Kolbs Weak Arm=No Fitz Catches

[coastalcardfan]

Kolb has a weak arm. At camp, Kolbs passes seemed to take forever to hit the receiver. This is why he could not pull the trigger to Fitz last year. Kolb is a **** and dunk QB better suited to the west coast offense. It was a poor idea to sign him in the first place. Classic case of trying to fit a player to a system which is all ways a bad idea. Skelton had accuracy issues, but he gets the ball down field, and he will throw to Fitz. Defenses know Kolb will not go to Fitz making more difficult for Kolb to hit the short routes.

When you have a choice between two QB's of questionable abilities, I say you go with the one who is comfortable throwing to Fitz. If we go with Kolb we may as well trade Fitz for a Wes Welker type receiver. It is a waste of Fitz' time to play with Kolb. Fitz will have Kolb webs growing on his hands.

Seems rather insulting to fitz? Can fitz not run. Umerous other routes besides a deep route?

Thanks for the heads up Mrs. Skelton

102 i hate Kolb thread...

Lol no. His arm is not weak. He has a pretty strong arm especially considering that he loves throwing off his back foot. Is it a world beater arm? No. But he has good range with it.

Kolb's problem is not his arm. He has above average strength and can sling it just fine. His problem is his lack of staying in the pocket from his Philly days where they design a lot of roll outs for the QB. That and his ability to finish a season. But his arm is not the problem. Not even close.

Skelton on the other hand overthrows everything. We had that with DA.

Now tell us how you REALLY feel about Kolb?

Blah blah blah blah blah..

More useless crap that should be deleted. Is this board even moderated at all? Can't we put all these stupid Kolb haters in one easy to ignore location? Everytime someone wants to give their worthless opinion about how much they hate Kolb it has to be in a whole new thread.. heaven for bid you tack on to one of the 10 thousand already existing threads.

Congratulations on making a horrible forum just a little worse.

OP has a point. Not about the noodle arm, but about Skelton targeting Fitz more often (not sure if he actualy got the ball to Fitz more often). Sando wrote a piece a while ago about this. Skelton targeted Fitz 11 times per 65 snaps, while Kolb targeted Fitz 7.9 times. However, kolb also had much more success whenever he did target Fitz. Fitz had a 10.4 Yards per Attempt from Kolb while only a 8.3 from Skelton.
