CHICAGO (AP) -- Matt Leinart had one request for his head coach.

"Call anything," he told Dennis Green.

The rookie clearly was confident.

Leinart showed why the Arizona Cardinals selected him with the 10th pick in the draft, and the Arizona Cardinals beat the Chicago Bears 23-16 in Friday's preseason game.

He took over for Kurt Warner in the second quarter and completed 15-of-21 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown.

"I feel comfortable with the offense for the most part right now," Leinart said. "So they called a lot of stuff, and I just went out there and tried to execute."

He entered the game with 5:13 left in the second quarter and completed 12 consecutive passes at one point, while leading the Cardinals (2-1) to a field goal at the end of the first half and a touchdown early in the third quarter.

Leinart completed all six passes on his second possession as the Cardinals drove 54 yards in the final minute of the half, Neil Rackers' field goal extending their lead to 10-6.

After Antrel Rolle intercepted Rex Grossman on the opening possession of the third quarter, Leinart went 4-for-4 as the Cardinals drove 42 yards against the Bears' first-string defense for a touchdown that made it 17-6.

"It's awesome," Leinart said. "It's good reps and experience for me just in case I'm thrown into the mix or if something happens. I can play at a high level, like Kurt plays at."

^^Bush won the Heisman and got all the pub, but Matt will have the best career of the two as a pro. His receiving corps is . And BTW, as big of a VY fan as I am, he has a lot of catching up to do to duplicate what Leinart is already doing. I just hate that he will be a thorn in my Cowboys' rear for at least 10 years

Matt Leinart was a better college QB than all of them though.

Leinart will be the next Tom Brady. Leinart's game mirrors Brady's. Both are heady quarterbacks. Both can move just enough. Both are proven winners. Both have had their arm strengths questioned. I think Leinart will be a starter by game 6. He will put up big numbers too. Watch.

I think that will be the biggest mistake of a team passing on a guy.

In this draft.

Followed by the Steelers passing on LenDale White.
