Florio: 5 QBS who should be benched

[Shane]

Two of those INT's of that Oakland game were tipped balls that Matt had no control over.

You might want to recheck your memory banks. None of the passes were tipped AT ALL! They were just three miserably thrown balls. FYI.

You're right about that, he played like poo that day and even I will agree with you. Since you are making interesting points against Matty, I offer you some choice refreshments:

How long a leash do you want? If he does happen to struggle do you want to wait until the Cardinals are now longer in the playoff picture? Realizing Anderson has been both bad and good, wouldn't you want to see what he has as well?

Really depends on the situation, but I am sure people on here will be calling for a change after one bad game, so I will say four to six games, at least. With the crap division, the Cards should be in the playoff picture for a while.

Fair enough, must have been thinking of a different game.

He didn't start the season as starter, KW did.

I know that. What I meant was he started in 12 regular season games, not started the season as the starter. My bad, I didn't make that clear because I omitted "in" and jumbled the comment around.

"when he started the regular season as a rook for 12 games"

should have been written

"when he started 12 games in the regular season as a rook"

But I was typing fast and my brain understood what I was trying to say.

Stoney! Stoney! Stoney!

You guys are wasting your energy, Skelton is the future.

OK that's pretty much what I've been saying here as well then. After four games and even longer if he struggles, but the Cardinals still win. The more he struggles tho, the more I'd want to see what Anderson/Skelton has tho.

Two of those INT's of that Oakland game were tipped balls that Matt had no control over.

And at least 3 of his completions were made possible by the wind shifting, putting an otherwise unreachable pass just within the receivers reach.

If Florio had waited until, say, right after the second preseason game, to base his judgments on Leinart and the other four guys, he'd have a more recent body of work from which to build his case.

But to jump in with so much certitude a week before the first day of training camp is premature, presumptious and, therefore, dumb.

Nice post.

None of this or any of the articles written that we'll discuss in the coming weeks matter. In the end, if Matt fails, there will be plenty of things to bring up to support why he failed; if he succeeds, the same will be true. This dingdong is just hoping for the former.

I am hopeful that Matt will do well ... however, I will reserve how I THINK he will do until after I see him in camp and preseason.

God, we have a lot of haters across the board this offseason (referring to the media, not ASFN). This team as responded well to criticism in the past, hopefully 2010 is no different. It's just getting old, I can't wait to win our first 3 out of the gate and shut everyone up.

Well you have to look at more than just numbers in Matt's rookie year. How many rookie QB's could have succeeded that season here? Matt was the starter, after the Bears loss the franchise imploded, Green started doing his crown their A stuff on tv, blamed the offensive coordinator, fired him. Matt's QB coach mentor suddenly became the OC which meant instead of standing on the sideline next to Matt(when we weren't on offense) he was upstairs calling plays. Luckily Kurt was a big enough man that he didn't pout and tried to help Matt that year but not too many rookies are going to excel when they have no run game and are playing for a lame duck coach with an OC change like that.

If you look Matt played much better before we changed OC's, maybe the NFL just figured him out but I'm personally of the opinion that coaching change really hurt Matt that year.

And, he was playing behind arguably one of the worst offensive lines in Cardinals history. Which is saying something, considering how many piss poor o-lines we've had.

Exactly. That same OL also resulted in EJ averaging 3YPC. A bad OL and no running game is a lot to overcome for a young QB.

You should go on the official site's message board. Over there, you'd think they were talking about Ryan Leaf.

This article is so old that it mentions Donovan McNabb as a possible replacement. This rag is just as bad as the Bleacher Report rag.

That is the worst title ever. maybe 5 QBs on the hot seat? How can you bench somebody who hasn't even been a starter?
