• Leinart getting paid: By taking over the starting job so early this season, Arizona quarterback Matt Leinart is going to accelerate many of the bonuses in his contract that some felt he wouldn't earn for a few more years. Leinart will collect about $3.85 million in bonuses because he has played more than 35 percent of the offensive snaps this season and reached other performance benchmarks. The former Southern California star was going to qualify for most of the money in his deal anyway. But by playing so much as a rookie, Leinart could pocket more than $15 million in his first two seasons.

Sprained shoulder benches Cards' Leinart

GREG BEACHAM

Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO - Matt Leinart sprained his left shoulder late in the first half of the Arizona Cardinals' game against San Francisco on Sunday, ending the quarterback's strong rookie season one game early.
Leinart was hurt when Roderick Green sacked him on third down during a drive that ended in Neil Rackers' 39-yard field goal with 1:57 left in the second quarter. Leinart went to the locker room after the hit, and returned to the sideline in street clothes as Kurt Warner finished off the Cardinals' 26-20 victory.

Leinart out to prove he's still Cards' starter
Says splitting QB time motivates him
BY BOB BAUM | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEMPE, Ariz. - Matt Leinart isn't talking like a quarterback in danger of losing his job.
He says he understands the two-quarterback system Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt is using and will work hard to show he deserves to stay in his starting role.
"I know this is my team," Leinart said after practice Wednesday. "I'm the quarterback of this team. I'm competitive. I'm not going to just throw in the towel and give in to what everyone's saying."

Leinart's limbo
By Michael Silver, Yahoo! Sports

October 1, 2007

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ? Matt Leinart sat at a crowded table in a trendy steakhouse late Sunday night, sipping a glass of sauvignon blanc with a faraway look in his eyes. The young passer was frazzled and forlorn, and not just because of the atrocious synthesized music blaring in the background.
As a scrawny Owen Wilson lookalike warbled through a cover of Sugar Ray?s "Fly" a few feet away while Scottsdale's beautiful people mingled around him, the Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback in name only struggled to relish one of the franchise's more uplifting victories in recent memory.
Having given way to backup Kurt Warner for much of the Cards' 21-14 upset of the previously undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, Leinart's day had been filled with bitterness, frustration and prideful defiance. Now, as he finished his meal at City Hall steakhouse, there was only detached bewilderment.
"I just want them to ride or die with me," Leinart said softly of 2-2 Arizona. "If I'm the franchise quarterback, play me and let me stumble, because I'll fight through it, and that will help me and our team in the long run. I know coaches want to win now, and I guess they have their reasons. But I don't understand it, and this switching back and forth is almost worse than getting benched."

The NFL needs to do something... too much is lost when a starting QB goes down. Either adopt rules that limit scrambling, cut down on the late hits or find another way to play offense.

The Cincinnati area got stuck with SF and Baltimore on Sunday. It made soccer look interesting. At least the Bengals total lack of defense makes for a lot of highlights.
