Our View
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt says that he is still evaluating things, but had a meeting with Leinart to ensure him he never proclaimed Warner the starter.

lol he never "proclaimed"
i think he forgot to mention "yet"

[bbbtalb0]

Yeah I still see Warner winning this in the end.

[Destro's Secret]

Make up our minds already geeesshh it's like he's taking a page out of Shananhan's book.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP)—Experience beat out potential in the fight for starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Saturday that Kurt Warner would be the starter over Matt Leinart when Arizona opens its season Sept. 7 at San Francisco.

“It was a fair evaluation of that position but it was also tough because both guys played well,” Whisenhunt said. “Both guys did a good job.”

The coach said he still considered Leinart, the No. 10 pick overall in the draft three years ago and a 16-game NFL starter in two seasons, the Cardinals’ quarterback of the future. But Warner is coming off a strong season and impressed the coaching staff with his consistency and willingness to adjust his game to suit Whisenhunt’s style.
