TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals are home after a week on the road, dragging a quarterback controversy that shows no sign of any quick resolution.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt, speaking after the team practiced on Monday, seemed happy to allow the issue to simmer. Asked if he would name his starter after Thursday night’s final preseason game against Washington, the coach replied, “Who knows? Maybe we’ll keep them guessing.”
It’s a situation Whisenhunt created with his surprising decision to start Derek Anderson in last Saturday night’s game against Chicago ahead of Leinart, who had been the No. 1 quarterback throughout training camp.
While Anderson expressed gratitude for the opportunity on Monday, Leinart said he believes he has outplayed his competition and that his problem with Whisenhunt “probably goes beyond football.”
