plenzmd1 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 First off, I'm a JP guy. Not ready to throw him under the bus yet, but just for grins lets speculate. From everything I read, ole Byron just about done in Jacksonville. Now, I personally do not think hes all that, but what about all you JP haters out there. Just curious, would you rather have him or JP. And if Leftwich, how much will it cost to get him? I believe next year is his last under contract, so you would have to give him an extension as well, so what would you pay him?
Dr. Fong Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I heard a weird thing about Leftwich the other day on Sirius NFL. He's 6'4" and has size 8 shoes. The speculation is that those dainty feet are part of the reason he has so much trouble with his ankle.
JStranger76 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I haven't seen him play since our opener a couple years back. It seems he has been injured an aweful lot. Although he has a cannon for an arm, he is not a very mobile QB, so I don't think he would fare too well here. If we had a better line I would trade for him, but to do it now the price would be too steep at the expense of other positions that need to be adressed. To answer your question, if we had a better line I would trade for him. Only a 2nd rounder though.
mike1011 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 He needs too much time to throw, his motion is too long, and he needs to much (e.g. Bledsoe) to be successful. Take away his D-fense and he's average.
East Brady Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I've thought the same thing, but then realize that, it would just be a move sideways because we have a cannon armed qb that can actually run. Byron has a better surrounding cast and thats what this team needs.
Astrobot Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Leftwich: Lower completion percentage, lower yards per completion, fewer 20+ plays, fewer 40+ plays, tiny lead feet, benefactor of great field position from his defense. No. Here's a link to the JAX board "Trade Byron Leftwich thread: Linky
JimBob2232 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Worth a first round pick. We havent spend one on a quarterback for a couple years.
SACKMARINO Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 He's 6'4" and has size 8 shoes. 827443[/snapback] wow. his weiner must be tiny.

CoachChuckDickerson Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Considering our options, can I get a "HELL YEAH!"
Ray Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Great--let's spend our 4th first round pick in less than a decade on a QB (Johnson, Bledsoe, Losman, and ??Leftwich/B Quinn). The only successful QB we have had in a decade is Flutie who was a non-draft pick from the CFL.
apuszczalowski Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Depends on what you can get him for, he would be an option, he isn't that bad as a QB, and could be a valid replacement for KH and could compete with JP in Training camp for the starting job
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 wow. his weiner must be tiny. 827606[/snapback] God, I'm really immature because they made me laugh out loud

I think Ken "The Snake" Stabler could challenge JP for the starting job in TC right about now.
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 That's not saying much. I think Ken "The Snake" Stabler could challenge JP for the starting job in TC right about now. 827806[/snapback] Well, the Snake is a Super Bowl winning QB.
Rayzer32 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Well, the Snake is a Super Bowl winning QB. 827808[/snapback] True, but isn't he like 84 years old? That's pretty much my point.
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 True, but isn't he like 84 years old? That's pretty much my point. 827812[/snapback] But he's a "high motor" 84 years old.
