theres still 3 preseason games to test his ability, perhaps even against 2nd stringers. My guess is that this next preseason game will be all about St. Pierre and Leinart again considering St. Pierre was named number 2 this game or w/e, but if Palko has as good a showing as last game, surely the Whizenator will take notice.

Okay I am confused…

Is ROTB a glorified message board or a place for journalism and news?

This article seems like it was just written by a Leinart hater that wants people to see his point of view. NO coaches have said anything bad about Leinart, NO coaches have said anything about BSP negatively.

I heard Mitch Mustain (sp?) on the radio last year, he’s a backup QB on USC and he said that he has never seen anyone with more arm strength than Matt Leinart. He went over and above stating that ML had a rocket for an arm. Hilarious, Matt doesnt have the passing skills to win a game? Laughable, see Monday night against the Bears. If not for wide right Rackers shanking that kick ML would have won that game. Oh and ML had plenty of arm strength for the rookie record in yards per game.

Simple rule to follow as a Cards fan from here on out:

LISTEN TO THE COACHES!!!

Whiz hasn’t lead us down the wrong path yet, so I will listen to him.

I thought ROTB was a place to go for well thought out articles not another Leinart hater making his unsubstantiated point of view. Disappointed….

As for Palki, keep playing well and Whiz will move you up. C

Yea I like leinart and I still think he will be the quarterback of the Future he looked real good against the steelers. Really I mean the dude was in a competition with Kurt last year he’s got skills! But really I like Palko to i’d like to see Palko the number three not BSP

I think I may have jumped the gun on you ROTB. I just saw that this “article” is under fanposts at the top. Which I am guessing means that a fan posted it. Not sure why that ends up on the front page though.

Also, to the fan poster or Original Poster:

I did not see that you had written “In my opinion” at the beginning. My apologies, I hope you accept them. You are entitled to your opinion and I respect it, although I disagree.

My only problem was that if people come to this site for news then that is what should be here. If it is for fans opinions that is what the forum or comments is for. So I am still learning the site and should not jump to conclusions.

As for an answer to the original question:

Palko looked good, but so did BSP last pre-season. Matt Leinart looked good, take Gruden’s opinion on that one. However, pre-season is a tough way to judge performance. If we take the Raiders pre-season last year, ML shouldnt be able to suit up. BSP outplayed him. But you have to take heavy consideration who is on the field when these guys are playing. Their supporting cast and their opponents. Makes things too tough for me to figure out. But once again I rely on the couches eyes and experience to make those decisions.

If Palko keeps playing hard and working hard in practice then Whiz has shown that he rewards that kind of behavior. Love his enthusiasm and thought he looked better than BSP but we shall see.

Ok he looked good, but he was also playing against other fourth stringers too, from the only team to draft lower than the Cardinals. Too soon to tell anything. I like the fact that it is an open competition. May the best man win. Warner is still the best, but he is injury prone. Work all three of these guys to see who is best suited to step in if heaven forbid Kurt goes down, and who if any is the future.

I am sure San Francisco, will be happy to dumpster dive any QB we don’t keep.

Palko played scrappy against future practice squad members, and we all like that, but lets not get too anxious about his future. There is a reason he has bounced around the league and it isn’t because he hasn’t gotten a fair chance. He knew when he came here that making the team would require a miracle. I think he is hoping to be the #3 someplace else, and so he is playing hard. Hope he does well but I can’t imagine a scenario where he is a Cardinal once the season starts.

Matt Leinart has the potential to be a servicable NFL QB and might put up fairly impressive numbers given the cadre of receivers the Cardinals have. His problem is not arm strength, though he is only average in that department, Rather, he is quite slow in his decision-making and delivery. Comparatively, Warner makes his reads and releases much more quickly. In a game where hundredths of a second can determine a completion or interception Leinart is exposed by his languid, long-arm delivery style. To some extent, he compensates with a very nice touch, accuracy and good visualization. In any event, Warner (like all QB’s) is one hit away from injury and/or retirement and the odds are that Leinart will be starting a portion of this year or next. BSP will, indeed, need to step up to retain a reserve role in the NFL. Palko is a guy who is easy to root for and much younger than BSP. It is hard to say what Wisenhunt is looking for in the #3 guy, but neither Palko or St. Pierre can legitimately push Leinart and Matt isn’t going anywhere.

palko isnt gonna ge much playing time. cards will release him and let him clear waviers. he will be back on the practice squad. by not playing him it gives them a better chance of getting him back and no team will sign him
