I'd rank him in the bottom 10.

I still think he'd suck badly enough that they'd at least end up trying Leinart for a few games at some point during the season. So that would keep his overall #'s down. And I have no doubt that if he got enough snaps, he'd lead the league in INT's by a comfortable margin. (Take THAT, Jay Cutler!)
I do think he'd be better for both Fitz and Breaston, however. He'd connect on plenty of deep balls. A number of them against soft prevent defenses as they scramble to catch up, down 3 scores thanks to his multiple first half turnovers.

worse than the cellar dwellers, moore and freeman and delhomme and co?
Well, my understanding is that Freeman has looked good this year. Moore definitely looked good at the end of last year. Delhomme is in Cleveland now and getting some decent press. So, I guess the answer to that is yes. But the real answer is "yes, but it's irrelevant". What difference does it make if either of them look slightly better than other QBs you wouldn't draft? Unless that group of undraftable QBs makes up about half the NFL teams, you can find better, even if you wait until late to draft a QB.
bottom 5, threat to implode in any game. Lets remember we're talking about a guy with a 44.5% completion rate last year and an even lower passer rating. In seven starts last year, he went over 125 passing yards ONCE. He only managed over 100 THREE times.

Bottom 5.
New offense for a guy that looked as bad as he did last year. Posted a couple weeks ago that I thought Leinart would start Week 1 (for that very reason -- experience). Also thought Leinart would get cut (because there's no sense in keeping him around as a 4th year system backup vs. 3 other rookies to the system) if that didn't happen.
Game 3 should be interesting for Matt. Not looking good for him -- but as bad as Anderson can look -- I hardly think Derek's a shoe in to be the starter.
Quite possible Derek/Matt are playing for a roster spot because they don't want to carry 4 QB's (nor lose one of Max Hall/Skelton to waivers). Matt's due I believe $11 mil next year so if he's not the present (Anderson) nor the future (Hall/Skelton/someone else), there's no reason to keep him around as a backup.

I think he's somewhere in the 20-24 range for QB's if he starts. He's not very good at all. But he can at least throw a good deep ball and should be able to hit a few of those now and then, especially during garbage time.
But with the two rookies hanging around, it would not surprise me to see one of them get a chance mid-season if the Cards are really sucking.

He had game last year where he was 2 for 17 for 23 yards! That average isn't good in baseball, let alone as a starting QB in the NFL. Bottom of the barrel.

Yes. The difference is those other guys jobs are fairly secure at least for this year (although Moore could get replaced by Clausen late in the year). One bad game and Anderson could be out.

That's really what matters most. I'd have the same lack of confidence in either but Anderson arm helps the big play and maybe hurts Hightower a little in PPRs because of no Matt "Checkdown" Leinart.

Yet there the Cards are, seriously giving DA a shot to beat out Leinart.Oof.

This. DA's weakness is a delhommian like fearlessness of throwing the 'jump ball' INT. Larry Fitz is one of the best deep jump ball adjusters around.. This would substantial boos the WRS value in my eyes, though I'm not sure he'll fare much better than Leienert in the wins dept.

In fairness there was a LOT going wrong both CLE at the time with injuries, trades and dearths of talent under a new regime. But wow that sux.I think DA would fare better with the cards line, which while it ain't the best OL, is miles ahead of CLE (which is somewhat suprising considering the high draft picks and dollars in CLE's line)

Don't get me wrong here, DA is horrible, but his receivers had at least 9 drops in that game.

Call it what you will but DA got a win for his w-l record for that game...

Looking past Anderson then, who is the QB to grab for AZ this season and beyong. Is it Hall or Skelton that gets the shot?
This year Hall, next year, first round pick, unless Skelton develops VERY quickly.

From the prolific Warner years to 3.3 yards and a cloud of dust. It sux to be a Cards fan again...

I'm not sure it's that simple. Both guys have been very good. Skelton has the size and arm, and Hall has the pocket presence. It will be an interesting battle to watch.

DA... He killed a few fantasy teams a couple years back based on his ADP. The only thing going for him is that he can get the ball down the field. He's got a laser arm. As the podcast puts it, "he couldn't hit the ocean if he were throwing from the beach." So he has accuracy issues, but if you can get it down the field to a streaking Fitzgerald, I think you could actually see a decent game or two from this dude. It'd be too hard to predict when they'd hit, so he's really not draftable, but I think he's somewhere in the mid 20's.
