Bengals claimed QB John Skelton off waivers from the Cardinals.

He's the second quarterback the Bengals have acquired to compete behind Andy Dalton. Big-armed Skelton should be the favorite to beat out Josh Johnson for No. 2 duties after Johnson couldn't stick with college coach Jim Harbaugh in San Francisco last season. Still only 25, Skelton has lots of experience after being thrown into the fire in Arizona over the past three seasons, but could greatly benefit from observing as a pure reserve for a year or two. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Skelton will be a free agent next winter.

Needed someone to backup since Gradkowski went to Pittsburgh. Good move.

Bad move, who the fuck wants John Skelton on their roster?

Maybe he has the physical tools but but he makes bad decisions left and right. Has there ever been another QB who has had drives result in safeties on consecutive drives? I would be hoping to god Skelton does not end up as my #2 if I'm a Bengals fan.

Good move huh?

As worthless of a bump as all thread bumps go.

I'll keep doing useless bumps as long as my memory and football insight hold up.

You could tell just by watching Hard Knocks that he was going to lose out to Josh Johnson. Johnson simply made more plays and knows the offense much better being drafted by Jon Gruden a years back.
