Trouble in Paradise

by: Michael Steffes

Trouble in paradise...if by paradise you mean endless amounts of strip malls, 120 degree heat, and cacti as far as the eye can see.

It would appear from this report by Ken Summers of the Arizona Republic that the quarterback situation in Arizona is a bit more up in the air than people previously thought.

Ken Whisenhunt has spent all offseason telling everyone who would listen about how pleased he has been with Matt Leinart since he got hurt. Now, after only FIVE practices running the first team, he has been bumped back to the second unit. This could only be temporary, but as best I can figure, nothing good comes from it.

If Kurt Warner gives the Cards the best chance to win, I can see why they would start him. Even so, the chances of him recreating the reincarnation of his career that he experienced in 07' is unlikely. Leinart was not a happy camper last year after being benched, and you can bet he won't be now after all the work he has supposedly put in. Add him to the long and distinguished list of grumpy Cardinals.

Following the QB situation in Arizona will certainly be something to watch this summer. The more turmoil the better for Seahawks fans. In a year in which the Cards had a chance to build off of positive momentum for the first time in a decade, a contract issues precluded them from making any big moves, and now they have a fairly fragile QB situation; never a recipe for success. Looks like it could be the same ole Cards after all.... END
