Leinart to play against Skins

[DieHardCardFan]

This is what Whis has to say!

More on Darnell Dockett soon, but obviously the news is out there that Dockett signed an extension through 2015. XTRA’s Mike Jurecki is reporting it is worth $47 million with $31 million guaranteed. A very nice payday indeed.

When the press release about the press conference went out to the media, it said nothing but the time. Given the circumstances, it was clear many outlets thought it was about QB Matt Leinart. “I was a little tickled when I saw the people here, because I knew the expectation,” coach Ken Whisenhunt said with a smile.

Speaking of Leinart, he isn’t about to be traded and the plan is still for Leinart to play against the Redskins. “It’s all speculation by a number of people,” Whisenhunt said about Leinart. “As far as where we are, nothing has changed.”

Translation, we couldn't get a taker, so we'll be cutting him.

 

[PortlandCardFan]

My head is going to explode!!!

 

[conraddobler]

Better hope he dosen't blow out a knee or something, then you can't cut him, it's injury settlement time.

 

[DieHardCardFan]

Ha Ha Ha !! Probably!

 

[Shane]

The way that reads a depth chart decision hasent even been made yet!

 

[40yearfan]

If the Cards had already decided to either trade him or cut him, they definitely wouldn't let him play tomorrow night. I think a lot of the speculators on here might be getting ahead of their selves.

Yup!

 

[Shane]

Yup!

We can still hope right?

Lets hope you are right.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Our differences on the "who, what, when, where and why" of all this, I'm with you on this point.

 

[Capital Card]

Didn't Matt take "credit" for getting TO to Cinci? If he is on the team as a back up this year, let's hope he lost Owens phone number.

I'm just sayin....

Go Cards!!!

 

[LVCARDFREAK]

Good. Dont think there wont be several GM's around the league watching him play. Another 'try out' if you will

 

[Dayman]

This is kind of a dangerous move by Whis. If DA stinks it up and Matt plays well, the starter decision gets even more complicated.

The decision is already made. There is no complication.

I think you are right. Show and Tell time Thursday Night.

what was it joe montana said about bill walsh, he called him a shady character or something like that

whiz is about to take that trophy i would hate to play poker with whiz thats for sure
you never know what he's thinking,his lips move and it gets even murkier he's got a great career in politics if he ever hangs up his coaching cap

 

[conraddobler]

Final cut down day one QB will be gone, we will not carry 4.

Trading Matt is stupidly impossible, everyone knows we'll cut him, that's just idiotic to even try.

His roster bonus says he will not make the cut, if he's still on the team come the final roster Whiz and our FO are completely nuts.

Agreed. Cut his rear already

 

[moklerman]

No way they can cut him before Thursday if they plan on playing Anderson. Once Anderson makes it through the game without being injured, then Matt can start packing his bags.

They certainly have time to change their mind(s) but I don't see how Leinart remains a Cardinal. Wouldn't it be something if this was one last mind-bleep to get Leinart to face "reality" and he goes out and starts performing just the way Whis wanted in the first place?

I still can't believe that it would all unravel over a so-called chemistry issue. Did the linemen that went to Hawaii with Leinart this offseason just string him along and now won't play for him? This has to be Fitz, right?

It's really disturbing to consider that the coaches have had this guy for years and it only now dawns on them that he has no chemistry with the team/offense, doesn't know the plays, can't throw the deep ball, eats babies for breakfast and his momma wears army boots.

From QBOF to pariah in less than 2 weeks flat.

Never was.

 

[Carddan]

The contract makes a trade highly doubtful, but I wonder if it was part of the "conversation" Matt had with Coach yesterday.

 

[moklerman]

Never was.

Leinart was never the QBOF? WTF?

 

[Shane]

Leinart was never the QBOF? WTF?

Nope. He was just a glimmer of hope. nothing more or less.

 

[moklerman]

Oh please, Shane. Must you really contest the simplest of statements on this subject? Can we at least agree that it was of the future or should I have said near future? Or distant future?
