I don't care if Skelton is able to play next week. Kolb has given us two wins and deserves to start. Additionally I want the Cards to introduce the Offense so the fans can give Kolb a very deserving cheer. How about a standing ovation!!!

Don't they typically rotate between offensive and defensive player introductions? D was last week

He keeps deserving starts as long as he's not making dumb TO's and the team continues with the W's! No brainer.

I'm fine with starting Kolb, in part because I don't think that Skelton is going to be 100%, anyway. But let's not be like Kevin Kolb is great shakes. 82.3 QB rating and a fumble lost. Good TD throw and good dive for the TD, no doubt. The francise prefers that Kolb starts, anyway.

No one's won the starting job, but 8 weeks into the season, Kolb has probably done more to earn it.

Don't change horses in the middle of the stream. Kolb gave a great effort today. I'm still not sure if he is the long term answer at QB but I'll take it.

He has improved from his running out of the pocket garbage. But he had some bad misses today. He missed Heap on an easy TD, And he missed LSH on a wide open dump off that would of been a huge gain.

But he has improved.

Guess what? I agree. I also think it doesn't matter who plays. The defense has it going now.

I have seen Skelton make those same misses. Heck, Brady had similar misses today.

Kolb did nothing today that Skelton didn't do last season. The key for the QBs is simply not screwing up and letting the defense win the game.

But man, think of how scary this team would be if the offense didn't stink.

Well yeah!

What's happened to all the Skleton love? Lol

It has nothing to do about the QB if the Cardinals are winning and I'm a Skelton fan. Nothing would please me more if Kolb turned out to be the QB the Cardinals thought they traded for.

Besides Skelton and Lindley should still be on the bench being groomed for the future. That's the way it should have been if Kolb worked out in the beginning.

Yes he did. Skelton has been downright awful away from home.

I don't see any reason why he shouldn't

I'm sure Kolb will have some extra motivation playing against the Eagles. But... but... I'd still go with Skelton if he's healthy.

How quickly you guys forget the Eagles game, where Skelton made just enough plays to get the win.

I'm not saying Skelton was great or Kolb was terrible or anything of the sort. Only thinking that we should not get carried away thinking Kolb played anything but an OK game today. It was enough to get the win because the D is excellent.

Same recipe Skelton used last season.
