Ajamrani Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Matt Leinart is already familiar with Shanny's system so I do not think it is a bad signing..I would start him over Rex Grossman and John Beck..If they do sign him then it would not be a bad signing at ALL!!

jpage520 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 ^ Agreed. If it were to come down to Vince or Matt I definitely choose Matt. Seems like Young would cause more static and put us back in the exact same position again. Keep the drama out of D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMeast Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I say go for it. If the money is right why not? The Redskins could do a lot worse. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 hmm... I'll say this. It wouldn't make us any worse at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePenguin Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Doesn't Shanny know it is 2011??? He is bringing all the rookie QB's you loved in the draft years ago........... this is not looking good Well...we did start last season with the 90s all stars at HB. And Joey galloway. On the other hand, all are gone now. Why not give Leinhart a shot in camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I watched a game once between the Cardinals and Rams. Kurt Warner got the Cards up to a 28-0 halftime lead before leaving the game with an injury. With Leinart under center in the 2nd half the offense completely shut down and they damn near lost the game. If they want to give him a look, I will yield to the superior football knowledge of Shanahan but we have to keep him on a very short leash. If he plays like he did in that Rams game, he needs to be cut immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I would be more excited about Matt Leinart starting for us then John Beck but not by much As much as I hate the idea of John Beck starting for the Skins, (and I hate it A LOT) I would be even more pissed if Leinart was starting. Leinart is what I call a "celebrity of failure" and randomly plugging him into our offense as a starter would just make us look even sillier than usual. (A picture of Beck lying on the field unconscious on the cover of Mormon Magazine is way better than an overweight/shirtless Leinart in Entertainment Weekly with the caption "0-16".)

s0crates Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I hope this is a joke. I would rather go with Beck, Grossman, or almost anybody else really. Matt Leinart could not produce with two of the best wideouts in the game to throw to in Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins4ever Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Matt Leinart has shown nothing as an NFL QB thus far. I always thought that had he came out after his junior year when he won the Heisman trophy, he would have been the top player selected in the draft the very next year and most likely would have flourished right away in the NFL. He opted to stay at USC for his SR. year and I think it hurt him because although he was a top ten pick, he never outdid Kurt Warner. There's been reports of Leinart reporting to practice late after nights of partying. I hope Mike Shanahan knows what he's doing here. Maybe Leinart can turn his career around as a Redskin.

Destructis Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I am ok with this move. If the money isn't expensive, it's really a no lose situation. If Kyle and Mike feel that they can get a lot out of him, then go for it. Leinart has a beautiful throwing motion. If he comes into camp serious and puts in the film time and learns pretty quickly then keep him around. If he comes in and doesn't make the most of it, cut him in preseason. There really isn't a downside here. ---------- Post added July-27th-2011 at 08:23 AM ---------- No seriously, he's going to be a Seahawk.http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/usc/la-sp-farmer-nfl-20110727,0,5705173.column Article was posted last night at 7:30.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'm of the opinion that Leinart will never become an NFL QB, but then again nobody pays me millions for my football knowledge ... So if we do end up signing him, I hope it's in a way that allows us to cut him asap if needed without any real financial ramifications. If so, then bring on Leinart and let's see what Shanahan can do with the guy, if anything....it's apparent that Shanny is considering stockpiling failed QBs in hopes that one of them might still end up panning out (Grossman, Beck, maybe Leinart...even brought in Russell).

NavyDave Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Maybe the "Tanking for Luck" rumors are for real after all If we are going to suck this year, might as well do it so you can get one of those potential bluechip Franchise QBs coming out in 2012 and other pieces for the future. Why push to be at best 7-9 this year? Moral Victories still equal another Mediocre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
