How does Matt Barkley play into the Arizona Cardinals’ plans

Let’s take a trip back to last summer when the Arizona Cardinals were preparing to play in the final preseason game. We knew that Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton wouldn’t see any playtime, especially after the injuries both suffered in the season before, but we didn’t expect to see Phillip Simms starting for the team.

Well, maybe we did.

Logan Thomas and Phillip Simms were competing for the third quarterback spot on the roster, a place previously held by Ryan Lindley who lead the team into the playoffs into a disappointing loss at Carolina in the Wild Card round after injuries claimed their division title.
