TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -Life after Kurt Warner has begun for the Arizona Cardinals, and Matt Leinart is stepping into that giant void.
Leinart watched for 2 1/2 seasons while Warner took the team to a level of success long-suffering Cardinals fans had never dared to even imagine – two NFC West championships, consecutive winning seasons and, of course, a Super Bowl.
In the few chances Leinart got to play, his performances often were erratic, and fans who once hailed his arrival as a savior to the franchise turned on him.
Through it all, Leinart has stayed the good soldier, praising Warner, saying he would work hard and would be ready when he got his chance.
For now at least, Leinart has that chance.
