Evaluating Matt Leinart's Expectations For 2010

As I sit here thinking about the Arizona Cardinals and what to discuss, it became evident to me that in the midst of Kurt Warner's retirement and the Super Bowl, we haven't discussed the future of Matt Leinart. So here's what we know so far:
- He was drafted out of the first round in 2006(10th pick overall), and was the heir to take over as the "quarterback of the future".
- That year, he took over for Kurt Warner following Warner's horrid 1-4 start, and had a marginally successful rookie season(4-7 record)
- In 2007, Leinart split duties with Warner through the first five games of the season before suffering a broken collarbone against the Rams.
- Since the injury, Leinart has appeared in just twelve games, seeing minimal playing time.
More thoughts on his career after the jump...

NFL Fanbases ranked by the Bleacher Report
Cardinals are #30. Can't say that I'm surprised considering all of the bandwagoners and fair weather fans the team gets now that they have actually started to win games.
I remember when Sun Devil Stadium used to have less than half of the seats filled up for a home game. Now lets just hope that people stick with the team even if there is a bad year coming up to see how faithful they will really be.

Top Five Single Game Performances Of The Arizona Cardinals Regular Season

in 2010 Offseason

As you know, we'll be releasing a "top five" list of various situations, and this week will be the top single game performances of the regular season. I decided to leave off the post season because we all know that Warner's game against the Packers was already honored as the Cardinal of the Week and was part of the top five games of Warner's career. Now let's take a look at the top performances of the season:
5. Week 5 vs Houston Texans - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, 3 Tackles, 1 PD, 1 INT, 1 TD
The Cardinals were fresh off of their bye week and were looking to get back into the division race when they played at home during week five. They faced a high-octane Houston Texans' offense that featured pro bowl quarterback Matt Schaub, and all pro receiver Andre Johnson. For the moments that Rodgers-Cromartie lined up opposite of Johnson, he made the most them by limiting Johnson's production. Unfortunately, DRC's counterparts couldn't say the same as Johnson scored twice in the game. Nonetheless, DRC later made the game-changing play with his interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter that would eventually be the deciding factor of the game.

The Consultants have the Cardinals at 40-1 to win Super Bowl XLV.
Assuming Matt Leinart replaces Warner, the two-time defending NFC West champs are sandwiched between the Cincinnati Bengals (35-1) and San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos (45-1).

RotB Playoff Pick'em Final Standings

First off, congratulations New Orleans Saints on their Super Bowl 44 victory. Hell hath truly frozen over. Congratulations also go to, um, me (?!), for picking the team that DaCards didn't pick, as my 31-30 Saints prediction garnered 37 Pick'em Points (matching Andrew602's Points with his 34-27 prediction) allowing me to sneak ahead of DaCards by four points — points lost due to DaCards picking the Colts to win 31-21. ::wonk, wonk, wooooonk::
And now for something completely different. Time to ponder the off season and prepare for the Cardinals trip to the 2010 post-season!
Thank you to everyone that participated in the three forms of RotB Pick'em this past season. Of the three formats used, was there one you enjoyed more than the others? For a refresher, in the pre-season we picked the whole week's schedule of games but the winner was who had the worst prediction percentage; during the regular season only eight games were picked from prime-time games and hard to predict match-ups and the winner was who had the best prediction percentage; and final format was to predict the final score Pick'em Points assigned based on a formula with the highest total Points crowning the winner for the playoffs. Next preseason will have something "different" once more but the regular season will be the same format unless there's a huge demand for another format. Pick'em Points worked out nicely for the post-season as well and could lend itself to the regular season as a potential tie-breaker rather than Weeks Won Points.
Final standings after the jump and I'll be back with the RotB Draft Pick'em in early April. Until then, be safe and sound.

New Orleans Saints Win The Big One, 31-17

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for winning Super Bowl 44. They did something the Cardinals weren't able to do last year, which was knocking off the favorites to win the game. I'll assume that the game wasn't as stressful for the fans as the last two years have been, especially when Tracy Porter picked off one of Peyton Manning's passes in the fourth quarter and returned the ball 74-yards to put the final nail in the coffin. Click on the image for a full set of pictures from the Super Bowl. The Saints did it, and now they're the Super Bowl champs.

Arizona Cardinals Fly Around the NFC West

As another week passes in the NFL, fans are now starting to realize that the season is coming to a close. Unfortunately, after getting accustomed the biggest NFL news story I’ve heard over the past two weeks has been the state of Dwight Freeney’s ankle. I am finally coming to terms with the fact that the season is over and my Sundays will now consist of 4 hours of Madden and the occasional NBA game. The silver lining is that there’s more football news during the week in the offseason. The first few days of free agency are a wild collection of rumors and half-truths, while draft day is one of my favorite days of the year. Since Kurt Warner’s retirement just shortened the gap between the Cardinals and other NFC West teams, it’s important to know what’s going on with them. After all, it was the great philosopher Sun-Tzu (or was it Amare Stoudemire?) who said, "keep your friends closer and your enemies closer."
