This was an interesting point I heard about Leinart on NFL Radio.

They talked about how there was one player on the Jets (I think maybe it was Sanchez...) who was asked to be interviewed. He told the interviewer to hold on one second, ran and grabbed a Jets shirt, and then conducted the interview. I think his response was that even in that small interview, he was representing the Jets. And then he made the point that Leinart from day one was all about representing himself as being "too cool for school."

I found that really interesting. I think Leinart has the football smarts and ability to be a good QB. I don't think he has "it." I like that when you talk about Luck, Locker, Gabbert, you hear the words "heart" and "natural leader" a lot. If we're talking about a future face of the franchise, wait for next year's draft. If we're talking about free backup help, pick up a solid guy like Rosenfels who could come possibly for free (or else a real late pick).

How are the Chiefs going to pick up Sage for free? Do you think the Vikes are going to release him? Or trade him for a very low draft pick? When your starting QB is 96 years old?

He's Casshole v2.0 anyway.Another teams trash QB is not the answer to our historic QB problems.

If Cassel continues to suck balls, we will not have to trade up to get one. Plus, Haley is probably out of a job.

That was the purpose of the thread. If Haley's future is tied to a better season than last, does he go with Cassel... or does he prefer Leinart? And I chose Leinart because he probably knows the system... which would be huge right now before the season begins as opposed to someone not at all familiar with the termanology. Plus, Haley knows what he would have in Leinart, and benching Leinart for Warner is not that big of deal IMO.

I remember a game where Leinart came out and lit up someone in the first half. That was an amaz...never mind, that was against us.

screw it. I'd take him at this point.

No way in hell that they trade for Leinart. Seattle maybe and I could see him going there and looking more like a legit QB than here.

Why? KC in AFC West. Arizona in NFC West. Seattle in NFC West. KC makes more sense than Seattle if Arizona were to trade him.

Anybody in favor of getting Leinart over Cassel is a hypocrite.

Not a franchise QB either so what's the point?

hypocrite? I know I didn't want Cassel here in the first place so at this point I am willing to try anything.

So who do you WANT? Seriously Lienart is not better than Cassel. People that keep bitching forget that if All Pro QB's grew on trees every team would have one.

Lienart got benched for Derick Anderson for a reason and it's not because Anderson is good.

Matt Leinart sucks and he got punked by Ashton, don't want him.

I don't give a crap if he is better or not. He at least isn't afraid to throw beyond 5 yard patterns. I never said he was the answer but look at our QB options for christ sake. No depth and no options.

There's a good chance the Vikings do cut Rosenfels. He's making like $3m this year, and is 3rd on the depth chart. Childress has a thing for Tavaris Jackson...

We've been reduced to arguing for better stopgaps. :facepalm:
