The Facts: According to Arizona Republic staffer Kent Somers, HC Ken Whisenhunt announced today that Lindley will start at QB for the Cardinals this weekend.
Diehards Line:Nobody should be especially excited by the change from John Skelton to Lindley. The the passing game was awful last Sunday regardless of the QB. Skelton had a string of bad throws, culminated by missing a wide open Larry Fitzgerald in the end zone, before he got the hook in Atlanta. He went to the sidelines having completed 2 of 7 for 6 yards. Lindley, wide-eyed in his first NFL appearance, wound up 9 of 20 for 64 yards with no interceptions and no touchdowns. Fitzgerald had just one catch for 11 yards. Tight ends Rob Housler and Jeff King did not have a pass reception against the Falcons. They were not targeted. Set your expectations accordingly.
