And Pete Carroll offered this as to why he thinks Leinart is struggling..
Leinart is still waiting for one from head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who is keeping all of us guessing, not just Leinart and Warner. While I was listening to The Dan Patrick Show, an interesting subject came to light when Patrick was interviewing Leinart's college coach, Southern California's Pete Carroll. Carroll was responding to the idea of naming Warner the starter over Leinart. Carroll expressed his disappointment for Leinart, and then offered a gem some of us might have overlooked. He suggested that Whisenhunt's "tough love" approach is probably not the best way to keep Leinart motivated and on top of his game. "Matt was in a situation where they didn't know what they felt about him and where he had to show up and prove it and make a big statement that he was the guy, and that might have not let him be at his best," Carroll said. " . . . Because when Matt wasn't our starting quarterback and he was battling Matt Cassel, he wasn't very good. "The day we told him we're going to give you the chance to be the starter, he looked at us and there was a twinkle in his eye like, 'You're never going to regret it,' and we never did." It goes back to what Leinart told a reporter last year when he said he wanted the Cardinals to sink or swim with him as The Man. |

He was drafted the same year Croyle was.....it's all relative...
He's the one being put in the funky spot, even Croyle is being given much more of a chance than he is...I just thought people would like to know there is a team that handles a QB worse than Herm Edwards does. |

What the Cardinals have done would be like if Croyle started the first 5 or 6 games this year then benched him for Huard, then in the next preseason declared it an open competition again. They've created a situation where neither QB is comfortable they are constantly looking over their shoulder in fear of 1 mistake sending them to the bench no one can play their game. Once you go to the young guy you stick with that you don't go back to the vet you create all sorts of issues that way. It's example of Ken Whisenhunt literally having no idea what he's doing. When Leinart was undoubtedly the guy under Green he played better.....so what Carroll says has some truth to it. |

Also when I say I want to see something from Brodie Croyle..
• Threw for 200 yards or more in eight of his first 11 starts in 2006; completed 60% or more of his passes in five of his final six starts. • In 2006, became the first Cardinals quarterback since Jake Plummer in 2001 to have three games in a season with a 100+ quarterback rating (all were in his final six starts of ’06). • Became the first rookie in NFL history to throw for over 400 yards in a game when he passed for 405 at Minnesota on 11/26/06. The previous league record belonged to Plummer who threw for 388 yards against the New York Giants on 11/16/97. • Leinart's 2,547 yards passing in 2006 also broke Plummer's franchise rookie record of 2,203 yards, set in 1997. • Became first QB in NFL history to throw two TD passes in the first quarter of each of his first two games when he did it vs. Kansas City and Chicago. Leinart did all that in his rookie year...which is more than Croyle I don't think there is an argument there... It's just an example that Ken Whisenhunt and the Arizona Cardinals have 0 idea of how to properly handle a QB, especially this specific one. |

Um injury history doesn't begin and end at the NFL level, I'd tell you Adrian Peterson is injury prone because he's missed games due to injury 3 consecutive years now...
Honestly saying any player is more injury prone than Croyle is laughable. Atleast tell me he has a better arm than Leinart since that one is true. |
