So, If Skelton struggles......who ya gonna blame?

He moved ahead of him a couple of weeks ago for whatever reason.
My guess is Whiz saw Bartel against Minn and realize he's just not that good. He had 1 pick and could have easily had 2 more, he just doesn't seem to get throwing into coverage is a bad idea usually.
Skelton is at least more safe with the ball
BINGO!
Im so tired of hearing about how bad Kolb is. How many starts has he had in this league? Not how many years has he been in this league. The guy has had 7 starts with this offense.

It is not intened, but when I use my tablet I sometimes hit the all caps button and would rather not re-write.What's up with you capitalizing every word now?
Yet Skelton as a rookie had 4 and many say he is no good. Shouldn't he also be given more time.
Sure but the difference is nobody brought Skelton in with the idea he'd start 4 games. He was the 4th best QB in camp that year the Cards dumped Leinart and decided to go with Anderson. Only have Anderson and Hall both proved they weren't the answer did Skelton play.
Kolb WAS brought in to start and as bad as he's been at times, yesterday was the first game he didn't get at least 200 yards passing, Skelton never did it once and Kolb is averaging roughly 90 yards more passing a game than Skelton did last year in his 4 starts.
If Skelton had a great preseason it would be different but he didn't.
He might have a future but he's quite raw.
I'd love to see him come out and fire the ball all over the field against the Rams but so far we haven't seen it from him.

At this point I don't care about YPA. In fact, I strongly believe Kolb's YPA are greatly ballooned by run after catch by Fitz, Doucet, King, and LSH. How many downfield attempts do you see Kolb make?People do realize Kolb is averaging a full 2.25 yards more per attempt this year than Skelton did last year? If Kolb is Mr. Checkdown what was Skelton?
Some of that is when you complete less than 48% your YPA sucks but the fact is Skelton made very few big plays last year.
He's young and should get better but he's exactly the kind of kid people are saying doesn't do well under Whiz because he's a project, he's very inaccurate quite mechanical and very unpolished. If Whiz can screw up Leinart and Kolb what do you think he'll do to a guy like Skelton?

We would still be trying to microwave some beef wellington starting Skelton, who missed reps because of a shwag late hit. But then again he is the kind of brainsmart that can probably soak up some film more than others can. But with our playcall and O-line, I'd rather leave him on the shelf until we get some things figured out, or we will just add him to the list.
He must have audibled to a run in practice.I think he's already been added to that list.
