A look at each team's biggest concern with the start of the NFL season less than a week away. Arizona Cardinals Derek Anderson is the starting quarterback but has struggled with accuracy throughout his career, completing 56 percent of his passes. Still, coaches say he had more skills than Matt Leinart, who was released Saturday, in terms of arm strength and leadership. Quarterbacks coach Chris Miller has worked hard with Anderson on developing touch on shorter throws and longer ones that require him to drop the ball between coverage.

One of the main goals of training camp was to find stability on offense, and that started with quarterback Matt Leinart, who was taking over for Kurt Warner.

But as camp progressed, coach Ken Whisenhunt became troubled with the offense's lack of productivity. While Leinart was accurate in the preseason, it seemed to Whisenhunt that he was failing to inspire confidence in teammates.

Whisenhunt chose his words carefully regarding Leinart, but there is no question that his benching and subsequent release would not have happened had Whisenhunt felt Leinart's teammates were behind him.

Now, the Cardinals will open the season with Derek Anderson at quarterback and the backups will be rookies Max Hall and John Skelton.
