Another Losing Season for the Cards . . .Maybe

Once again, the Arizona Cardinals were the subject of all kinds of pre-season speculation that this could be the year they broke through. A new stadium, the signing of Edgerrin James. Everything seemed to be falling in place.

They started 1-1 and this past Sunday they hosted the Rams. They were losing 16-14 and the Rams just had to run out the clock. But, they fumbled at their own 30, giving the Cards a golden opportunity . . .which quarterback Kurt Warner (hmm, a former Ram's quarterback) fumbled away a couple plays later. So, now they are at 1-2, needing to do something to get back on track.

The answer? Get Matt Leinart in there now. So what if he's just out of college and hasn't taken a snap yet in the pros. He won the Heismann and won two national titles for USC. Let's give him a shot now and see if he turns out to be one of those Heismann winners that makes the transition well or goes the way of so many others before him.

I'd give Warner one more chance. THEN bring in Leinart. But either way, I suspect they're heading for a losing season. Again.
