John Skelton.  Man, this guy had us all fooled.  In 2010 when he was drafted out of Fordham, the Arizona Cardinals said he was going to be a project.  They told us not to expect to see him in a game for a long while.  Then, all bets were off when the Cards released Matt Leinart.  It became a three-quarterback circus in Arizona.

Welcome to week 14 of the 2012 NFL season.  This week’s Arizona Cardinals quarterback?  John Skelton, an oldie but goo….no I can’t say goodie, sorry.  This is more like the lesser of two evils.  Skelton has been named starter against the Seattle Seahawks by Cards head coach Ken Whisenhunt.  Let’s hope he performs better than rookie Ryan Lindley, who was absolutely horrific last week against the Jets.

We all know by now that Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley made his NFL regular season debut on Sunday in the 23-19 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.  We also know that he was shaky at best.  However, shaky is better than flat ridiculously bad which is what John Skelton was.  That doesn’t necessarily mean I agreed with the move to remove Skelton at the time of the game he was replaced in, up 13-0 at the time.  Now that the move to Lindley have been made though, it’s time to stick with him until if and/or when  Kevin Kolb returns from injury.
