September 1, 2008 Matt Leinart is working hard after losing to Kurt Warner for the starting job at quarterback, according to the AP. Leinart said, "It was tough to take because were all competitors and we all want to play. But it did push me. It did make me a better quarterback and Im going to keep on getting better. I know my opportunity will come sooner or later."
August 30, 2008 It appeared the decision was made, but after putting an impressive performance on the table in the Cardinals' final preseason game of the year, quarterback Matt Leinart has regained consideration for the job, according to the Associated Press. Leinart was 10-of-14 in throwing for 177 yards and a touchdown during the second quarter of the team's 28-14 loss to Denver.
August 26, 2008 Coach Ken Whisenhunt has yet to decide whether Matt Leinart or Kurt Warner will start Friday's preseason finale, according to the Arizona Republic. The starters are expected to play only two series, so the No. 2 quarterback on Friday will play some behind the backup offensive line.
August 25, 2008 Matt Leinart has held on to the starting quarterback job for the time being, despite reports to the contrary, according to the Arizona Republic.
August 24, 2008 Matt Leinart had a horrid night Saturday in the Cardinals' third preseason game, completing just 4-of-12 passes for 24 yards while getting picked up three times by the Raiders.
