Warner expected to be named starter

Chris Mortensen, of ESPN.com, reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner is expected to be named the team's starting quarterback, according to a team source. QB Matt Leinart's poor performance Saturday, Aug. 23, probably sealed the decision. The source said Leinart's performance in training camp has been uneven, and the team has concerns about his arm strength and accuracy.

Lets bump the over under to 90 and say the bet to be hummmmm I dunno... a slab of ribs?

I know you live in IL but in the event I win you can send cash and in the event I lose I will send you a slab direct from Jack Stack. I believe they do that type of shipping.

What say you?

I'm a welcher, haven't you heard?

Two QB's who I think will have GREAT statistical seasons...

Aaron Rodgers
Eli Manning

I don't think any QB will have a great stat season playing 8 games a year in Giants Stadium.

With the way that stadium is designed, it's a nightmare throwing the ball on a moderately windy day.

After Brees there is a huge gap. Brees is a fantastic QB. Distributes the ball well, always finds the open guy.

He is super underrated.

I said this last night about Palmer: If you've had him on your fantasy team, you know how frustrating he can be. He has all the tools to be great, but can never get over the hump.

I'd put the QB class this way:

Brady, Manning, Romo, Brees, Big Ben, Palmer, Hasselbeck, Favre, McNabb, Eli.

Perhaps...maybe you are right.

I am basing this off of the fact he's ultra talented and he has the monkey off his back (the New York media)...so I think he's going to build off of their improbable Super Bowl run and become the next big time QB in the NFL...not as good as Peyton, but definitely among the elite.

Well...I totally agree with you. Of course, I think Manning is better than Tom Brady but in terms of who you have listed, I don't disagree one bit.

I think McNabb is super underrated as well...he's actually quite a good pocket passer...

I think after Brees though Ben, Palmer, Hasselbeck, Favre, McNabb, Eli, Cutler, Rivers are all capable of having 'Drew Brees' caliber games they just aren't consistent.

Favre is one guy I have bashed over the years who I truly think is a great player but one of the most overrated player in any sport...he's always been a good QB but he has hurt his team in key spots time and time again the last decade...that's why the Packers aren't going to have much of a letdown with Rodgers...

I think Rodgers is going to be the next 'guy'...in terms of Madden, I think he can be a '94' QB real quick...

I'm not surprised, he didn't play well so this is what happens.....of course now they have a QB on their bench that has a 50 million dollar contract with an old starter...this puts them in a rough spot..

What do you do? Draft another QB and have 100 million dollars in QB's or do you give it to Leinart after basically going "man you suck", not really a fun spot to be in. Especially considering starting Warner probably won't get them much more if anything.
