2 QB's to run the hurry up!

by Cuckoo for Coco Puffs on Nov 6, 2011 9:43 PM MST

It may be just an aberation, but watching Skelton run the hurry up to score our lone offensive TD today, reminded me of Kurt Warner.

Back in Whisenhunt's rookie year. Leinert was the starting QB and Warner, who had a better handle on the new offense, came in to run the hurry up at random points throughout the game.

Because Kolb did not have any offseason to learn the offense, and Skelton has been here 2 years now, perhaps that "change of pace" type of substitution would work for us.

The lack of offseason workouts league wide has been an advantage to offenses. There has been record passing and record scoring. This has not been the case for the Cards because we added a new QB, 3 new TE's, new #2 WR, and a new FB. That much change has to be part of what is holding us back. Having Kolb practice the main offense and Skelton practice the 2 minute drill, might help us improve our scoring by 7 to 10 points per game (1 or 2 additional scoring drives).

Skelton is actually on his second season,

hasn’t quite been here for two years, but with two young QB’s we may as well just go with one or the other.

Don't know if this will work

But I was actually thinking something that was more or less along these lines. Skelton seemed to handle the pressure at the end of the game better than Kolb.

Nah,

let Kolb open it and possibly mess it up and then ask Skelton to fix his mess, If Whiz did that he would need to be handed his pink slip immediately

No. Splitting time is the worst idea.

Kolb will be the starter again as soon as he is healthy. You don’t sell the boss on spending all that money on him to do anything less. If Whisenhunt splits time between the two or benches Kolb for Skelton he may as well just walk out the door.

Skelton or Kolb?

The Eagles game on the road: Which Cardinals QB is the best matchup v/s Vick?

Whiz should put Beanie Wells as wildcat QB so he can gain some yards. (It worked for Skelton.)

Beanie would be a horrible wildcat QB.

He is too slow and, as far as I know, has no experience throwing passes, which the defense will not have to worry about. Unless you plan on giving it to a WR on a sweep every time, we should avoid a wildcat. If we still had Breaston, then we could think about it.

pssst: It was a joke.

Like the division we are in?

Any ways, I don’t mean to be rude, but you seem to spend an awfully large amount of time on a Cards blog for a Niners fan.

49ers don't need backup.

The Cards need all the help they can get. Plus it’s easier to watch Arizona if there is no emotional attachment. I’d rather be amused and not throwing stuff. Mrs Retiree deserves to catch a break.

I enjoy my Arizona neighbors and the banter. No hate.
