Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is weighing in on the team’s decision to make John Skelton the starter. “I can’t say that I am surprised that [Skelton]’s going to be the starter,” Warner told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug & Wolf Show Friday. “I’ve been pulling for [Kolb] for a couple years to really get […]
Am I shocked? Am I surprised? I am happy. I’m happy the Cardinals went with John Skelton as their starting quarterback. His selection feels right and natural. Comfortable. He never grabbed the job as forcefully as we would’ve liked, but between his arm strength, pocket poise and size it seems to me he gives the […]

Ken Whisenhunt’s decision to name John Skelton the starting quarterback was not as surprising as it is gutsy. Going into training camp most assumed the starting gig was Kevin Kolb’s to lose. He lost it. The move, which was made official Friday in a press conference at the team’s Tempe training facility, is just another […]
On a day when John Skelton is named the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, the Skelton family cannot help but be disappointed about the other news of the day. Skelton‘s younger brother and tight end, Steve, did not make the final 53-man roster. “It’s kind of bittersweet for him, but I think for the […]
It’s official, Skolb is no more. The power — or is that lack of power couple — will no longer share their time together as the No. 1 quarterback for the Cardinals.

A dream has been realized for John Skelton, as the 24-year-old has won the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback. “I’ve been working hard the whole offseason,” Skelton told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug & Wolf Friday. “My goal was to get better each day at practice and be consistent and being named the starter kind of vindicates […]

While the Arizona Cardinals continue to delay their choice between John Skelton and Kevin Kolb, Larry Fitzgerald has continued to quietly make his way through the preseason the same way he has with the 10 other quarterbacks he has worked with in his NFL career.

ESPN NFL analyst Merril Hoge says the Arizona Cardinals will have to run the football this season because of their limitations in the passing game. Those limitations, of course, are due to the team’s issues at quarterback, which the former NFL running back says will hold the team back. “Their offense is extremely handicapped,” Hoge […]
All Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald can do is catch the football when it’s thrown to him. Assuming, of course, the ball actually gets to him. The Pro Bowler is about to enter his ninth NFL season, and with career totals of 693 receptions, 9,615 yards and 73 touchdowns, it’s obvious he knows what he’s […]
The Arizona Cardinals are just two days away from their final preseason game against the Denver Broncos, and still no decision has been made by head coach Ken Whisenhunt on whom the starting quarterback will be for the 2012 season. Possibly complicating matters is the fact that Whisenhunt has also stated neither Kevin Kolb nor […]
