The Cardinals still haven’t settled in with a quarterback since Kurt Warner retired, and in Lindley the team thinks it may have found a QB with good upside value down the line. The scouts like Lindley’s size and arm strength, but have concerns about his throwing accuracy, which trailed off his senior year at San Diego State. He may have been trying to force his throws as he tried to learn the third different offensive system during his collegiate career. Most experts agree that his footwork also presented some problems. Still, the Cardinals think they can improve Lindley’s accuracy. It just may take some time.
