John Skelton Gets the Christmas Eve Call for Arizona Cardinals

Found December 23, 2011 on Raising Zona:
PLAYERS: John Skelton,  Kevin Kolb
TEAMS: Arizona Cardinals,  Cincinnati Bengals,  St. Louis Rams

Merry Christmas everyone.  The Arizona Cardinals are on the road on Saturday to face the Cincinnati Bengals.  It is the first road tilt for the Cards since November 27th against the St. Louis Rams.  The Cards have won four straight and will need to go for five in a row with backup quarterback John Skelton once again.  Kevin Kolb is still nursing his concussion from two weeks ago.  It is most definitely the right move if Kolb is not 100 percent.  Let’s just not anoint Skelton a savior just yet.  Maybe just the Miracle Man.  If he can get a win tomorrow and then plays next week and wins, then he should be dubbed as such. … [visit site to read more] John Skelton Gets the Christmas Eve Call for Arizona Cardinals - Raising Zona - Raising Zona - An Arizona Cardinals Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

Arizona Cardinals Should Have No Quarterback Controversy

Via Raising Zona  |  December 21, 2011
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...
