As the saying goes, the backup quarterback is the most popular guy in town. While John Skelton may not have earned that title in Glendale, Arizona, they’ve found their pariah.
During a Fan Fest held Wednesday night at University of Phoenix Stadium, starting quarterback Kevin Kolb was booed.
Darren Urban of the team’s official website acknowledged the reaction on Twitter, pointing out that Skelton received no noticeable audio feedback from the 15,000 or so fans who attended.
It’s never a good sign for the starting quarterback to be booed. It’s even worse when it happens while the team is 0-0, and hasn’t even opened training camp yet.
The organization did Kolb no favors by pursuing/flirting with/evaluating Peyton Manning. It represents a vote of no-confidence in the quarterback about whom the Cardinals, in hindsight, had too much.
