I hear Favre is still available

Hey Cards fans…guess what?!?!  A QB controversy is still a-brewing.

Matt Leinart was named the starter at the end of last season, but Kurt Warner wants the job.  And can you really blame him?

Leinart called his season-ending injury last year “a blessing.”  OK, so maybe he hurt more than his shoulder?  WHAT??!!  He claims he has a better handle on the job now.  Um, excuse me, did you not play QB at USC for, oh, I don’t know, 4 years?!?!

Tis true Warner had a good year (27 TDs, 17 INTs, 3,417 yds, 89.8 rating.)  Call me silly, but I would rather go with a proven leader than a newly-reformed upshot rookie whose offseason was graced with naked hot tub pictures on the internet.  Especially if the team is trying for the playoffs.  Let Leinart play in the preseason, let him play if the Cardinals get a comfortable lead in a game.  But don’t base the entire season’s hopes on him.  Just my opinion. And I can’t call Warner the ‘old guy’ anymore, as I’m slightly older than he is. Hmmmmm.

Oh, speaking of ‘old guys’, I hear Fave is still available.  He’s just waiting for Roger Goodell to reinstate him, but Goodell’s taking his time.  Probably playing golf with Bill Belicheat, er Belichick.  Oops, sorry did I say that out loud?  Anyway, should Favre be reinstated, the Packers have 24 hours to either sign or release him.  Talk in Green Bay is that they can’t release him for fear he’ll sign with rival Minnesota (since the Vikings don’t have a QB at all.)  Stay tuned…should be interesting.

You gotta love Warner’s expression…even behind the mask!!

    Hey! I write the Vikings blog at Content Quake  http://minnesotavikings.contentquake.com…)

    I’m guessing being a team with two potential starters that you haven’t been flooded with Favre news. Man, it’s all you see when you go searching for Vikings news. I’m hoping everything is settled one way or another in the next couple of days.

    As for Leinart and Warner, from an outsiders point of view I would be concerned about Warner starting. At this point in his career, Warner has flashes of brilliance followed by flashes of not being able to hold onto the ball to save his life. But, on the other hand, Leinart hasn’t really proven anything, either, so I can see why some people would lean toward Warner. It should be an interesting season in Arizona.
