Eschewing the superlative, I'd say he played very, very well in his limited time on the field.The most impressive rookie QB I've ever seen in the preseason.I'm not talking about stats. I'm talking about pinpoint accuracy, pocket awareness, leadership and the ability to scramble.If you don't know, now you know.
Not to jump on the bandwagon, but once you add in his limited time in in practice, I'd like to hear his critics tell us why we shouldn't be impressed.mrharrier said:Eschewing the superlative, I'd say he played very, very well in his limited time on the field.LHUCKS said:The most impressive rookie QB I've ever seen in the preseason.I'm not talking about stats.

He can piggy-back on Bush while yelling "yeehah". At this point, all they have to do is play a game or two in the NFL, which is a formality.Can he go directly to the Hall of Fame, or does he have to pass Go and collect $200?
Cutler was pretty good as well.LHUCKS said:The most impressive rookie QB I've ever seen in the preseason.I'm not talking about stats. I'm talking about pinpoint accuracy, pocket awareness, leadership and the ability to scramble.If you don't know, now you know.
He isn't from the Pac-10.Next.Cutler was pretty good as well.
The Pac-10 is a bunch of nobodies and USC.He isn't from the Pac-10.Next.Cutler was pretty good as well.

he fell to me at 7th in our rookie draft. I was happy to take him. Looks like a future stud, and a steal at that position.{dynasty}
"Voice of reason" or "person who can't comprehend an analogy"?Almost forgot: drafted him 10th (and Jennings 14th).A voice of reason, refreshing.

yeah, it's a shame that they passed on Cutler . . .I can't believe the Lions passed on him. You only get so many chance to draft a franchise QB.
Warner was great last week: 23 of 37, 300 yds, 3 TD'sDo you think that if/when he get hurt, Leinart is capable of putting the same numbers?The most impressive rookie QB I've ever seen in the preseason.I'm not talking about stats.

I don't think he'll put up the *same* numbers, but I do think they'll be very good numbers.Warner was great last week: 23 of 37, 300 yds, 3 TD'sDo you think that if/when he get hurt, Leinart is capable of putting the same numbers?The most impressive rookie QB I've ever seen in the preseason.I'm not talking about stats.

But Leinart is from the PAC-9 therefore they are already making a space for him in the Hall of Fame right next to Reggie's. Cutler may actually have to prove it on the field since he didn't come from the PAC-9.Leinart looked good, I thought Cutler looked better.

Good point...given that Vince Young has been sucking and Bush has been lighting it up.Pac10 = Conference of Heismans and ChampionsHave fun watching Oregon #####slap Oklahoma(the second best team in the sissy 12)USC is going to embarrass Nebraska.(the third best team in the sissy12)Maybe the big 12 should just move down to DII for the year so they can actually compete with the teams they face.But Leinart is from the PAC-9 therefore they are already making a space for him in the Hall of Fame right next to Reggie's.

This happened to me (Warner owner) and I was pissed, except we only had a 14 round draft & the guy took Leinert in round 9 as his QB2. I tried to trade him Wali Lundy for Leinert and he sat on the offer until the news that Lundy was traded.Even more maddening is the fact that his QB1 has the same bye as Leinert. He has since picked up Rivers as a third QB, but he is the only guy in the league carrying 3 QB's. I'm hoping Warner doesn't miss a game all year (I know, unlikely) and this guy's team ends up at the bottom of the league. He hasn't even tried to offer me a trade with Leinert.I drafted Leinart in Round 14 mainly to bust the guy's nuts that drafted Hurt Warner as his QB1.Granted, I liked the Warner pick because any QB with those WRs (and EJ) can put up really nice numbers. I just don't know why the guy didn't back up Warner with Leinart, especially seeing how Leinart has played during the preseason.Put me down for one that thought Leinart wouldn't amount to much in the NFL. If he keeps playing as well as he has, it looks like I'll eat my words.

The most impressive rookie QB I've ever seen in the preseason.I'm not talking about stats. I'm talking about pinpoint accuracy, pocket awareness, leadership and the ability to scramble.If you don't know, now you know.I was absolutely loving Leinart coming out of the draft, and Arizona got an absolute steal. I can't believe he went as late as he did, and I can't believe he went after Young. As a NY football fan, I also thought he was the right pick for the Jets -- this kid is a franchise QB, and is going to be a special one. He is the kind of guy you rebuild around. I'm sure Furgeson will be a nice player, but passing up Leinart was a mistake.And, I agree, from what I've seen of Leinart in the preseason, he has looked great. The pocket presence, leadership and comfort are what impress me the most. You'd never know he was a rookie.Mark me down as firmly in the camp behind this kid. He has grit like Brett Favre, and, as I've been saying all along, he is just a winner. He just finds a way to get the job done. That's the kind of guy I want to build a team around. He will have Super Bowl rings before its all said and done.
