2012 position of strength- Quarterback!
I can't recall the Cardinals entering a season with 3 QBs with as much upside as the team will in 2012:
1. Kevin Kolb- Finally he gets a full off-season of OTAs, mini camps and a training camp to learn the Cardinals system. He has all the tools to be a very special QB in the NFL. Lets hope the injury concerns are behind him.
2. John Skelton- some might argue with me that he should be number one on this list and it would be hard to disagree. "Baby Ben" grew up a lot last season and had some very impressive wins (at Philly, vs SF) to show for his efforts. He too has all the tools to be a very special NFL QB.
3. Ryan Lindley- Just the fact that S.I.com's Peter King would suggest that Lindley is as good or better then other highly touted rookies Tanneyhill, tells you the Cardinals might have found the steal of the draft. Like Skelton, Lindley has the size/arm to be a very special QB in the NFL. No disrespect to R.Bartell but the drafting of Lindley probably meant the end of his Cardinals career.
All "3" of the Cardinals QBs offer immense upside. All are young and eager to prove themselves. All should take huge steps forward this off-season under John McNulty- who did very special things at Rutgers with the QBs and that was why Schiano wanted him in Tampa Bay as the OC this year.
In the NFL you are only as good as your QB, and I think the Cardinals have as much depth at the position as they have had in a long time!
Go Cardinals!

Warner was better than all 3 of them combined.
Bascially we have 3 medicores who average out to 1 OK.
Id rather have a Star QB and a scarecrow at #2 and a firehydrant at #3. |

Hopefully the competition will push one of them to be a decent QB

Exactly. I think he's just drunk on the Kool-Aide.

Reference the first two QB's, I'm puting all my eggs/hopes in one basket. And that is that neither has had a full offseason with the Cards. But as for Lindley, and maybe it's just me, but he seems much like DA. Hope I'm wrong.

I agree Skelton should be #1 on the list.
BTW, in the QB throwing video clip on cards official site, Skelton looks huge. He has really bulked up. Kolb looks like a midget among the three QB's.

At this point I would be happy with an average QB.

I was perplexed and confused with the Lindley pick. That hasn't changed. Everyone says he is DA part deux. Big arm. Innacurate. 53% completion in college. 50-stinkin'-three!
I don't get the hype or the hope.

Methinks Tim doesn't understand what the word "strength" means. Having a bottom 5 NFL qb situation sure as hell doesn't qualify as a strength, especially when it's the only thing keeping us away from the playoffs.
There is no doubt our #1 need is a decent starting QB.

To be fair, DA barely even cracked 50%. His COLLEGE completion rate was 50.7%. How he is still employed or ever became employed is a total mystery.
Also, I'd love to hear a break down of how Kolb has "all the tools". The only tool I've seen him tap into is an MRI machine. |

Anyway, please don't ever call Double Deuce Skelton what you have there. Ben Roesthisberger is no one to look up to. I hope Skelton is nothing like "Big Ben", that guy is a creep. |

Not sure how you get this comparison. Have you watched any tape on him?
