Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt took issue with comments made by former NFL player Willie McGinest that players prefer QB John Skelton over QB Kevin Kolb. ‘I have no perception whatever that that’s going on,’ Whisenhunt said. ‘From what I’ve seen, standing in the huddle, which I don’t believe he was in the huddle, the team’s responded to both guys and feel like both guys can be successful for them. So I don’t put a whole lot of stock into that. If he’s willing to say who it was or what they’re talking about and what context, maybe it would be worthy of commenting.’
