I think Wiz is a players coach who challenges his players to be the best they can be. His winning record & where this team has come from earns him respect fans, players & media. Sure we as fans don't know what kind of relationship the 2 have but to think Wiz has been fair in his approach to Leinart in the preseason is ridiculous. I know winning is the bottom line, but at some point a HC has to step back & look at every situation on his team & look at the present & the future, which it appears he has done except for Matt Leinart. Is he the QB of the future? Doesn't appear that way to the HC, but to have a top ten pick that has shown glimpses of good play not be given a chance is just plain ignorant. Maybe he doesn't fit the system, maybe he can't play at all but we as fans & the coaches will never know until he is given games to test his abilities, not a game here, a series here, 2 starts there but games. How many other early 1st rd QB's recently have been given just 17 starts to evauluate their NFL career? If I'm Wiz I ride the entire season out with #7 to fully evaluate him given what is ahead in 2011. I trust the HC but it sure is fishy that he didn't get along with another highly picked QB in Pittsburgh & that turned out pretty good on the field. But sometimes...a change of scenry does a player good because it's quite obvious Leinart won't get that shot in AZ.

If he is such a players coach then tell me why we lost "Boldin, Rolle, Dansby. Great Players Coaches do not loose those type of players in just one season.

your preseason third game starter is your favorite pony to start the season with, we can all admit that can't we?

Usually, but Leinart started the 3rd game in 2008 and I'll never believe that Warner wasn't the favorite to start that season after the performance Kurt had the last half of 2007.

don't think I would necessarily blame those losses on the HC
