Kolb or Skelton

This would be really interesting to see what a week would do to this poll.

I would stick with Skelton...nothing against Kolb, but you stick with the hot hand.

I guarantee the Cardinals start Kolb next week, as they should. I'm glad Skelton is on the team. He's a good back up QB, but he's not the QBOF.

He's not accurate enough, and he makes some pretty bad decisions. He helped get us the win today, and I'm appreciative, but he was exceptionally fortunate on those batted balls. Those could have just as easily gone the other way for more pick sixes.

I vote for JS also, but I was more interested if the margin wouldn't be different this week. For all of JS warts we are winning with him behind center.

I like Skelton. What I liked today was every time Philly blitzed he threw to the side the bilitz was coming from.

It hurts me to say that I believe that they should stick with Kolb, IF he is healthy. Skelton came up with a solid win today, but as previously mentioned, by the narrowest of margins did he avoid disaster. The ball bounced Skelton's way today.

Skelton is a winner. He is only going to get better. This team responds better to him. Let him play.

 

[Black Jesus]

I almost think we should re-do this poll lol.

Skelton, minus 2 throws today was fantastic.

The touch pass to LSH on 4th and 2, the Fitz touch pass, the use of Roberts and Doucet. Skelton is hands down our quarterback. Not to mention, we had 2 drives that should have resulted in FGs.

Leave Skelton as starter until Kolb is 100% healthy, then give the ball back to Kolb.

I will freely admit it is not a fair comparison and I think they are vastly different in terms of skills/potential and how they actually have played, but just based just on the quote above, couldn't you substitute Skelton with Tebow? The evaluation needs to go beyond wins and losses with such a small sample size of games between Kolb/Skelton.

Skelton can perform much better under pressure than Kolb.

See the Eagles game, and the Rams game. He has come back twice, and lead this team to victory.

He also makes some throws that show he is confident in his ability, and is fearless in his decisions.
:fireball:

He seems to be much more comfortable in the offense than Kolb does. I think that is what we see. He believes in the reads and understands what is going to open up on certain plays. Whether or not he has better skills, I am not ready to make that determination yet.

It hurts you because you know it is wrong. As many mistakes as Skelton has made, Kolb has made more...many more. Skelton should only get better as a young, relatively inexperienced signal caller. Kolb has had how many years in the NFL? It would absolutely sicken me if we take out the young QB that has won two games in a row, and who is seemingly starting to progress, and put in that hack Kolb again. Sicken me.

Kolb has had 7 games in our system, previous years mean nothing. We overpaid for a inexpereinced player that we thought could be a very good starter. Yes, you would assume that his experience in an NFL offense would translate to a faster return, but neither us or our coaching staff apparently realized the total difference between our offense and Andy Reid's.

What hurts is that I want to win, and Skelton has won the last 2 games. However, I know that the smartest move for the organization to make is to start Kolb this season as long as he is healthy unless you see something from Skelton that shows you he is your QB for the next 10 years. Next season is wide open competition in my opinion, but to date, I haven't seen enough from Skelton to throw Kolb on the trash heap.

The problem with saying that Kolb hasn't had time in our system is that it isn't that he's making big mistakes with the system; he's making big mistakes that are unacceptable for any QB in any system. If he was hanging in the pocket when he should be and simply struggling with the offense, I'd probably have a different opinion. His idiotic and scared sissy run-around Keystone Cops routine is Pop Warner QB play, and has absolutely ZERO to do with the system. I know people have tried to excuse it by saying that is the system in Philly, but I don't buy that for a second. If a QB can't learn to not run 15 yards backwards and try to throw off his back foot, the system will never matter.

So, I guess I'm kind of fed up with Kolb's skittishness and stubborn insistence on scrambling when it is clearly the most stupid option available him.

and I can't blame you one bit for this.
