He eventually left the team to join the New York Giants , but once again he lost his starting job replaced by an ineffective Eli Manning and signed on with the Cardinals in For the third time, Warner lost his starting job due to mediocre performances and injuries.
After the season, Arizona selected Heisman winning quarterback Matt Leinart with their first round draft pick.

Up front their line was anchored by defensive lineman Bertrand Berry , who recorded five sacks and forced two fumbles, along with tackle Darnell Dockett , known for his ability to blow up running plays.
Linebacker Karlos Dansby was also a solid contributor, recording four sacks, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles, while also leading the team with tackles. The Cardinals secondary was led by rookie cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie who led the team with four interceptions and Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson fourth on the team in tackles, Arizona advanced to the Super Bowl by beating the fifth-seeded Atlanta Falcons 30—24, the second-seeded Carolina Panthers , 33—13, and the sixth-seeded Philadelphia Eagles , 32— Warner played exceptionally well in those games, throwing for a total of yards and eight touchdowns, with only two interceptions, giving him a rating of The Cardinals also got a big performance out of Larry Fitzgerald, who caught 23 passes for a postseason record yards and five touchdowns.

The other two times the team wore white was as the "visiting team" against the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IX during a time when the designated "home" team was required to wear their team colored jerseys and against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL despite being the "home team" that season but having road success in the playoffs.
In addition, teams wearing white jerseys in the Super Bowl extended their winning streak to five games, dating back to Super Bowl XXXIX , currently the longest such streak between white and team colored jerseys in Super Bowl history. McHugh, who spent the past three seasons with the Detroit Lions , made that team's man roster at the end of the preseason, only to be released 24 hours later alongside linebacker Anthony Cannon in order for the Lions to make room for linebacker Ryan Nece and running back Marcus Thomas.
The subsequent media attention surrounding McHugh had to do with him being deemed not good enough for the Lions a team that would finish , the NFL's first imperfect season since the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers , but good enough for a Super Bowl team such as the Steelers and being a valuable blocker for Ben Roethlisberger and Willie Parker.
