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.

I was talking about that one play where it was said he made good reads when he actually threw late to the guy who was open when he first turned.

Since then he's looked quite good and I've posted that twice already.

If Kolb misses 2 weeks..... The competition is over.

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.

I agree, also having Floyd and a more seasoned Housler may help help him too.

I actually feel bad for kolb as dissapointed as i am. Not his fault everyone evaluated him as much better than he is. Hes too fragile for the NFL. i think we can all agree theres no way he can be a 16 game QB

this is really where I'm at and not really because i think one is better than the other. I think they both pretty much stink, but it's just a matter of time with Kolb before he gets injured.

Can we give Skelton credit for a nice touchdown drive?

Nice drive.

At this point it's pretty clear Skelton is the starter if for no other reason than Kolb is going to miss too much time with the rib injury to get the job back by start of the season.

Hopefully Skelton can settle in protect the ball and utilize the weapons.

This OL still terrifies me.
