If everyone was healthy, who would you start ?

I gave you lots of good answers, so choose one.

Everything out of Denver said that Orton handled his demotion with grace, dignity & professionalism. Which means.................I don't want him on MY team. Show me a QB who handles demotions well & I'll show you a LOSER. It's time we hand the ball back to Kolb & hope that we see some kind of flicker of hope. We have so many holes on the offensive side of the ball that it's unfair to blame Kolb entirely. We have 1 receiver, no tight-ends, our tackles blow & our back-up fullback is average at best. Brady would be average at best with this group.

Yeah. Who needs class and humility in the NFL...

If he's healthy, you have to start Kolb. Not because he gives you the best chance to win (winning is a secondary concern right now, since the coaching staff isn't on a directly hot seat), but because you must find out if he has any future with the team.

If there's going to be a legitimate quarterback competition come 2012 training camp, then Kolb has to start building credibility with his teammates. Dude has Fitz in his corner and the head coach, but that can only last so long.

Kolb probably deserves a chance to make the case that the Cards shouldn't invest a 1st round choice in a quarterback in the 2012 NFL draft.

But Kolb isn't healthy, so he'll get another week off and have a chance to make his case over 4 home games and 1 road game, where it might be much easier for him to succeed.

I went with Kolb on the sheer premise that the Cards are paying a buncha cash & I want him to succeed!!

I went with none of the above since Warner wasn't on the list.

Rarely do I agree with K9 but this is one of those instances. I voted for JS but only because i STILL Have hope for him. Buy you must give KK the chance to improve to see if he is worth what we traded him for or not.

Early Doucet. Our emergency 4th string QB and it he would probably actually be better than the rest since he would gain rushing yards. :D

I am completely disappointed in Kolb but I voted for him as I am with those who say we've just got to find out what he really is. I do believe it's quite possible he continues to stink it up this year and we just go into next year with him and Skelton anyway. I don't think Whiz or the front office will be ready to admit their mistake if that is indeed what it turns out to be, which is also quite possible.

Vince Young is now 31-17 as a starting QB in the NFL. And we could have had him for a one year incentive contract with a max of about $5.5 million.

AND been able to watch DRC and PPi play CB together for the Cards. :(

Is this important research for a paper you are writing for school?

Uh yeah......

The real world applications of Cardrinals QB's and its effect on the world.

My last study was on the implications of the Cardinals having a winning football team. Seems that my sources in hell told me the temperature down there on Feb. 1st, 2009 was about 32.5 degree Fahrenheit and dropping fast.

Santonio Holmes made a quick deal with the devil, and avoided a huge apocalypse type event.

There are a lot of "Facets to this", " a lotta in's and out's", "what-have-you's", and "interested parties". The world more or less hinges on the success of the Cardinals, and the Cardinals success hinges on the QB play.

So, yeah, for the sake of my paper, please vote.
:D

This post says it all. Nothing to add.:thumbup:

I have faith in Skelton. He had a single bad game, Kolb has had 3 bad games. JS is an intelligent young athlete, he will put it together.

I would have taken Orton over Kolb(and Skelton) back when it was a fair choice. I'd certainly take him now after seeing what Kolb and Skelton have done.

Matt Moore could have been had pretty cheap too. Heck, I think Josh McCown would have been better than what Kolb and Skelton have done but that was in Green's offense. McCown in Whisenhunt's offense would have likely been just as ugly as what has gone on.

None of the above. We don't have a QBOF on our roster in my mind. We have to start someone, but in my mind this season is already done, and without new talent next year, 2012 looks bleak as well so I don't care who we trot out there.

Vince Young to Larry Fitz would be the Dream. But it would be better for VY to sign with the 49er's what with that former QB coach and more welcoming fans. Try to get Sanchez from Rex Ryan.

Skelton. He at least has the potential to be great. Kolb will never be great. He just doesn't have the talent. Next year it's Andrew Luck or nothing. We need to trade the farm for him. No matter what it takes.
