Thanks for the assist Mulli.

I don't think ML was ever a gym rat. Maybe calling him lazy was a bit of an overstatement but when you are competing against Warner then it's impossible to put in enough work.

I used to think that as well. But after doing some research it became evident that Leinart never put in the effort necessary to succeed in the NFL and that is why he was let go.

I'm not sure that we disagree on this. Are you saying ML is flat out lazy or just could/should have put in more effort?

My stance is that he was lazy his first year and acted like an entitled brat.

After that he put in more effort but it simply wasn't enough.

I don't buy that entirely.

I think it started out that way but I also think Whiz is so hard headed that nothing Matt could of done after the initial impression was formed would of made any difference.

Matt probably realized this somewhere along the way and that leads to just giving up.

I'll be interested to see how he does, very interested.

He will likely light it up and find another ex-Card become a star for another team...I hope he does actually...never wrote him off in the first place

Look at his running backs and receivers. He is in a perfect spot to succeed.

Just like Kurt Warner. Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Marshall Faulk HOF. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Edgerrin James/Beanie Wells HOF. Rest of the time not so hot.

:p

But I'm thinking Kurt made everyone around him better. Can Matt do that?

Got one

Matt leinart is a damn good QB , just saying. So Da won the job? with a terrible performance? bench Leinart-don't cut him- with 2.5 mill owed for 2010!!!!! That was stupid, arrogant, wrong on several levels.

my dissabilities and weaknessess showed up just like the Cardinals against the Niners. (POW) but I executed the plan. no trophy but i got a nice young cow elk with the best meat.

I got one last Saturday morning just after day break. I chased a trophy bull up a Malipi cliff opening day ( Friday) up by Happy Jack. too many hunters the only other elk I seen were crossing the Lake mary Road out of the hunt area.

I came out of Camp Verde on 260 toward the beeline (87)A Large butt in the road looked like it was on roller skates! ( Looked like levi Brown in the Elk world) 50-60 others around this lead bull. there were 2 more 20-30 animal herds in the next 3 miles.

well heres my face book story

It was dark at 6 asleep by 6:10, woke upphyiscal agony at 11 pm, back, neck, right arm some new hurts everywhere. screw that big bull I better take what the mountain gives me in the morning, can't sleep, can't hunt for 7 hours of pain. I drive up to the rim from Camp Verde 5am. see a huge bull almost hit him. he looks like he;s on roller skates so I gun ther gas just to freak him out worse, dozens of elk next 3 miles I pull off the road, old school ACDC CD until daylight


I drop below the motorize restricted travel area, where I can drive like I make love, wreckless! find my way over hill and dale, every rocky spot shook my sore tattered body into a new level of misery. lucky I'm a tough Son of bitch. 3 cow elk not to far left side, they all look the same in the scope, I take aim on the last one and BLAM! they move 3 feet turn at me and laugh out loud,I think well you *******! I take aim again think" smooth deliberate moves" and blam- knocks the last elk through the air right next to a tree to load her on. my spirit changes as it does after every kill, I am not a spectator I am a participant in my role in nature....

I love my mountain, she loves me we owe each other nothing, we don't keep score. I hoisted skinned and dressed the elk, hoisted it high in the air, tied it off with a 2nd rope. drove under it and dropped it on top of the exterra. tied her off, blood was dripping down the windshield, had to cover her head with trash bag and a canvas cover. many stopped, pointed and stared they never seen an elk on top of a tall SUV before- well they have now. A little kid said" nice elk, did you kill it" I said no she was hitch hiking- and that was the only place she would fit! you little ****. Kids are amazing creatures.

My mountains bounty, It is a spirtual experience -looking dinner in the eyes as her life fades. city folk think it is disgusting they can't tolerate their own role in nature, the mountain could care less, about such crap. She'll let you wither away and die in miserable starvation, if your to stupid to take what she offers with reverance and gratitude, My mountain is ruthless but fair, he has little time for eggs from the super market, they are no different than the plastic bag or the soda can to her, they are planned chicken abortions, they will not give life nor join the cycle of life for more than a week max in an animals blood stream, and humans hide their waste from the hunger of the trees anyway, spoiled bastards.


drove her to Pinetop, had to help butcher the elk hanging in the shed, to make room for my elk, my arm quit working, I tried for a few minutes my right arm died and I could not help, It sucks to be worthless at that moment ,unable to finish that job, watch others skin, quarter and hang my kill, cause my body won't function, I used it all up until healing. The friends elk is butchered, mine is hanging, I'm slowley getting my health back, eating elk and drinking coffee. all is right with the world- all is right with me. It is a fine day to be alive






I wanna know something really important. Smel, how did the elk hunt go?

Matty Checkdown gets hurt, 5th round rookie TJ Yates comes in and nearly matches his yardage total on 3 completions.

He may have more yardage, but he's led that team to a whopping 3 points so far.
