John Skelton

Skelton threw for 1,913 yards, 11 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, and a 54.9 completion percentage in eight games last season. He added 28 rushes for 128 yards, no scores, and three fumbles. Despite his unimpressive stats, Skelton led the Cards to a surprising 6-2 record when he was behind center, keeping the team in playoff contention until the final weeks of the season. In any case Skelton's performance was enough to set up a preseason battle between him and Kevin Kolb for the team's 2012 starting assignment. If Skelton can claim the job, he'll still have superb wideout Larry Fitzgerald to throw to and the Cards used a first-round pick in promising wideout Michael Floyd, as well. They also plan to utilize their tight ends more, which could lead to more red zone passing touchdowns. The Cards have invested plenty in Kolb, but the competition is said to be an open one. Unfortunately, from a fantasy perspective a winner of this job battle may not be declared until well into August, as neither quarterback has distinguished himself so far this offseason.
