InstantClassic Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Relevant because we play them...source: espn.com The Arizona Cardinals are expected to name Kurt Warner as the team's starting quarterback, a team source said Sunday. Matt Leinart's poor performance Saturday night against the Oakland Raiders probably sealed the decision. Leinart had three interceptions in the first half and completed just 4 of 12 passes for 24 yards. His passer rating was 2.8. The Cardinals won the game 24-0. The source said Leinart's training-camp performance has been uneven, and the Cardinals are concerned about his arm strength and consistency. After the game, coach Ken Whisenhunt said Leinart was still in the running for the Cardinals' starting job. "I know Matt's down because he didn't play as well as he would have liked," Whisenhunt said. "This competition, being pushed by Kurt, has made Matt tougher. It's one of the things you have to be as a quarterback." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Nice job Matt. He had the job and just threw it away, ****ing idiot. I am not looking forward to playing Warner, he's still a decent QB. We should be able to get some pressure on him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Warner will be on IR by the time the Jets play them. Yeah he will Craig and Leinie can step on his member all night and probably will. Peter North - should we still pick this guy up if he's cut next camp? I know you wanted to trade up #1's for the next decade to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillerPaul Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 All first round QB's are a crapshoot. Kinda surprised Whisenhunt is giving up on him so soon. He's always been a patient coach (had him as OC for a few years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Jet fans were dying to get this guy. I called him a left handed Chad Pennington. I guess I was wrong. He doesn't appear to be that good.

124 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Just like I said back in 2006: Matt Leinart is the left handed version of Chad Pennington. Except he has no love for the game and therefore will not work hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Matt Lienhart sucks. He lost his job to a relic. A relic who's a year younger than Brett Favre. But yeah, Leinart sucks. I was so happy the Jets passed on him. Of course, I was happy they drafted Clemens, so what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraVerde Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 They should start him anyway regardless of his performance... He needs games under his belt and he will only get better through experience and better offensive line play...Warner is done...He''ll be pulled by week 3.

serphnx Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I didn't think it was possible to suck on an offense with Fitz, Boldin and Edge. But I was wrong. Leinart, a winner is you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 A relic who's a year younger than Brett Favre. He may be a year younger on the calendar but he has had multiple concussions and assorted other injuries. On that alone, Favre is younger in football years.

On that alone, Favre is younger in football years. True, although Warner when 100% is pretty dman good QB. He's had his issues but there was a time when he was seen as one of the best if not the best QB in the league. I would much rather have faced Leinart in week 4 than Warner, who IMO could cause us a lot of problems. The Cardinals are not a team I'm looking forward to seeing. They should really be able to exploit our weaknesses in the secondary by getting either Larry Fitzgerald or Anquan Boldin matched up vs Barrett/Miller/Lowey. That will not end well IMO.
