starting job.
Leinart got the starting job for the Cardinals in the incoming NFL season after the superstar quarterback of the team Kurt Warner has announced his retirement from the game.
This early Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt expressed joy and excitement with the signing of Anderson.
Whisenhunt said despite a bad NFL season with his former team he is confident Anderson can bounce back and help the team achieve success in the next NFL season.
Despite starting as a back-up for the Cardinals, Anderson is ready to accept such role saying he is used to competing for the job as starter for any NFL team.
He said the move to start as a back-up is in itself great since it will allow him the chance to challenge and motivate Leinart to work harder if he wish to keep his job as top quarterback for the Cadinals.
Leinart for his part is happy with the addition of Anderson to their team since it makes the Cardinals stronger for the forthcoming NFL wars.
He said competing with Anderson for the starting job position is okay with him since that is part of the life of being an NFL player.
Looks like the Cardinals are in for a successful NFL season with the addition of Anderson to its rosters.
It is time to rock and roll for the countless fans of the Cardinals worldwide.
