Derek Anderson will start for Cards Saturday
Derek Anderson - QB - Arizona Cardinals
Aug. 26, 2010 - 5:00 PM ET
Derek Anderson, not Matt Leinart, will start the Cardinals' third exhibition game on Saturday.
Wow. We knew Leinart was losing the confidence of his teammates after playing tentatively in the preseason, but Anderson hasn't exactly been Joe Montana. Coach Ken Whisenhunt says Anderson isn't his permanent starter yet, but he'll play most of the first half and would likely lock up the job with a decent performance. Anderson has some QB2 appeal thanks to all the Cardinals' weapons. His cannon arm wouldn't hurt the fantasy prospects of Larry Fitzgerald.
