Again, almost every story out there right now is about Max Hall taking over for Anderson. Oh, and Warner is back in town for when he does commentary for the game on Sunday. There is also some talk about Brett Favre sending pictures of Little Brett to some lady that isn't his wife.
Arizona Cardinals may have the next Kurt Warner in quarterback Max Hall - Peter King - SI.com
Sometime around 1 p.m. this afternoon, Phoenix time, two quarterbacks will meet at the Arizona Cardinals' training facility. Kurt Warner, doing color for the Saints-Cardinals game on Sunday in a delicious bit of TV gerrymandering, will stand and shake hands with the man he used to be. And Max Hall, probably, will blush a little bit.

Max Hall is a polarizing figure. Some think he's the next Joe Montana. Some think he's incapable of taming NFL defenses. Debate is pointless, for the truth is coming. Once Hall became the Cardinals' starting quarterback, it didn't take long for his replica jerseys to hit the shelves. And it's almost fitting that Hall's first NFL start will come Sunday, at home, against the defending Super Bowl champions, against a malicious defensive coordinator, against the team that eliminated the Cardinals in the playoffs, against a defense that sealed Kurt Warner's thoughts on retirement.
Arizona Cardinals' Alan Branch moving steadily forward
On a defense that yielded 34 points and 180 rushing yards, it's hard to find a player worthy of praise. But end Alan Branch, a backup, played well enough Sunday against the Chargers to earn more time this week, coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
Cardinals Coach, RB Look Forward To Saints
Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and RB Beanie Wells conducted conference calls with the New Orleans media today. Whisenhunt discussed the play of his defense, his decision to insert QB Max Hall into the starting lineup on Sunday against New Orleans and the difficulties of repeating as experienced when the Cardinals made Super Bowl XLIII as well as when he was a Super Bowl championship offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh. Wells discussed the quarterback change as well as what his unit has been doing to be more productive.

Arizona Cardinals' Max Hall: Undrafted to NFL starter
A whole lot of undrafted quarterbacks have made an impact in the NFL, from former Cardinals and Rams star Kurt Warner to Tony Romo to Hall of Famer Warren Moon. But few have had a chance to make an impact as quickly as Max Hall, the Cardinals rookie from Mesa Mountain View High and Brigham Young, who will be in the starting lineup Sunday in his fifth game as a pro.

Quick Reaction: Why The Cards Did The Right Thing In Going With Max Hall | Bleacher Report

Larry Fitzgerald's future could be tied to Max Hall | ProFootballTalk.com
We mentioned earlier Friday that undrafted rookie Cardinals quarterback Max Hall is under unique pressure as he readies for his first NFL start. Here's another factor to consider: Hall's success may ultimately be a huge factor in determining where Larry Fitzgerald signs his next contract.
Max Hall Is Not Your Typical Rookie - Desert Dirt - SB Nation Arizona
People are excited about his accuracy, but mostly it is the intangible part, the "it factor." Kurt Warner had it. When he played, everyone around him felt obligated to play better. What is the "it" that Hall has? It's hard to pinpoint, but one local radio guy (Ron Wolfley) defines it as knowing that in his head Hall can't be successful but feeling in his heart that he can be.

Let's assume for a moment, that you, the intrepid sports fan, absolutely loves to root for a team that wins. The thrill that comes with the taste of victory is all you need to satisfy that inner, primal hunger.

Apparently, we don't believe in that kind of hoodoo-voodoo trash around here. ‘Win', ‘Victory'; those are just words. Who needs ‘em, right?

KTAR.com - Burns: Manage your expectations
If you're a Cardinals fan who has decided that Max Hall is football's version of penicillin, let me pose this question to you: If 49ers Mike Singletary decided to start an undrafted rookie at quarterback, how would you react? You'd laugh, that's what you'd do. You'd shake your head in some kind of stunned wonderment while asking yourself…what exactly is going on up there? It's a reasonable reaction.

I'd love to discern some common theme for Week 5, and perhaps with the assistance of some computer program and a team of scientists I might. But this seems like about as random a collection of games as there is possible. There's only one divisional game on the docket and few games with any other rivalries, geographic or otherwise. Regardless, though, there are some intriguing plotlines, and we should see plenty of good football.
