Well, it's a good thing to know that you NEVER know what the hell you're talking about.
First off, Leinart was drafted to run Dennis Green's West Coast Offense. Green was fired after Leinart's first season and Whisenhunt runs a vertical offense, similar to the Coryell offense (which Vermiel, Martz, Saunders, Zampese, et al run). Leinart's not a vertical passer, he's a dink and dunk WCO guy. Competely different skillset.
Oh, and one more thing: Warner is clearly NOT on his last legs and he was already on the roster when Leinart was drafted.
