Once again, I sit here and defend Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb.  Why are people so dang impatient?  We waited 20 years for a winner in Arizona.  From 1988-2008, no division titles.  Then we win two in a row and we all get so spoiled.  Why can’t we wait one more?  When Kolb went down with an injury after starting 1-6, John Skelton came in.  He’s certainly done more than an admirable job filling in, going 5-1 in his games.  Kolb has won the one game he’s played since returning and then getting injured again.  Kolb still, in my opinion, has not done enough to lose the job.  His second half against the Dallas Cowboys was great.  That was the type of Kolb we were expecting to see all along.  As for Skelton, he’s shown he can play in this league. … [visit site to read more] Arizona Cardinals Should Have No Quarterback Controversy - Raising Zona - Raising Zona - An Arizona Cardinals Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

Yet, here we are, and the Cardinals, once left for dead at 1-6, are...
