The Matt Leinart storyline is fascinating, and we’re not done talking about it.

In the course of the last week, we’ve witnessed Matt Leinart go from starter to backup to likely to be cut/traded by the Cardinals.

The word coming out of Arizona is that Matt Leinart has lost the confidence of his teammates.

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt told reporters he has respect for Matt Lineart, and his decision on a starting quarterback isn’t personal.

It’s the topic du jour this week in the NFL: Matt Leinart or Derek Anderson?

Ken Whisenhunt said following practice on Monday that he hasn’t made a decision on the whole Matt Leinart versus Derek Anderson thing, meaning it isn’t going away anytime soon.

It’s the morning after … nine games were on the NFL preseason slate on Saturday night, so let’s take a bullet-point look on thoughts and observations from around the league.

The person most likely to benefit from Kurt Warner’s retirement figured to be RB Beanie Wells because when your choices are Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson, running the ball seems like an attractive option.

The Cardinals will give QB Derek Anderson a chance to prove that he should be the team’s signal caller as they travel to Chicago to take on the Bears.

If the possibility the Cardinals cut Matt Leinart is very real, what happens next?

As you would imagine, Matt Leinart isn’t happy about not starting Saturday’s preseason game against the Chicago Bears. Despite his current demotion behind Derek Anderson, he still plans on starting the regular-season opener.

The Cardinals have made the switch from Matt Leinart to Derek Anderson, at least for the team’s third preseason game against the Bears.

Apparently Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt has seen enough of QB Matt Leinart, now he wants to see what Derek Anderson can do. Anderson will get the start for the Cardinals on Saturday, according to Darren Urban (via Twitter).

Kurt Warner is not walking through that door. Warner made it abundantly clear on NFL Network on Wednesday, chatting with Rich Eisen and Trent Green.

This is the first Saturday in a long time that had some football. Who else is ready for this?
