Will Matt Leinart make it in the NFL or not??

[Dante]

what do you think abou this guy will he be another Ryan Leaf?

thoughts appreciated

 

[dmmd98]

As in anything he needs the right team and the right system but more then likely he will have an impact in the HFL. Will he be the next Peyton Manning who knows but aslong as he doesn't get thrown to the wolves he should have a good run at NFL QB

I think he will be a great QB someday....he has the arm, no doubt.

 

[ClipJoint]

He has the great benefit of playing in a "pro offense" right now just like Carson Palmer did. His learning curve will not be as steep and he is already mature beyond his years (Ryan Leaf still hasn't matured).

I don't think there will ever be another QB bust like Ryan Leaf.

I think he'll be an NFL lock. VERY poised.

The G.M. that drafts Leinhart #1 will lose his job within 3 yrs as his team plummets down the drain. If you watch and study Leinhart carefully, all of his big plays occur under two circumstances: 1) a WR running wide open with no DB in sight, or 2) Leinhart sitting in the pocket with 10 seconds to throw. USC during their run is playing teams with NO defense. The few times he gets blitzed Leinhart appears very uncomofortable. The NFL is a blitzing leagur and you must have the hose of an arm to throw into tight spots, which Leinhart doesn't have. He has great touch and is very accurate, but if you watch his games closely, he RARELY if ever has to drill a ball into a tight spot while being rushed. He is unathletic, which will only decline, and has had NO experience against blitzing tough defenses. His worst game of this two yr run was last week vs ASU, a team that finally came after him a little bit and made him rush a throw or two. Leinhart might be the most overrated player in the history of college football and will ABSOLUTELY NOT be a successful starting QB in the pros. He will get the opportunity given he will be drafted so high, but a G.M and head coach will lose thier job once he flops. Lastly, his decision to return to school after already having accomplished everything there is to accomplish in college revealed a lot. He himself revealed he "wasn't physcially ready for the pros", and if anything is not playing as well as he did last yr. How much does he really care about football if he wanted to hang out and be a "rock star" in L.A. for another yr. Study Leinhart closely, and you will see that he is playing with NFL talent around him that makes things very easy for him, but if he ever had to play against a REAL TOUGH DEFENSE, things would be different

WRONG!!!!!


THis guy is gonna be one of the most hyped flops in the draft next year...

I specifically watched yesterdays USC game with the intention of trying to figure him out and confirm the suspicions i have about him!!!! I was gonna start a thread in about a week or two declaring him a fraud but i might as well come out with it here...


Most people have difficulty deciphering between a system quarterback and a smart future NFL qb type!!!! So lets stick to the very basics that can help you determine which qb is the best.

Leinert can not read defensive schemes....

Leinert is horrible at going through his progressions, horrible!!!! i dont even think he bothers, its always shoot to the primary reciever down field and thats all he knows... This is really important because in my opinion, the qb who can complete that easy 7 yd pass is way more valuable than the guy who completes the big 40 yarder once or twice a game.


Fellas this kid is a pure system/player product and has no genuine ability, you will never see a "smart" play out of this kid, you will never see a "great read" from this kid.....For him his game is like this "Look for primary reciever
and throw ball" He cant figure out who is matched up with an LB, where rush will come from (and his line is great and hiding this fact)


You can forget it!!!! this kid sucks...And you can imagine my horror when one of our radio personalities mentioned that if we(titans) end up at the bottom of the heap this year we might have to take this fraud!!!!!uke1:


Ps..This is not because i lost money on USC yesterday, i have always posted my suspicions about leinert on this forum

redpimp, you're very opinionated, good luck.

Leinart will have a longer career taking snaps than Vincent Young

I don't know about that. Young's passing skills have jumped leaps and bounds from last year to this year. He is really starting to remind me of Michael Vick (minus the herpes:hump: )..

great replies thank you all

Leinart to follow Warner's glove lead

9 commentsby Kent Somers - Nov. 27, 2009 05:49 PM
The Arizona Republic
The high temperatures remain in 70s in the Valley, but gloves never have been more popular among the Cardinals.
Quarterback Matt Leinart started wearing one on his left hand this week, following the lead of backup Brian St. Pierre, who has worn one on his right hand for a few weeks, and starter Kurt Warner, who has worn gloves for games for three seasons.
"I figured I'd follow my two fellow teammates," Leinart said


"I like it. I've had a little problem with the grip on the ball in a few games, just being a little slick. I just thought I'd try the glove."
If Leinart plays Sunday in Tennessee, he plans to wear the glove.
But he's not making a lifetime commitment.
"It's one of those things where you have to be careful not to get used to it because then you never want to take it off," he said. "That's what happened to Kurt."

A different 7-3


The Cardinals are 7-3 for the second consecutive season, and a fourth consecutive victory Sunday would be their longest regular-season winning streak since 1999.
Last season, the Cardinals struggled at this point, losing four of the final six, including three by at least 21 points.
While the record is the same, the Cardinals think they are better this season.
"I think we're a much more mature team," Darnell Dockett said.

Tough task ahead


The Cardinals face the NFL's leading rusher Sunday in the Titans' Chris Johnson, who has run for 1,242 yards. Dockett said the Arizona defense will have its hands full.
"He's one of the most explosive players I've seen in my six years in the league," Dockett said.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt said the Cardinals seriously considered drafting Johnson two years ago and always has appreciated his abilities.
"He's fast, he obviously has got a lot of confidence . . . but when he gets in the open field, he's scary," Whisenhunt said.
Just as scary is the fact the Titans now are running option plays with Vince Young and Johnson.
"It's definitely a challenge," Whisenhunt said.
