The Facts:
HC Ken Whisenhunt has made it clear he’ll pick either Kevin Kolb or John Skelton as his starting QB
based entirely on who looks better between now and September, and that he’s heading into the competition with no favorite in place. Whisenhunt told Jim Rome on Rome that he doesn’t know who his starting QB will be, and he’s as eager as anyone to see one of his QBs establish himself as the starter. “That’s the question that’s going to be answered through the workouts this spring and in training camp this summer,” Whisenhunt said.

Whisenhunt added: “At times last year they both showed they can do good things. But consistency at that position is something we’ve got to improve on. So hopefully the competition between both of them will sharpen up one of them enough that he’ll be a good starter for us. ...” According to PFT's Michael David Smith, Whisenhunt acknowledged that Kolb — who just a year ago was viewed as the team’s long-term franchise QB — might seem to most like the favorite in the quarterback race. But Whisenhunt said he doesn’t want to go into the race with a favorite because he wants both QBs to be of the mindset that they can prove they deserve the job. “I think the knee-jerk reaction would be to say that it is Kevin’s job to lose,” Whisenhunt said. “But then you have to look at what John Skelton did last year in winning those games when he was in there. So I think you have to give John a lot of credit for winning those games. ..." Stay tuned. Fantasy owners will be more interested in this battle to find out who will be helping Larry Fitzgerald produce at a high level, but that is not an insignificant thing.
