I don't think that Skelton would've had to make that pass to Roberts, because I don't think that Skelton throws the dumb INT on the series before.

Different quarterbacks, different styles of play.

Disagree. Skelton throws many bonehead picks too. In fact he led the team in picks last year.

Pure fantasy from the Skelton lobby.

Given the circumstances of the game, Skelton could (or would) have thrown more than 2 picks, with at least one guaranteed "WTF were you thinking" moment.

I've never seen one thrown INT dissected, projected, and turned on its head like I have Kevin Kolb's EZ pick in my entire life. There are literally over 300+ posts on this.

If my job had this much scrutiny, I'd be unemployable.

 

[Duckjake]

Yea because Skelton doesn't throw bonehead int's. Or at a highe rate for that matter. He's much safer with the ball.

Who cares who is better or more likely to mess up? What is important is that both Kolb and Skelton have shown that they can overcome the adversity of a critical interception or fumble and come back with a score to win or tie.

Not arguing that. I'm arguing K9s assumption that Skelton wouldn't make a bone headed int. even though we've seen it many times over.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Skelton never has played at the level Kolb is right now for any stretch of his career. I doubt he ever will either. Even when KK was playing bad last year he still performed better than Skelton.

I find it funny that Kerouac is the primary guy pointing out that our schedule got significantly easier at the end of the year, you know, the part of the season Skelton played.

Kerouac is right, Skelton feasted on bad defenses while Kolb played the tougher teams early in the season. Of course the lock out was a huge factor since he didn't know the offense and the defense had a new coordinator.

Fast forward to this season, game one, Skelton plays awfully. Throws one of the worst picks ever when he tries to throw away the ball. Completely inexcusable to throw a pick when you are throwing the ball away! In Cardinals territory, giving the Seahawks a short field! At least Kolb's two picks this year he was trying to make a play.

Talk about boneheaded interceptions (Skelton to Sherman), that was probably the worst since vintage Jake Plummer interceptions.

Thus... Kevin's Goatie. The facial hair has some meaning, not just a streak thing.

It's just hard for me to understand why you hate a Cardinal player, who came in as the #2 QB and helped the Cards win 6 of 8 games in the process including the team's first win over SF since 2008. You bash Skelton every chance you get. I don't get it.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Hate? I hate no Cardinal.

Should we ever, willingly start Skelton over Kolb? No way Jose. I thought it was a mistake in the preseason. Skelton is an extremely limited player.

My only knock on Kolb was the durability. 8 sacks yesterday makes me think last season was yesterday, homie held up. If he stays healthy Jersey will be posting about my greatness.

There you go again bashing Skelton. When you refuse to acknowledge anything positive a player has done, to me you are hating on that player.

That is what Rugby was writing earlier in the thread. That the Kolb people who are praising Kevin to high heaven for overcoming earlier errors and coming through in the clutch can't give the same credit to Skelton. He and I have been Skelton's biggest supporters on this board. Not saying Skelton is better than Kolb, but in defending him against the allegations that he was just the lucky beneficiary of a great defense and stellar special teams play and really did nothing to contribute to those wins which is simply not true.

Like Kolb Sunday and against Seattle, Skelton had to make the throws that resulted in the TDs and FGs that won or tied games for us. He was clutch down the stretch several times. I just don't understand why you and others refuse to admit that.

Then why was he named the opening day starter? What's that say about Kolb?

I think most thought Skelton won the job and should be the starter. Kolb has come in and changed that. I think that puts the Cards in a good situation. Skelton will have to step up his game if he want to win back the job and, like coaches always say, competition is a good thing. The best thing from this is Sketon becomes a better QB. Well, not the best thing, the best thing is the Cards winning, but you know what I mean.

Because he typically throws his dumb INT's in the first half we still would have been behind at that point.

But I agree different QB's, Skelton would have ran on 3rd down which is what I thought Kolb should have done. I guess he wanted to give Floyd a chance to win a jumpballbut it sure looked to me like the red sea parted in the middle and if he'd just tucked it down and run he would have scored.

 

[ajcardfan]

Man, this thread is really a giant waste of time. I tried to catch back up on it, but can't stomach all of it.

Hey, how about the posters here try to be as classy about the QB situation as Kolb and Skelton have been? If Kolb isn't being an "I told you so", and Skelton isn't being pouty, then why do some of us have to be?

On this board being right is all that matters to many. Personally I will worry about being right on my evaluations when somebody is paying me for them.

The gotcha thing is getting old. Particularly when we are 4-0 and should be enjoying it. JMO.

+1

I know that deep down all I want for my team is to win and get better every week.

I've very rarely if ever had a personal bias against a player to the point I'd want the team to fail, the only exception ever to that rule was DA, I was so po'd about all that I did gasp take some perverse pleasure in the team sucking because I would of rather been right then than for the team to win.

That was wrong then and most of the time, like 99.9% of the time I'd rather be wrong and have the team win when I b*** about things I'd just rather it get better or be wrong than to be right.

I was wrong about Kolb I wrote him off late in the preseason said he can't stay healthy, he's lost his confidence, start Skelton. I never for a minute expected Kevin to play like this.

I always said his ceiling was higher than Skelton's I just decided he was never going to reach it, at least not here. But now I think we have 2 QB's that have proven they're good enough that we can win games with them.

Hey, I'm all about being right. It's a sure bet you'll all hear about it if it ever does happen for me.

This board is a microcosm for America. When we feel attacked from the outside, we band together and it is us against the world. When things are going well, apparently we get so bored we have to turn on each other.

I think most thought Skelton won the job

I disagree. I think most thought Kolb lost the job and Skelton was the starter by default. Neither "won" much of anything in the preseason. Fairly meh to blech from both of them.
