Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb couldn't have scripted his 2012 exhibition opener much worse than this: First pass, interception; Second pass, well behind receiver Andre Roberts; Third pass, thrown away while Kolb was on the run from pressure; Fourth pass, completed under duress to fullback Anthony Sherman, but with a price. New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis tackled Kolb and landed on him, driving Kolb's throwing shoulder into the ground. Kolb left the game with what the team called a rib contusion. Overall, Kolb completed 1 of 4 pass attempts for 4 yards. He was ineffective while playing and unable to break the streak of injuries that have marked his Arizona career to this point.Source: Source: ESPN.com
Kolb missed four starts last season after suffering a toe injury against Baltimore in Week 8. He missed the final three games of the season after suffering a concussion against San Francisco in Week 14. With Philadelphia in 2010, Kolb suffered a concussion in Week 1 against Green Bay, missing two-plus games. In 2009, also with the Eagles, a knee injury sidelined Kolb for the first two exhibition games. Not a good track record.

the guy shouldent be a starting qb really his first throw tonight a INT. I know its a preseason game but hes been throwing picks like that since he was in philly. Not a strong arm turnover machine means no starting job and then theres the injurys on top of that. I liked skelton he looks like he could develop into a decent qb
