Hats off to Mitch

Credit where credit is due. Mitch called this one from a long way off.

Broken clock.

+1. Never thought it was gonna happen this way, but Mitch went out on a limb and called his shot.

Broken clock.

I had originally typed "blind squirrel," but I didn't think it in the spirit of the thread.

But, seriously, it's a call that I thought was WAY off. It wasn't. Kudos.

Nothing has happened yet other than rumblings.

Which thread? Toast or the Most?



Mitch nailed it on one of them.

I didn't expect Leinart to be benched until his play dictated so. The way Whisenhunt hasn't been very receptive to Matt in the past should have been an indication....

True true. Two radical positions, one is bound to hit with this team.

Always hats of to all posters, where the news keeps coming. I would like to brag however, I said a few weeks ago that I had inside information that Anderson would be the starter.

Mitch should have been back with the giant "I TOLD YOU SO"!

But he has more class than I do...

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Hey, Mitch!

 

[TheHopToad]

Wow. Just went back and re-read the original post. Right on the money! Great Job Mitch!

Credit where credit is due. Mitch called this one from a long way off.

You are referencing August 16th. This is what he said eight days later.

Mitch - August 24, re: Roster prediction:

QB (4): Leinart, Anderson, Skelton, Hall

The future seems more important than the present at this point, and after Max Hall's nifty, albeit inconsistent, performance on national tv no less, there is a risk that he might get claimed off waivers.

Hall has the feet and vision that the others lack. Simple as that. And he can deliver the ball, too.

Leinart looks numb. Anderson looks panicky. Neither set up well at all. In fact, Anderson's setup is just plain awful. He's just winging it...playing hot potato...no poise.

Funny that Whiz has basically frozen Leinart thus far: did not let the offense go for it on 4th and short on 2 of ML's 3 series...yet Whiz sticks with Anderson for almost two whole quarters...and goes for it on 4th and short with Anderson in the game.

Whiz looked excited when Anderson first went in and the ball was moving.

But then, despite a couple of good passes, Anderson played like an awestruck rookie in the red zone and then basically lapsed into goofiness.

It looks like his signing was just as we all feared: a poor football decision made by a team that had multiple opportunities to make a move for a viable contender at QB.

It looks like it will be Leinart or bust and to this point we have no idea what ML will do. The scrutiny on him is relentless...and will persist if he remains a three and out machine.

You mean his latest post?

Classy post...he's expressed reservations about Matt since the beginning, and was roasted about it. Guess Whis agrees...

 

[b8rtm8nn]

Props to Mitch - I think the part he saw the most clearly is the lack of excitement and moxie in Matt and the fact that Whiz didn't see it either.

I honestly think Mitch and Whiz see things the same (ultimately) - except Whiz sees at an NFL coaching caliber.

 

[PoolBoy]

ill give props, but its possible Mitch just hates Leinart as much as coach does

or....

is Mitch coach Whiz?>??????

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

what about me ? I was the first to speculate the players let Whiz they had no confidence in Matt.

 

[Shogun]

I will never doubt Mitch again.

 

[Cards_Campos]

Hey I roasted Leinart for 4 years and screamed and got banned numerous times pleading they start Warner! I got grilled a plethora times saying Warner was the guy...I never thought Matt was right for our team. I said from the day Denny Green wouldnt let Leinart throw a 5 yd pass against the Bears in the infamous melt down game.....If Green didn't trust him who ever would?

 

[thirty-two]

Props to Mitch. I thought you were nuts and there was no way ML was getting cut/traded/whatever. What a crazy few weeks it has been!

 

[legend]

In Mitch we trust....

 

[Gee!]

Im not sure I can trust someone that has always loved the back up QB all the time.. BSP.. McCown.. And even at one time Leinart.. Throw enuff crap at the wall and something will stick.. Im just saying..

Since this thread is all about Truth, I'm going to question the validity of this statement. The REASON we took it to the bears that evening was because of Leinart, the reason we lost the game was because of Denny.
