Because they both suck?

Leinart took Arizona 142 yards in 3 possessions against the Bears. Probably would have had 2 TD's, but Well's fumbles at the 6 with about 40 seconds to go in the 1st half on Leinart's first drive.

Our guy... on the other hand... lead the Chiefs to 48 total yards on 6 posessions, only to get the ball back on a highly questionable penalty by the far outside guy on the punt return team of the Eagles.

These.

Actually, it does.

Teams draft players for specific systems. Teams routinely dump established QB's for QB's well-versed the new system being installed by the coach.

How many times has Pittsburgh changed their offensive philosophy? The Cowboys? The Patriots under Belichick? The Packers? Mike Holmgren led teams?

The fact of the matter is that coaches subscribe to ONE philosophy and teams that stick with that philosophy during regime changes are more likley to succeed than teams that are constantly changing their offensive and defensive schemes.

Leinhart has never been the right fit the Erhardt/Perkins offense. I have absolutely no idea, nearly 5 years removed from his college days, whether he can excel in the WCO but that's exactly the type of offense he should be running.

When you think about it... the QB classes of '06 & '07 all suck. Oakland made the biggest mistake by drafting the Hut at #1. Cudda had Quinn - suck. Cudda had Leinart - suck. Cudda had Cutler - INT machine. They all suck.

Forget Leinart. He's too much of a head case. I wouldn't mind having AZ's rookie QB John Skelton. He looked pretty impressive in that first game against Houston, and has a pretty decent arm. He looks better than Jimmy Falco, that's for sure.

Tommy Mattox would be a better choice

I think Haley would go with a healthy Croyle over Cassel at this point.

So the question isn't whether Haley would prefer Leinart over Cassel it's whether Pioli would? And the answer is no.

I keep hearing this, but it makes no sense. Why would Haley be out of a job? He didn't choose the QB.

Haleys job is not on the line with how Matt Cassel plays. Unless the team in whole doesn't improve, but Cassel is on the hot seat not Haley. Pioli will stick by Haley through next year. This is Haleys second year as HC, he brought in Crennel & Weis so his ego isn't too big.

Cards are going to cut either Skelton or Max Hall, both of whom I would claim as soon as they get the axe.

You know the Chiefs won't pick up any QB scraps out there.

That's insane that they would cut Skelton. I'd have to think that he's the most promising QB on that roster, and even if he's not ready to start in the NFL (he's not) they need to keep him around for when he possibly might be.

Max Hall has looked promising in his snaps, as well, which is why I say I'd claim either one of them.

Then there's also this:

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Cardinals see some "Kurt Warner qualities" in undrafted rookie QB Max Hall.
Hall has a been a "tremendous surprise" outplaying fellow rookie John Skelton throughout camp, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him with a couple of spot starts late in the season. Mort joins NFL Network's Mike Lombardi in speculating that Matt Leinart won't be on the final roster because the Cardinals don't want to lose one of the rookies on waivers.
