THIS ONE IS FOR YOU KOC. TIM WE DID IT.
I really do not understand how somebody can actually say that Matt is a better QB than Kurt right now, no way shape or form. Kurt should be the starter and Matt the backup and I dont know how anyone could say any different. I am anxious to hear it though.

What the hell does this team have with ML? The guy who looked so promising his rookie year, the guy who struggled last year or the guy who has looked decent and altogether crappy in the preseason. What is the difference for him? I do not feel comfortable with ML being the starter and I do not feel comfortable with Warner as the starter. Both guys screw the team in their own special way. Damnit!!!!

With the way our running game took over with some big plays we didn't get to see much of Warner this game. I would have liked to see him get more reps against the same D that Matt faced so we could have a more accurate assessment. Looks like it will come down to the final preseason game and it will be interesting to see how many reps each guy gets. I really hope Whiz doesn't gameplan and pound the ball against Denver's crappy run defense. I'd like to see both QBs rotate each series next game.

I would agree with you if Kurt came in a lit it up which he didn't. He came in a fumbled then threw one good pass and handed off the rest of the night. So there was nothing proven tonight. I'm not saying he wouldn't have looked better than Matt, he just didn't get the chance due to the running game.

It think it is apparent that Matt will start week 1 but will be on a very short leash.

100% this is not good. Even though Kurt should be the starter his fumble issues, not knowing when to take a sack, and dumb interceptions doesn't exactly give me a warm fuzzy either. If KW is out best chance at winning this year it could be a long year. 10-18 as a starter the past three years in AZ.

If Matt threw 21 TD's as Warner did in the last 7 games or so last year he would be known as the savior here on the board. Warner proved he can play AND win, even with one arm. If Warner would have played all year we would have went to the playoffs. I am VERY comfortable with Kurt starting as he went 5-2 in the last 7 games of the year last year.

Right now he doesn't have the confidence. I also think he fills the pressure of looking over his shoulder and seeing Kurt.

You said it better than I did. After Matt STUNK IT UP I fully expected Kurt to come out slinging. He didn't and we didn't need him to do so but it was a wasted opportunity on the QB front.

I hear what you are saying, but right now we have 2 options. Matt or Kurt and Kurt is the better option even though he does have his set of problems. Its kinda like getting married, All chicks got problems you just have to find the one whose problems you can work with.

I don't care who starts. I just don't want to be "adopting" a team for the months of Jan and Feb. I just want someone to lead this freaking team to the playoffs. Sorry not taking it out on you, it's just frustrating to have all the pieces and being held back at one position. KW played great last year, but I still can't help to hold my breath every time he takes the snap.

Of course there is alot of pressure for Kurt to come out and do that, not like last year when he knew he was the qb and could just go out and play. Lets just name him the QB, give Anquan his new contract and start the season!!!

Next week is meaningless. Shanahan rests the bulk of his starters in that game, on O and D, every single year.

The real decision is going to be made by Monday. But, I don't think we'll truly know until we see who runs out on the field Sept. 7.

So what you're saying is that since Kurt stayed upright last year he should get the start by default because there is no way a decision can be made off tonight.

Definitely meaningless. But Im betting we see a lot more of Matt then we would normally.

It's too early to give up on Leinart.

I think he'll be a fine back-up.
