The official HOF Cards vs. Saints thread...

Lookin' good, Johnny.

again, as horrible as we look, i'm just glad we actually get to talk LIVE FOOTBALL again.

if Kolb's out a couple weeks, I gotta be honest... I'd just release his ass, or at least name Skelton the starter. i don't think it will euqla more wins or anything, but you just KNOW it's only a matter of time before Kolb gets injured again and when both guys are both pretty mediocre (and that's being kind), at least with Skelton, you know you won't be janking with whatever... oh whatever... in the words of the great Bill Murray in Meatballs... IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER.

Man, our rushing game better be good.

And another nice play by Skelton.

 

[Phrazbit]

Amazing how much better the O-line looks without Kolb in the game.

In terms of money spent, time wasted, the draft pick, DRC (who like him or not certainly had trade value), its hard to think of a worse move.

Taking Duncan literally began the downfall of a team that had one of the best offenses in the NFL. They were a playoff team with Lipps but Duncan was a bust and the team didn't make the playoffs, then had drug issues and collapsed.

I can't imagine a worse decision by them. The difference is Lipps was the guy everyone thought we should pick, and he was a terrific player, instead we picked a guy who couldn't play and who was a total surprise pick.

With Kolb there was no Louis Lipps we should have traded for but didn't. There was no obvious move that we didn't make, like taking Lipps was.

I've always felt that one pick set the club back 5 years.

Skelton looking OK now at least.

 

[Bodha]

He is better suited for our online.

sign of a good QB. If your Oline sucks, you need to be that much better.

 

[Bodha]

Me likey Smith right now

And then threw into double coverage behind the guy who was open when he first turned around. Late over the middle.

Kolb looks like he's done with a concussionso we all gotta get behind Skelton but come on good reads, the guy he threw to WAS open, he just didn't throw it until too late.

Well he's moving the chains now, and even though I thought Kolb gave us the best chance to win, wouldn't you agree that the offense looks more calm and settled with Skelton behind center? Yes, our Oline is bad, but they don't look nearly as bad with Skelton back there.

I'm disappointed, but I gotta be honest about what I'm seeing. And so far Skelton looks way far ahead of Kolb.

 

[Russ Smith]

Skelton is looking quick and sharp.

Yeah he's really settled down making quicker decisions after that first one he held way too long.

 

[BigRedRage]

For the zillionth time, skeltn is our guy.

say what you will, but for some reason the O-line just looks better with Skelton in there, as it did last season.

Fonso switching ball hands like a pimp on the sideline.

He's looking good in my opinion. Surveying the field. Standing tall in the pocket and even his short pass a bit ago was good.

Agree with this, even though I wanted Kolb. It's very pronounced tonight.

I think with as fragile, skittish and innacurate as Kolb is Bones has to get the nod. Lets get him ready for the season and quit waiting on something that is not going to happen. Skelton has good pocket presence and awareness.

Skelton doesn't look nearly as timid or scared and hangs in the pocket.

 

[desertdawg]

Is Skelton from Canada...that last pass was "tottaly laser!"

 

[InfiniteRed]

Sick throw!

 

[Dayman]

Crazy decision. Great throw.

 

[Russ Smith]

And all their backups in.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Can't believe Skelton completed that pass. Nice.

 

[Bodha]

"Time to get Housler involved"

you said it Bob

 

[Jersey Girl]

He seems more comfortable just hanging out with the guys as well ... at least he seemed more comfortable and confident at training camp when there was nothing going on.

Need to go and get it here
