Is It Time For Another Change At Quarterback?

Anderson isn’t the answer at QB. Hall may not be either but if he doesn’t get time to develop we’ll never know one way or the other. Bringing in some guy off the street is futile. Should have made a trade before Oct 19 if they were going to go that way. Skelton was a two year development project to begin with. Nothing has changed that. Our QB situation flat out sucks. With Hall there is at least some hope that he will become a decent player. His play against New Orleans was good. Against Seattle he was garbage. That’s the danger of starting a rookie. I’d rather accept that risk than the alternatives.

He didn’t have a big turnover, but he was again wildly inaccurate and ineffective.

Hall played terribly, no sugarcoating that, but he still has more potential to do better.

He is awful, no pocket presence. There is a reason he was never drafted. We made the mistake pulling the plug on Leinert, now stick with Anderson. Max maybe a great leader, but his skills and arm strength are a huge weakness. We are in a playoff hunt and shouldn’t risk with a un-drafted rookie. We had no chance every snap, reminded me of Tom Tupa as our Quarterback.

Have you looked at the Buccaneers four wins, against very week teams.

Instead of DA….

Interesting.

But Hall at least plays with a spark and has a lot of upside. I don’t think Skelton can be any worse than Hall or DA, so I guess either of the rookies would be our best option at this point. At least that way we can see what we have for the future.

I was hesitant to jump on the band wagon immediately because I saw this happening. Honestly if he had had a good game against Seattle at their home I would have been frankly astonished. Seattle is a very hard place to play in, so for right now I will give him the benefit of the doubt. His second game in the pros on the road versus one of the toughest houses to play in is a reasonable excuse for the time being. But only for the time being.
Pros of the day, our D looked legit. Honestly the offense lost us the game, Seattle didn’t win that one, at all.

Hall isn’t a viable NFL QB but neither is Anderson. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, although I think we can all agree that their weaknesses far outweigh their strengths, but the bottom line is that neither QB is going to lead us to more wins than losses.

We are simply in QB hell right now. We’ll probably see three or even four guys start games under center this year but at the end of the year most draft pundits will still list QB as one of our biggest needs. Welcome to post-Warner football.

I was really excited when we drafted this guy, physically Max Hall doesn’t have anything over this guy, Skelton is 6’6" 245lb guy with a very good arm.

According to this – http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/john-skelton?id=497129 , Skelton is going to need some time in the oven to get ready, here’s to hoping he’s a quick study.

The division is up for grabs, the 493rs are done for, I don’t think Seattle is any good, we basically gift wrapped the game for them with the turnovers. I can see Skelton starting in a couple of weeks is both Anderson and Hall continue the suck-fest, since he’s the future. for now.

If he doesn’t perform good against the Bucs at home, then I don’t know.

The thing is, I really just want this whole QB Situation to end. I’m getting kind of tired wondering who’ll start each week. I just want a solid QB who’ll play consistently.

But I don’t know who we’ll turn to if Max Hall doesn’t work out. Hopefully that won’t happen, but I’m just saying, we really have no QB to turn to if Max Hall doesn’t do good.

Please, let us find an answer/

Who do you go to now?
Anderson sucks, he should never play for Arizona again in my opinion. He is so inconsistent that you can’t rely on him at all; one minute he takes the team down for a TD the next he looks like he couldn’t hit water out of a boat. Yes he’s had success before but he is just not a good player at all…more lucky than talented.

Skelton is too raw, he should not play this year. Maybe next year after getting some more preseason time.

Hall is a great leader and you can tell he really wants to win. Unfortunately it looks like he may not have the physical tools to succeed in the NFL, we’ve all heard he’s too short but now this about having small hands and he’s now been injured two weeks in a row…you have to worry about his physical health. He had a really, really bad game but you do have to give that it was in Seattle, one of the hardest places to play, in the rain, in his second start. Really just gotta hope that he plays better because it looks like he is our only shot at a decent year. I know it’s a stretch but there are some decent former NFL QBs in the UFL…Jeff Garcia, Daunte Culpepper, Josh McCown (lol)

I do know that when Whisenhunt released Leinart, this was pretty much the nightmare scenario. Unfortunately it is happening, so how are the Cards going to respond back home against Tampa?

It was one game. Hall sucked but we need one more before you all started to do collective lemming suicide. Let’s see how he does at home with one more start.

I agree with the people who are saying that more emphasis should be placed on the run it makes no sense why we are airing out the damn ball so much. When we do run the ball we get nice chunks of yards the only draw back is the fumbles but i would rather take the possibility of moving the chains than having incompletions three and outs and very little time run off the clock.

Now as for Max Hall he is a rookie you cant expect him to come out and be an elite qb thats just wishful thinking and completely absurd. He needs to be given time to adjust and become accustomed to the nfl. Here is something to think about, peyton manning in his first two games threw a combined 2 tds and 6 ints but we know how that situation ended up. Now I am not saying hall is peyton manning all i am saying is that you cant just give the guy two weeks and expect him to become great or even good. You have to let him ride it out and see if he improves and shows promise. I believe we give the guy a few more games and if he hasnt improved then we either start planning which qb we draft or see what we have in skelton.

We need to hit the grocery market and find our next QB.

How many punts and kickoffs have we flubbed this year…seems like alot?

We should run the ball 60% of the time…need to hold the FB though, both RB’s drop it.

Need to weather the storm, we have more home games left then most teams. Still like Anderson over Hall, based on arm strength and experience. Have no clue who Skelton is, but if we tank the season put him in against Dallas on Chrismas, give us some hope for next year.

Some of those Warner gloves would’ve gone a long way with the rain. How come none of the equipment guys on the sidelines thought of this?
Also, how come Breaston was talking up his return, only to be listed as inactive? I think I heard Whisenhunt say something about the wet field being a factor, but he could’ve been used just to return punts. Onrea Jones was active but I don’t remember seeing him get any time. Strange decisions from the Whiz…

After watching the game in person on Sunday, it is clear to me that Derrick Anderson gives you a better chance of winning this season. Myself and the fans sitting around me had zero fear with Hall in the game. It was obvious that he was not going to get the job done. The question the Cardinals need to ask themselves is if they truly believe they have a chance of winning this year or how important is this year’s success in the big scheme of things. If this year is an opportunity or is important to the overall progress of the franchise, you have to play Derrick Anderson because there is no way you will win this year consistently with Max Hall. Derrick Anderson is an experience QB and has had moderate success in the league.
On the other hand, if this year is just a step for something bigger down the road and you really think Max Hall is your quarterback of the future, than you should play him and let him develop. Otherwise, you will be in this exact same position next year.
That’s my two cents, good luck, but not really.
