KFFLians are saying....

You would not reccomend him as a third QB even in the deepest of leagues? Nonsense. You sound like a guy who was burnt once and lost objectivity. So... 16 team leagues are fairly common so we'll roll with that. Please tell me what 48 QBs you'd take over Lienert.

Gill, First, please read what I wrote. I didn't say to avoid him like the plague. I said it is tough to recommend him even in the deepest of leagues. That doesn't mean don't draft him at all. If you are in some ridiculously sized league, like a 16-teamer, any player with a pulse at every position is being drafted. And I'm the one without objectivity :)

Gill, at 11:20 on 06/22/10, says:

alright, what 24 QBs would you take over him?

Cory J. Bonini, at 12:39 on 06/22/10, says:

Gill - On average, Leinart is the 27th quarterback taken, so I'm not alone here. In no particular order, Rodgers, Brees, Peyton, Brady, Rivers, Romo, Schaub, Cutler, Ryan, Kolb, Favre, Eli, Flacco, McNabb, Palmer, Roethlisberger, Stafford, Henne, Orton, Cassel, Alex Smith, Sanchez, Garrard, Hasselbeck, Edwards, Campbell, Young ... at 24 yet? I would be tempted to take Derek Anderson before Leinart. He fits the system better. I won't be surprised if DA wins the job in camp or early in the year.

Oh, and I forgot Matt Moore.

Jack Douglas, at 08:23 on 06/24/10, says:

There is no doubt that Matt Leinert needs to step up now and show he belongs. I think it is 50/50 on the issue of whether he will do it in 2010. In his favor, the Cardinals have talented receivers to help him, even with the loss of Anquan Boldin. However, losing Boldin was huge. I am not sold that Arizona will be able to run the ball. Let's wait and see on that as history is against them. I think Matt Moore is a man headed for a probable bad year at quarterback. He would be my first choice here. How about Kevin Kolb? The pressure on him in Philadelphia as a number one quarterback will be much greater than as the backup quarterback. The Eagles' fans can be harsh on players who disappoint. If Kolb starts slowly, watch out. Of course, he might also have a great year. The Eagles have solid weapons for the quarterback to rely on and Andy Reid likes to throw the ball. This is what makes this so much fun ... the fact that it is often such a crap shoot.

If I had to bet, I would bet against Matt Leinert. There are much safer picks out there. And I agree that Derek Anderson may even beat him out.

Eric McClung, at 03:12 on 07/12/10, says:

Unless there is a keg in the end zone, Leinart isn't going to be headed in that direction very often.

Tim Heaney, at 11:24 on 07/15/10, says:

Gill, Matt Leinart never had the chance to burn anyone in the first place.

Michael, at 10:51 on 07/24/10, says:

I'm not into Leinart unless he really shows me something first. On Eli I donlt think it is fair to say "he's no Peyton" because who is? I don't know about 4000 yards but Eli has a cadre of WRs without a total focus on any one or two. 3800 and 25 TDs is what I see as the low end for him.

Rick, at 11:59 on 08/17/10, says:

Who the hell wants to play in a 16-team league? I doubt Leinart could beat out Rex Grossman!

Ron, at 07:32 on 08/20/10, says:

Leinart is the reason Fitz is hurt! He throws to late (he's timid, indecisive, or just slow) which gives his receivers no time to protect themselves or God forbid gain yards after. He had enough time to learn from one of the best K.W. He should go back to college and party with the cheerleaders, what he was really good at. Now Eli is a different story. Look at his stats he gets better every year. I'm not a huge fan of his and it looks like he gets really lucky at times. But he does get the job done. So maybe not so much luck, he just does not give up. As for the running game, at the start of the season maybe a 50/50 split run/pass. But BJ not the beast he was and Bradshaw with 3 surgeries in the off-season I doubt he last. But I will take Bradshaw late in the draft if I can. The first half of the season he will surprise.

Seriously? It feels like KFFL calls Eli Manning a bust every year. It's just time to admit he's slowly becoming an elite quarterback.
