The Facts:
Leinart had three interceptions in the first half Saturday night's win over Oakland and completed just 4 of 12 passes for 24 yards. His passer rating was 2.8, which wouldn't even be a good GPA. HC Ken Whisenhunt deferred opinions on the matter until he reviews game video but didn't sound like he was close to making a change. "This is a process," he said. "This is part of the process, how Matt handles this and how he responds to this. You are not going to play great every week. We understand that."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Still, as Republic staffer Ken Somers reminded reader this morning, "In coaching, there's an axiom that has been around since the whistle was invented: Don't make decisions until you have to, because sometimes they are made for you." That could be the case with the Cardinals' quarterback situation. "I know Matt's down," Whisenhunt said, "but I'm not worried about Matt's confidence, because I think this competition, being pushed by Kurt [Warner], has made him mentally tougher." As Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio suggested: "If by 'tougher' Whisenhunt means 'not a better quarterback,' then we agree." The situation bears watching.
