Never ceases to amaze me.  Cardinals fans.  In day one of Arizona Cardinals training camp today, Kevin Kolb apparently threw a couple of balls too fast or away from receivers.  So naturally, it’s John Skelton‘s job to lose.  Really?  It’s one day!  What I also suspect is no matter what Kolb does or say, it won’t matter, John Skelton will be the guy.  I will say this over and over for the next several weeks – let it play out.  One day of practice does not make a starter in a quarterback competition.  Not many are on the fence and are willing to watch it play out.  Most are in one camp or the other.  I’m not about to anoint either guy as the starter, especially after one day.  C’mon.

When the Arizona Cardinals saw quarterback Kurt Warner retire after the 2010 season, many fans including myself were wondering what was going to become of the position.  Many thought Matt Leinart was not the right man and that turned out to be correct.  People wanted someone who they felt was a legitimate NFL quarterback.  A lot of people thought that guy was going to be Kevin Kolb.  As we know, the Cards gave a lot up to get him and he spent half the season injured in 2011.  His record says he went 2-6.  He was better than that record, with about two weeks to learn the playbook before taking the field in preseason.  So why all the boos?

Nothing will be given to either of the Arizona Cardinals top two quarterbacks, Kevin Kolb and John Skelton, here in OTA’s or in training camp.  Both players will have to fight for the starting spot, although I suspect if Kolb doesn’t give away the farm during his playing time in the preseason and stay’s healthy, he is going to get every chance to be the number one quarterback.  The Cards have too much invested to have someone like Kolb sitting on the bench if Kolb has decent numbers in the preseason and limits turnovers and sacks.
