slot but I do think it will end up being an improvement over last year's very poor level of play.
Wasn't that 2010? Our QBs won us more games last year than they lost. 4 OT wins, 7 of our last 9. 70 and 80 yards drives to win or tie. Every teams QBs lose them games. It's when it's like the Cards in 2010 and they are losing you 7,8,9 a season that you have trouble. We weren't in that situation last season.
Our QB situation isn't great but it's not as bad as you are painting it. Put a little more Kool-Aid Red on your Palette.
Patrick Peterson was the worst defender on our roster last year for most of the season. As bad as AJ and Lenon were, PP21 was worse.

Totally untrue. Paris Lenon isn't a corner, first of all. If he's guarding them we're in serious trouble. AJ was the worst of the lot. PP didn't get beat over the top once all year. For a rook that's a solid job, even though he gave up underneath stuff. And that was by design, and I would suspect, although I can't confirm, that Horton told him not to get beat deep, since that was our mission all year was make teams drive on us and not give up big plays. PP also never missed a tackle man. AJ sucked it up all year. He won't even beat out the rook(s) we drafted.
... really? I am not claiming Peterson was good, or even average, but to claim he was the worst defender on the roster and anywhere near as bad as AJ Jefferson was, is downright comical.

Our QB's had so many OT wins because they put us in that position to begin with by sucking so bad.

Says the guy who thinks Skelton was good. That's comical.
Hakeem Nicks? Torched him.
Steve Smith? Torched him.
Go back and watch film, he was badly beat by both of them and there are quite a few others.
Patrick Peterson led our team in most passing yards given up at 900 attributed to him.
He also got picked on by San Francisco.
I remember PP21 being underwhelming the beginning of last season, then started showing his potential against the Cowboys.

Find me a post where I call Skelton a good player... please. Be my guest.
I find it comical that he thinks that Skelton isn't any good.
Double Deuce will prove the doubters wrong this season.
I hope you're right, but by all measurements Skelton was awful last season.
I would love for ONE OF the QBs to step and become a good player, I care little which one.
Except for one. Wins. I don't care about numbers. Just letters. W and L.
And for that reason I'm with you on the rest of your post. They're all Cardinals and I really don't care which one is the QB as long as we win.
I agree completely. W's trump all other stats.
