Leinart Keeping Cardinals' Starting Job Despite Warner's No-Huddle Success

Ken Whisenhunt, the first-year coach of the Arizona Cardinals, said after Sunday's loss in Baltimore that he's sticking with Matt Leinart as his starting quarterback.

Veteran Kurt Warner replaced an ineffective Leinart and completed 15 of 20 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Cardinals to 20 of their 23 points.

Leinart connected on only 9 of 20 throws for 53 yards.

But Whisenhunt said that Warner will continue to receive playing time to run a certain offensive "package" in the Cardinals' game plan. Warner ran the Cardinals' no-huddle offense against the Ravens.
