John Skelton, Ken Whisenhunt said, is the quarterback the Cardinals’ coaches think gives the team the best chance to win.
The reasoning isn’t going to change, and it was the same when Whisenhunt picked Kurt Warner over Matt Leinart in 2008, why he elevated Derek Anderson in the preseason in 2010 and why the Cards dealt for Kevin Kolb last offseason.
So, without specifics – Whisenhunt was never going to break down his quarterback thinking point-by-point, and said as much Friday – Skelton was named the team’s starter heading into the regular season.
“We put a lot of time and effort in making the decision,” Whisenhunt said, “and we feel like it’s the right decision.”
So, how long until the lynch mob finally gets Whisenhunt?
