2012 DRAFT GUIDE

	#14 Ryan Lindley
		Pos: Quarterback NFL Team: ARI Injury: OK		Experience: Rookie College: San Diego State Height: 75 Weight: 232 Born: 6/22/1989

Summary

Quarterback Rank: #74All Players: #449

Lindley was a surprise starter his rookie season, getting his chance in several games. He proved he needs a lot of work, though. He didn't have a touchdown pass and was intercepted seven times in six games. He completed just 52 percent of his passes and his season high in yards was 312, but he had more than 115 yards just one game. Lindley likely isn't going to start this season but could be the top backup if he has a strong offseason of work and looks good in preseason action for the new coaching staff. Lindley has a plus arm and is an athletic quarterback that can make plays on the run with both his arm and legs. He struggles with accuracy, though, and has consistency issues. The speed of the pro game seemed too much for him last season.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Lindley probably won't get as much game action this year as he did last season, so we wouldn't bother with him. And last year showed he needs a ton of work to help a fantasy teams.

comments about Ryan Lindley

Notes

Feb 01 02:32 pm

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said he believes QBs Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and Ryan Lindley have the arm strength to throw deep passes and does not think that will be a problem if one of them starts.
Fantasy Impact: We don't think the Cardinals can go into the season with any of these quarterbacks as their starter.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said he is keeping an open mind when it comes to the quarterbacks on the team's roster. Arians will give QBs Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and Ryan Lindley an opportunity to earn the starting job; however, he is not opposed to an outside candidate earning the nod as well. 'I'm sure that (general manager) Steve (Keim) and (vice president of player personnel) Jason (Licht) are going to be looking behind door number two,' Arians said. 'If door number two is a better option, we'll go to door number two.' Arians said he's looking forward to meeting with all three quarterbacks but isn't in a rush to evaluate their chances at this point.

Nov 22 10:13 am

Arizona Cardinals QB John Skelton said he is frustrated with being benched in favor of QB Ryan Lindley. 'Obviously, losing six in a row is frustrating,' Skelton said. 'What transpired on Sunday and then now, the benching, obviously is frustrating.' Lindley, meanwhile, said he is looking to improve as he sees more game action. 'I told you guys that my main goal was to just get better every week,' Lindley said. 'I knew the chips were going to fall as they were. I don't think anybody can predict the future, so I didn't spend much time doing that. I just made sure if it ever happened, I was ready and I got better every week.'
