ESPN.com's Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Cards are set to name Kurt Warner as their Starting Quarterback for the 2008 season. The move follows Leinart's abysmal game last night against Oakland, in which he went 4/12 with 3 interceptions and a passer rating of just 2.8.
As the 10th pick in the 2006 draft, Leinart still has time, and if anything the move is not just an indication of his own struggles, but more that Warner still clearly has the ability to play at a high level. Having said that, it is hardly a ringing endorsement of Leinart as a 'Franchise Quarterback' if and when Warner leaves Arizona.
The window is closing on the team's playoff aspirations with the elite offensive weapons that they have, and it is possible that the move is partly an effort to convince wantaway Wide Receiver Anquan Boldin that the team is trying to win this year, in an attempt to persuade him to spend at least this year in Arizona.
