Chiefs Matt Leinart

Coogs · 08-29-2010, 11:12 AM

Seems as if Leinart may not be the starter in Arizona. He already has a history with Haley, so picking up our offense should not be difficult for Leinart. Stats so far in pre-season for Leinart are 19-23 for 161 yards and a TD. 110.3 QB ranking.

I know Haley went with Warner over Leinart at the given time he was in Arizona. But I think it is fair to say that Cassel is no Warner. I wonder if Haley would prefer Leinart over Cassel at this point? If so, with Haleys relationship with the Cards appearing to be good, I wonder if there possible trade could be arranged involving players, and not draft picks?

Fire away.

We've already established that Leinart > Cassel in another thread

Sorry. Haven't read every thread. Started reading the ________ > than Cassel, but it appeared to be just a joke thread, so I stopped reading after 5 or 6 posts.

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).

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?

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.

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...

Pasta Little Brioni · 08-29-2010, 11:29 AM

If he's playing well, why would they trade him? Derek Anderson has a history of being an erratic and inaccurate passer and I doubt they'd be comfortable hitching thier wagon to him without a fallback option.

Don't know? Just throwing out an idea. If we did bring in Leinart, maybe the Cards would have an interest in Croyle. Croyle and Page for Leinart.

Max hall is the best QB on their roster right now, and I won't be the least bit surprised to see him getting a shot at starting by season's end.

Leinert sucks , Cassel sucks,Croyle sucks. We need to draft three ****ing quarterbacks nevt year. Period.

We probably will. And none of them will be named Luck, Locker, Mallett, or Gabbert.

I'd be all for pulling a Ditka to get one of them.
