Yep nobody was more disappointed in Hall's play than me but I honestly think Skelton's play so far has show exactly why the coaches had Hall ahead of him earlier in the year. Skelton has the physical talent but he's not very polished and they didn't want to throw him to the wolves. They felt Hall was better equipped and more ready to play in that scenario. It didn't work, Max was terrible, but he knew the offense much better then than Skelton does now.
What you like about Skelton is the physical stuff, size, arm strength, and presumably that he's smart. Mitch commented on his good footwork I think his footwork is close to awful, he's often throwing off his backfoot or throwing without stepping towards the target. I think he does have a much better feel for the rush than Hall displayed, he's not a sitting duck back there like Max was at times.
The long ball to Roberts I have a hard time calling that a beautiful throw, the db fell down and Roberts was totally alone. I'm glad he got the ball there and made the play, but that was a busted play. Honestly until late in the game about half his yards were on that one play.
But I was really happy with the last drive, he sucked it up, the easy thing to do there is throw 4 incompletions and end the game saying you tried, but he made the throws that he had to and got us to where Feeley could win it.
I thought that was great, he showed a lot on that drive. I'm glad he's playing now and he should continue to play but if we get a chance to get a vet or a kid like Luck we should absolutely pursue it, Skelton is still a long ways from being ready to start on a good team IMHO. He has the potential, but he's raw.
