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).

I wouldn't trade a draft pick for Leinart, just in case we are in the QB derby next April. But we have a disgruntled saftey on our roster. Change of scenery may do both Leinart and Page some good.
And Haley's future has to be considered as well. If we are in the QB derby next April, Haley is probably gone. Does he prefer to go down with Cassel? Or would he rather tie his future as an NFL HC to Leinart?
