If that's the case, the man in the mirror is the one you are irritated towards
I hate to say it like this, but the facts have been conveyed to you several times. You feel the need to conveniently skim through my posts and avoid the facts shown to you along with the ones that have been apparent ever since Kurt retired. I honestly believe you are jaded.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but your opinions aren't facts.
He was given multiple opportunities to seize the job in Arizona and failed.
This has been your mantra so I'll start here. Factually, it's inaccurate. Perhaps it is just poor wording on your part but the FACT of the matter is, Leinart won the job in '06. He was the starter until he was injured in '07. Regardless of whether or not Warner was getting playing time, Leinart was the starter each week until he got hurt during the Rams game. It was Leinart who finished the game vs. the Steelers, not Warner. It was Leinart who continued to start.
Leinart didn't capitalize on EVERY opportunity, but he didn't fail at all of them either.
Yeah, it's one thing to lose it to a first ballot HoFer, but the 2nd time around, when coach tells him that Derek F'Ing Anderson is going to compete for the job, his reaction should have been "bring it!" Instead, he whines to the media that he is being slighted and that it is his job.
Where are the "facts"? All of that is just you filtering 2nd hand information to accommodate your perception.
People can assume that Matty was replaced by Max Hall, but the fact of the matter is Matty destroyed his own career based on his own behavior and lack of preparation.
Again, you've ended his career based on information that you don't actually have. I know many around here embrace the idea that he didn't work hard but rumors and innuendo don't equal facts. For example, in '07 both he and Warner had come into camp in the best shape of their careers. Both had worked their butts off to get ready for the season.
Leinart is bad because Leinart is mentally weak.
Fact or hyperbole?
I also want to read a report which talks about Leinart being discussed in any trade or acquisition if he becomes a free agent. Seattle has been talked about, but that's only because Carrol is there. There are sources everywhere which leak this kind of information.
You believe the rumors about Kolb but not the rumors about Leinart. Facts? I'd settle for consistency.
But the answer is no. It doesnt say anything about his real value. His real value is what the outcome of the transaction is.
Now, imagine if you applied that same logic to Leinart, like you do with Kolb.
Yes it was considering up until the 3rd preseason game, they looked to be neck and neck.
Again, perception vs. reality. Not a fact.
to the fact that Leinart simply is a bad quarterback?
You really seem to think that if you say something it becomes a fact. But, I didn't even ignore this supposed fact, I addressed it and disagreed with it.
Your agenda is to rip Whiz apart. You've demonstrated that in your contrived example of Beanie.
Another "fact" formed from the ether of your misinformed perception. Just because you miss the point and then form an opinion based on that presumption, doesn't mean you now have a fact.
But to continue to believe that there is this conspiracy going on that Whiz cut Leinart for personal reasons is simply baseless.
No, it isn't baseless. I presented various reasons and statistics that show it to be a valid possibility.
Because there is too much evidence based on his attitude over the preseason that he wasn't tough enough to handle pressure,
NOT factual. NO evidence offered by you. His play on the field completely contradicts what you're arguing. His actual performance being the only tangible evidence we have to work with. Interpretation of quotes and rumors are not facts and those are what your opinion is based on.
He should have taken the high road, like McNabb is doing in Washington with the John Beck quotes. Instead, he comes off as infantile.
This isn't a fact either. That you're using McNabb as an example of how a QB should handle his affairs is a bit humorous considering the quagmire that he's always in. But you are still assuming a great deal with your statement. When Leinart complained to the media, how do you even know what his agenda was at that point? I can certainly imagine that he had had all he wanted at that point and was motivated to get out of Arizona. Perhaps his comments were calculated? Ever consider that?
Whiz gave him countless opportunities
I can count pretty high. Right into the teens if I take off my socks. Are you sure "countless" is factual, or just more exaggeration and hyperbole? Should I acknowledge it or just ignore it?
and was with him for four years.
'07, '08, '09...wait a minute, let me take off my socks. Hmmm. Leinart wasn't with the Cardinals any of the '10 regular season. NFL.com has him on the Texans roster in '10. So, was he with Whis for 4 years? Does the offseason count as a year? See how what you assume can't be taken by everyone else as a "fact"?
Whiz may not be infallible, but he is certainly not dumb. People need to put their torches and pitchforks down and remember that Whiz is the only coach in AZ Cardinals history to have two division championships and a conference championship to go with.
This tangent had absolutely nothing to do with anything but even this, I didn't ignore. I asked you who had claimed Whis was dumb. You didn't answer. I'm not even sure why you brought it up in the first place.
I hate to say it like this, but the facts have been conveyed to you several times.
And, we'll circle back to this idea that is, like most of what you've written, completely devoid of fact. Which I didn't ignore.
