QB Controversy for Cardinals

Matt Leinart has already been benched by Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt in favor of Derek Anderson.  It seems like a rash decision from where I sit.  They really haven't given Leinart much of a chance IMO, they've only played 2 exhibition games so far and he didn't play much in either.  In those 2 games he completed 10 of 13 passes.  Granted, he didn't move the team down field in either game and his longest completion was only for 16 yards, still it doesn't seem like much of an opportunity for a former number 1 draft pick.  Throw in the fact that Larry Fitzgerald, Early Doucet and Beanie Wells have been banged up and not playing and it made it even tougher on Leinart.  I'm also not enthralled by Derek Anderson, he's bigger with a much stronger arm, but he's never been known for his smarts.  I really wish that they had given Leinart a legitimate chance during the regular season.  I guess I'll just have to give Coach Wiz the benefit of the doubt as he's seen every practice and no doubt feels the vibe of the team regarding the players confidence in Leinart.
