This is why I wasn’t afraid to pick the Cardinals to win the NFC West.
I am disappointed in Matt Leinart. I thought he had the potential to breakout this season. Reports out of Arizona were that he was doing well in practice and with the offense.
However, he had a horrible game against the Raiders in which he had three interceptions. The result was a permanent benching.

The nice thing is this doesn’t hurt Arizona too much. In fact, it may help them.
Kurt Warner is not the same guy he was in St Louis, but he still threw 27 touchdown passes last year. He has good chemistry with the star receivers and is a player that defenses respect. His only fault is that he tends to hold on to the ball too long causing unnecessary fumbles and sacks.
That said, Kurt Warner isn’t going to get rattled in a big game. He is a solid veteran influence on a team that needs to learn how to win.
While Matt Leinart appears to be headed for the bust category, Arizona still has an excellent chance to compete in the NFC West.

This helps the Cardinals in the short-term. Leinart was never going to lead the Cards to the playoffs. Unfortunately for Arizona, Warner is old and Leinart's failure means that they have to draft and develop another quarterback in the near future.

You're right Paul. That is exactly what they're going to do.
What a shame. Leinart played well in his last preseason game, but inconsistency is key.
good decision from the coach in trying to be respectable now that they have Boldin and Fitz still there.
