    John Skelton will be the Cardinals’ starting quarterback in Week One, according to Adam Caplan of The Sideline View.

    Skelton beat out Kevin Kolb for the job. Skelton, a third-year pro, started the other seven games for Arizona last season and threw 11 TD passes and 14 picks.

    This preseason, the numbers have been similar. Kolb and Skelton each threw one touchdown pbutt. Kolb threw three interceptions to Skelton’s two, and Kolb completed 59.5 percent of his passes — Skelton completed 56.0 percent of his.

    The offense just responds better when he's behind center regardless of what his stats show. They'll undoubtedly keep Kolb around as the No.2 QB as Skelton is bound to get hurt at some time due to the poor O-Line and poor O-Line coach. If Whiz were to name Lindley as No.2, then adios Kolb.
