    So can we officially lable this guy a bust?

    His completion percentage has been over 80% but it looks as if the majority of them are coming off short throws and dump off passes to the RBs. There is no big play-making ability in this guy and that is what looks to be his biggest weakness/downfall.

    Honestly Max Hall has looked a lot than him this preseason and this shows how much of a baby he is. He didn't even go to the coach before he made these statements.

    WTF? I want an explanation, but I'm not actually going to make the effort to ask for one?

    FIXED or no? :eek:

    I don't see where he "expresses displeasure"... :confused:
    In his first few games, I remember DC say something to the likes of "Well, I am not the one who calls the plays." :( But he lasted a long time (that's what SHE said) playing quarterback for the team.

    LOL right?! I haven't seen him play that much this preseason but the articles I've read are calling him Captain Checkdown. Seems like he hasn't matured at all and I think its fair to label him as a bust. Wouldn't be surprised if the Cardinals cut him after the final preseason game.

    So, after reading the quotes from him, you are gathering that he thinks it's just A-OK that the coach hasn't named him the starter?

    You're ignoring his intangibles.

    Well, ok, I know he's not A-OK, but I am talking about the way that the report's headlines say something he DIDN'T say (on the other hand, the report doesn't say "Leinhart said that...", either. Not important, really... I just thought, "man, the media like to ruffle feathers." It is a concern for the Cards, though, to have this just two weeks before the season starts. Meh, that's all the time for any team who lost their veterans. :grin:

    Actually that was just my title. :grin:

    This was their's: Matt Leinart still upset about situation

    I guess I like to ruffle a few feathers but I'm not a part of the media by any means.

    On Topic - VY looks like a better QB than Leinart at this point in their careers. And Brady Quinn shouldn't be considered a bust, imo, if Tebow turned out to be a failure at the QB position would you consider him a bust?

    I remember seeing the post game conference after his last game and I couldn't believe he was complaining about the blitzes. It almost seemed like he thought they shouldn't be able to.
