Nashville sports radio is just waiting to see Mettenberger at this point
Leinartberger ?
Nashville sports radio is just waiting to see Mettenberger at this point
Well, I've been to Nashville and it's nothing to brag about either. It is warmer, but at least Detroit and Cleveland are sports towns.His wife would have never agreed to move to Detroit or Cleveland - which were both options. Just saying. Alice chose Tennessee as much as Ken did, IMHO.
I wanted him over Logan, I doubt he's awesome yet but I bet he is better than white HurstOh man does this sound so familiar
"@caplannfl: One of the biggest reasons why Mettenberger is getting the green light: Understanding of the offense."
Get this Twitter conversation with Leinart...
Clay Travis- Locker era over. Titans plan to start QB Zach Mettenberger against the Texans sources say
Matt Leinart- Locker era over. Will be for someone else in a year or two as well. Same story
Clay Travis- Who would you draft this coming year? Titans are a total mess
Matt Leinart- a new coach
get the popcorn is all I can say lol

I saw that.
Even with Whiz's dubious handling of quarterbacks, Leinart has no business holding a grudge against him. Matty lost his job because he couldn't maturely handle competition and demonstrated no leadership skills at the NFL level. He even had a couple of chances to latch on permanently with other team to redeem himself, but failed.
While all that is true, Whiz bungled the Leinart situation and made him virtually worthless by talking poorly about him in the media. We got nothing for him and he was playing decently that preseason. He also wasted a year of Leinart's career by doing so. Leinart clearly wasn't the answer but I'd argue we would have won more games with him than Scud or Hall or Lindley.
Whiz's mishandling of Leinart is the first sign of major weakness for Whiz as far as I'm concerned. I said it at the time.
For Whiz to have so much coach speak with the media every single time before and after... Except when it came to Leinart, when he got personal, tells me he had a personal problem with the dude. And when you're talking about our first round pick that just can't happen.
It's disrespectful to everyone above you to badmouth the guy publicly, devalue him to zero, and not even try to get anything for him.
And just look at the awful QB's he's hung his hat on since then in AZ and now Tennessee over rolling with Leinart. Lol. It's downright laughable.
The Cardinals have the veteran QB that coach Ken Whisenhunt wanted. But now he's giving Matt Leinart an edge for the team's starting job this season.
"Matt has earned the right to be 'The Guy,' " Whisenhunt said Wednesday as Derek Anderson was introduced as the newest member of the Cardinals. "That's how we will proceed."
Leinart was blunt in his assessment: “I have outplayed the competition (in) training camp and preseason. I think my play speaks about that. For me I just have to move forward every day. I can’t worry about what I can’t control.”
Whis is just another decent/good coordinator... in a long line of Cardinal trainwrecks that should have never been Head coaches.
Everyone wants to crown Whis because we went to the SB, but sometimes a very special player, can put a shine on a turd..
Yet, this argument/narrative dies as soon as you realize that the "special player" also assisted in two consecutive 5-11 seasons prior to Whiz's arrival, which really was the only variable to change after those two seasons.
Ummm...no
His worst years as a Ram was on a team that was slowly being depleted of talent.... and/or fighting injuries and ultimately finding out he had been playing with a previously undiagnosed broken hand, which made his grip on the football less than ideal.
Manning went 1-6 for the Giants on that wonder squad when he took over for Kurt.
He was a Super Bowl MVP for Christ's sake.. You want to give credit to Whis for his resurgence? Go ahead.
I'll go with "his throwing hand being properly healed finally".
That, and having Fitz and Q.
Seeing a thread about the Whiz is like reliving a trip to the dentist for a root canal.
Um? Those who can't, teach?Why would anyone wants Leinart's opinion on quarterback play in the NFL?
