GG Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Drafting Leinart would've made much more sense. The problem has been that we've gone to young, untested guys like Losman and now Nall for answers. Leinart would've been different. 731923[/snapback] That's not a totally fair comparison. Leinart is from Southern California, so he knows football much more than Losman.

bluenews Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Would we have a four QB rotation with each receiving equal snaps in practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting Leinart would have started the 3-year process at QB over again, something that we couldn't afford. Sorry, but as "ready" as all the media and hype has Leinart, I don't believe it.

I haven't read one publication, article, website, etc. that projects Leinart as the starter in Arizona. He has been mentioned as the 'most-NFL ready' QB compared to Cutler and Young, but I don't think anybody is touting him as this year's savior. I agree that Leinart's college success was very much a function of him playing on one of the most talent-laden teams in NCAA history. However, he was a VERY good QB. I see him having a very good career, but not necessarily outstanding. I envision more Boomer Esiason rather than Ken Dorsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of why he's not starting in Arizona is because he doesn't have to. They already have a pretty good QB in ol' Kurt for this year. Leinart is pretty average on the NFL level I think. He isn't going to be a star in the league, but he'll be a serviceable QB. I think, to be honest, he'll be recognized as solid but not above average. Not a question-mark, but not much more then average, such as a Trent Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 We'd be talking about his weak arm strength if we had him right now. He couldn't hack it in an AFC East environment with the wind and all that. He might have fallen into the perfect scenario for himself though. Edge, Bolden, and Fitzgerald are all locked up for the next few years. He could walk right into one of the most explosive offenses in the league. I think that this year will be another really good one in the streaky career of Kurt Warner. Then after next year, he rides off into the sunset out by Sundevil Stadium. Leinart steps in and turns into a short route passer like Tom Brady, but the deep ball of Todd Marinovich.

PromoTheRobot Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 No one seems to be picking up on the point I thought I was maing...that Leinert is holding out on AZ. And that if we drafted him, and he was holding out on us, that we would all be very unhappy. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Just like with Whitner? 732208[/snapback] Except that with our star savior QB holding out, people would be jumping off the Skyway. People aren't at that point yet with Whittner. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
