Leftwich

[HookemCardsOld]

Leftwich is looking fantastic again tonight. I love the Pace pick but I'm getting a bad feeling we may have passed on the next great QB. Del Rio still hasn't announced the opening day starter, and I've heard Brunell may get cut (though that seems a bit far fetched at this point, IMHO).

Oh well at this point I'll just hope that Pace becomes a Pro-Bowler very soon.

Sorry bro but get over it! So far the trade is looking like it was the right thing to do!

I was thinking the same thing. I traded for Leftwich after my first season of Madden, and he ended up leading us to 3 superbowls in four years.

...granted my HC was Shanahan, the OC was Martz, and the DC was Dungy.

No his career is over because he held out

You beat me to it. He can't start, much less have a successful career--he held out so it's curtains for Leftwich.

I said at the time that i thought the Cards made their biggest mistake by passing on Leftwich.Granted it's pre-season,but he is the real thing.THe sad thing is,it's entirely posiible we could've had Leftwich in round 1 and Pace in round 2 if we would have stuck to our original draft positions.Oh well,no sense whining about it because it can't happen now.

Brunnell was announced the opening day starter, from the azrepublic:

JAGUARS: Jacksonville signed tight end Kyle Brady to a three-year contract extension worth $9.3 million. Brady was scheduled to make $2.95 million, but agreed to a deal that will reduce his 2003 salary by more than $2 million in exchange for a $1.85 million signing bonus.


• Three Jaguars testified Thursday before a federal grand jury investigating alleged drug dealings by a city businessman.


• Mark Brunell was named starting quarterback for the regular-season opener.

Leftwich will take 3 sacks a game. Not good on many levels.

Couldn't you say the same about Bledsoe? Aikman? Marino? Warner?

It is if the alternative is forcing a ball into coverage and getting intercepted.

Most rookie QB's get sacked a lot, I seem to recall the last rookie QB WE started got sacked 50+ times in 9 starts while Graham was MUCH harder to sack. Who was that rookie again?

I think you dislike Byron as much as I allegedly dislike the other guy. the difference is my "dislike" is built on actual NFL performance.
