Ricky Ervins Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 IF, the Skins don't draft a QB we are looking at a pretty uninspiring crop of free agent QBs. Matt Leinart will be a free agent at the end of the season. He spent this past year learning the Gary Kubiak offense, which of course is basically the exact same offense and terminology we run. Yes he is the typical big name, low production guy that fans on this board continuosly clamor for, but he is a first round talent who has NEVER had a chance. If we dont pick a qb in the first round this year, how do we feel about bringing him in to compete with Sexy Rexy and Beck? He's definately not hte answer, but hes a former first roudner with a year worth of experience in the offense. Couldnt we do a lot worse then bringing him in to compete with the 2 headed monster of Sexy Rexy and Beck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missin Meast Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Leinart is more worried about looking good and living comfortably .... he has starter capabilites but 3rd string effort. He will be a backup in this league forever....which he is fine with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfriedenthal Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Matt Leinart, despite lighting it up in pre-season, looking VERY sharp was cut due to his personality, and immaturity..... Does that sound like someone who would get along wtih Shanny? See: Thomas, Devin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryGreenMonk Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Never had a chance?Really? He really didn't. Dennis Green was always pissed at him for his holdout on the team following his drafting. He then suffered 2 season ending injuries in each of the following 2 seasons. His first rookie season as a starter he started 11 games with about 2500 yards and 11 TD's before being injured. He had an o.k. passer rating for a rookie and did fairly well. His second season he started 5 games before he had another season ending injury. That was pretty much his last chance as he never started again and over the next several years on threw 29 passes in regular season play as mop up duty for Warner. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in to compete if he's super cheap and we don't draft a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightbird Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 He had a chance -- Arizona practically begged him to seize the reigns of that offense, and he couldn't do it. How many other young qb's get to enter the league with a strong running game and TWO hall of fame quality receivers? He's a terrible football player. Sometimes it's that simple. I'm content to leave it at that, regardless of where he played in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPCreativelab Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 by 'never got a chance', do you actually mean...he never got a chance to.....sleep with the coaches wife? or....eat some nachos? or ...party at the club more?

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 This is going to sound wishy-washy, but if the coaches believe he's a good fit, I'm in. The guys HAS to have talent to do what he's done in college. It's very possible that he doesn't have the maturity or the leadership, but if he's cheap, knows the system, and had a fire lit under him for being cut...I'm sure it's worth a gamble. I'd assume that, if motivated, he can perform better than Grossman...but I could be wrong. In conclusion, I won't be up in arms about it if the coaches bring him in.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 You can't drop Matt Leinart in a city filled with 22 and 23 year old interns. Is there a Salt Lake City in the NFL? He needs to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Edds Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 he doesn't seem to have the desire to me to be a franchise QB. I don't see him amounting to much in the NFL, other than a back-up. But I've been wrong before. I'd rather keep Rexy, and draft someone to groom though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
