For the second time in three years, it looks like Ken Whisenhunt is giving up on Matt Leinart as a starting quarterback before the season even starts.
Whisenhunt announced that Derek Anderson will start Arizona's preseason game this week against the Bears. Matt Leinart will come off the bench late in the second quarter and play into the second half.

Mike Lombardi has put forth the notion that Leinart could be on the outs:
Could the Cardinals actually release or deal (not sure he has any trade value) the man they have pegged to take over for Kurt Warner? Based on Leinart's play this preseason, the scenario could actually become reality...
...If Leinart is not the starter, what purpose does he serve in Arizona? Once the decision is reached that Leinart is not the guy, then the Cardinals must move him along -- essentially waiving the 2006 first-round pick.
