Matt's got a chip on his shoulder hearing the pud-dits saying he's a bust 1st round pick, et al, so he's got alot to prove to more than just himself and the Cards.. I hope he comes in here in 2011 and tears it up, figuratively!
but Leinart is not better than Warner, so the only argument left was to save money.
the earlier you put leinart out there the better.
Nobody but nobody here slammed Leinart sooner or harder than me. I was proven mostly right. So what?
What matters is what Matt has done to turn himself from spoiled Diva into a pro. I like what I've read about him the last 18 months. I like his weight room work and strength and bulk gains. His pouting has disappeared. If his statements in the media are sincere, Matt has matured in time to save his career.
We need him. I'm pulling for him.
Next year, Leinart gets like a 15M roster bonus, which does count towards the cap. They'd better have a plan for that, because if they don't.....
Cant we re structure him, would that help?
MD, will the FO pay it or will they try and lowball him..?
Some one nailed it finally

They'll have to pay. The Cards will be fortunate to get one more year out of Warner, two is imo a real longshot. So its either pay Leinart (or even more for a top rookie QB) or go back to the days of Jeff Blake and Josh McCown after this season.

Really? You really believe that? From what I hear Matt has spending his free time back in SoCal.. Kinda throws this theory out the window..
on your car insurance?i woulda picked him over warner and saved a bunch of money
Thats nice to hear.I heard him interviewed by Jurecki and Bickley today. Jurecki gushed about how hard he's been working and how the coaches are talking about him. They say he's much stronger, and that includes more zip on his passes.
I guess everybody is entitled to an opinion... even opinions that have absolutely no basis in merit.i woulda picked him over warner and saved a bunch of money
Thats nice to hear.
But I still think the part of his game that needs the most work is reading and reacting to defenses and knowing where all his receivers are at all times. If you don't know where to throw then it doesn't matter how strong you are, you are just lost.
duck answered well
The reason would be that the division had already been locked up and we're resting Warner for the playoffs.As crazy as this sounds the best case scenario is for Kurt to miss 2-3 games for whatever reason and Matt comes in and plays well.
Otherwise thats going to be alot of Jack thrown at a guy that your loving in practice and the preseason and haven't seen play in live game action in almost 3 years.
We will see. Things like this tend to work themselves out.
I believe. Always have.
