Does it matter if Skelton becomes the starting QB? Sure he has looked better than Kolb but that's not saying much. Skelton was the 32nd ranked QB last year behind 3 new rookies and he had Larry Fitzgerald to pass to. The guy is too inaccurate. Looking good in preseason does not equate to being a star in regular season. After this year, the Cards will be looking for another QB. It might even happen before that.
He's progressed nicely wihtout commitment to build around him. It will be ugly this year, but if the Cards can commit to build around him, I think he can be solid...not probowl, but maybe flacco/alex smith solid. If we start all over again, we burn another 2-3 years developing the new guy. They'll miss Fitzgerald's prime. It's clear you cannot plug and play a QB (example: DA, Kolb) into this system.
Why are we so desperate for Whiz to name the starter? He knows we're in a @#%# situation, we know we're in a @#%! situation, why the rush? This 3rd game should be the dress rehearsal for a real game and we'll have plenty of time to name the starter once it's over. The truth is that neither player has shined and Whiz probably doesn't feel that either of them is worthy of the starter title at this point.
