Bill Barnwell: Is Matt Leinart Better Than You Think?
Highly recommended, if for no other reason than to refresh your recollection about what happened to Leinart in Arizona.

Really good read.
It’s nice to remember that he was viewed as a pretty solid bet coming out of college.
I'm taking a wait & see approach
But I’m already sold on us being in a better situation than if Dan O was still the next in line.

It soothes the heart
I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.

Well, if Leinart still sucks, at least we'll be more optimistic about Indy and Andrew Luck.
Their college careers seem similar to me.
Good point
It goes to show that there are no sure things when it comes to transitioning from college to the pros.

Also
A player’s success has as much, if not more, to do with what organization he goes to as his individual talent. A blue chipper isn’t guaranteed to succeed if he lands in the middle of a shitty situation.

My optimism
is based on the fact we are a run first pass second, team now… and the past 4 weeks have proved to me we can run on anyone if our line holds up

True, we don't need Leinart to be great, we need him to be decent.
It’s even insane for me to suggest this but Dre and Foster/Tate have to take their game to a whole new level (if that is even physically possible for Dre). Dre is hungry for a playoff run and I hope that by them stepping up their game, it can help possibly mask any of leinart’s problems.
I don't think anyone has to take their game to a whole new level
Except maybe Eric Winston. The rest just need to keep doing what they’re doing.

Is it really that hard for these writers to get a more current picture of Leinart with #11??

That was absolutely fair and right on!
This is exactly how I have been seeing it all along, even before this injury to Matt Schaub. I thought the Matt Leinart pickup was right when the Texans made it. I thought letting Orlovsky go in favor of Leinart was the right move. The whole situation is making sense to me. I have a lot of confidence that Matt Leinart will succeed as the Texans’ QB for the remainder of the season. Right now, I’m just hoping that Leinart stays healthy and Yates doesn’t have to be that guy.
Also, I mentioned this yesterday, the Texans do need to have another option at QB if indeed Schaub is out for the season. I think they have to take a look at Garrard.

I think Leinart has matured..
The Guy has always had all the tools just lacked the maturity and coaching. There is a reason he chose to stay here instead of taking a starting job with his college coach. I really think we will all be pleasontly surprised
by TexansForLife on Nov 15, 2011 11:37 AM CST via mobile reply actions
this is my thought process as well
It’s also slightly comforting to hear Leinart likes and is comfortable in this offense. BELIEVE

Not to be a Debby Downer
But wasn’t one of the reasons he stayed was to avoid a goofy QB competition in Seattle?
by brightshinies on Nov 15, 2011 12:03 PM CST up reply actions
Why would he want to avoid a QB competition
by staying where he has already lost one? “Compete for a starting job?” says Leinart, “Why, when I can stay where I am and not even have a chance?”
My understanding of the situation was Seattle signed Tarvaris Jackson
And Leinart was all like “Oh f#@$ this”. Instead he stayed to develop another year under Kubiak. I guess I meant to ask if that was part of the reason, implying I don’t (and maybe we don’t) know the details of what happened in Seattle. But if you do, please enlighten, as my knowledge of that transaction is a bit hazy.
by brightshinies on Nov 15, 2011 12:45 PM CST up reply actions
I think his mindset is that the situation will be much more stable here and he has already been learning the offense.
Rather than learn a new offense to compete against a guy who had been under the current OC there before, here he knows he’s not the starter but will be if anything should happen to Schaub.
Over there even if he had won the job over Jackson, he has no room to make mistakes, if he has a 2 or 3 INT game, he’ll get benched for Jackson and if Jackson doesn’t play well it’ll go back and forth. He already dealt with that in Arizona I don’t think he wants to go through it again.
by jkcheng122 on Nov 15, 2011 12:52 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
exactly.
I’m thinking he made a better decision for his career. He figured the Seahawks were going nowhere, the bootleg offense and strong Oline is better fitted to his skill set. Plus, Knapp and Kubiak are very capable QB gurus.
Better fitted than the offense his former college coach runs, that won him 2 national championships in college?
I dunno, that seems like a stretch. The rest I buy..
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
I think he preferred the system in Houston that fit his style, and Kubiak had a lot of confidence in him.
Another year to develop and let the league shake out the QBs to open up an opportunity made more sense than going with uncertainties like he faced in AZ. Now he has a chance to take the helm of a team in position to do great things.
If he can’t perform under these circumstances, he’s finished and can go sell hot tubs.
If he does well, he’ll get a starting job elsewhere and we’ll get a high pick trade.
If he lights it up and we win championships, he may be negotiating the job here.
"There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"
Again
I don’t see how our system is a better fit to his style than the offense his former college coach runs. A system in which he had the highest success. My guess is it had to do more with the organization and personnel than anything.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!

I just don't understand what his attorney was thinking.
How the hell do you take 16 seconds to answer the question “Are you sexually attracted to young boys?”
If the first 15 seconds you're chocking on your own saliva at the sheer insanity of the question.
Something tells me Sandusky was not doing that.
Not to start something, but I can understand if you are attracted to little boys. I mean that to me is a cross to bear, not a decision, but...
I’m attracted to grown women and I still choose not to rape them.
Yeah, probably not the best.
His sexuality doesn’t make him a criminal, but his sodomy of a non-consenting partner does.

Well a reporter must ask everything, even the things we don't want to hear.
Lucky for us, it didn’t go that far. But still, he took a 16 second pause to answer the question “Are you sexually attracted to young boys?”
His silence during that 16 seconds was his answer….
Ken Wisenhunt hasn't found a QB after Warner retired...nuff said about his QB evaluation ability
“Whisenhunt preferred Anderson, and cut the former first-round pick [Leinart]. Anderson was arguably the worst opening day starter in football, and the team bounced between him and rookies Max Hall and John Navarre throughout the season. Each rated among the worst quarterbacks in football. The following year, Whisenhunt traded for Kevin Kolb. Kolb was, not coincidentally, one of the worst quarterbacks in football this season before suffering an injury. Whisenhunt is the primary reason why Matt Leinart is considered a bust, and over the course of his career as Cardinals coach, Whisenhunt has shown virtually no ability to pick the right starting quarterback for his team.”
"The bust label implies Leinart was fairly evaluated by a competent coaching staff. That doesn’t appear to be the case. "

Not only do we have a top running game and defense but this is his chance to prove he can be a starter. We got Dre coming back and have tons of other weapons to help Leinart out. I’m pretty sure Leinart knows this is his chance to succeed and could be his last if he doesn’t. That alone gives me some confidence in him.

Let's temper those expectations slightly
He will need a little while to knock off the rust.

for several weeks now. Dreesen and Cushing both said so and I think even Kubes alluded to it in a presser.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
All I know
is why the bye is certainly great for the team, it sucks for us having to wait to see how Leinart will do. Two weeks of waiting and deliberating and worrying
IMO, the bye could not possibly come at a better time
I’m antsy too, but I’d rather Matt L have more time to prepare, and make sure AJ is 100%
i agree completely with JBal
If Schaub had to get hurt, now is the time. This is the best opportunity for Koobs to gameplan and set everything for Matty Light.
Of course, and we all agree
But the wait is going to kill us all. That’s all.

Deep Ball
How well does Leinart throw the deep ball? It seems most the time Matt 1 throws a deep pass the WR is usually slowing down or practically stopping to catch it. Is it due to most the passes coming on a roll out or does Matt 1 just not have a great deep ball?
Leinart doesn't have the strongest arm but I think he has a better arm than Shaub and he's pretty accurate..
Not to take anything away from Shaub as his footwork and ability to sell the fake is considered the best. Whether Leinart can sell the fake will be the biggest question and is so key when you do play action.
I recall many hookups to Mike Williams at USC.
They may have been medium passes that Williams turned into long TDs, but there were many.
Alcohol is necessary so that a man can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed by the facts.
I'd say he's probably about the same as Schaub
Maybe a tad bit more distance

I doubt it. I think it will mess with chemistry if Duane Brown and Eric Winston now have someone on their opposite sides.
No.
Every play has an opposite play. It’s one of Newton’s Laws. Although Winston now has the blind-side which concerns me a little.
Pro Bowl spots are often awarded to players a few seasons later than appropriate.
Even more common, when you consider offensive linemen. It’s a useless honor, rather than a true measuring stick.
no, just the plays.
Michael: The feeling that you're feeling is what many of us call...a feeling.
Gob: It's not like envy, or even hungry...
No chance at all IMO.
1. We aren’t a pocket passing team.
2. Our consistency in the run game is more important than protecting Leinart.
Possible "BACKUP" QB's to be evaluated if Schaub is IR'd
Charlie Frye – Played in 26 games (Cleveland, Seattle and Oakland) 62% pass completion, 4,100 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Patrick Ramsey – Played in 37 games in the NFL (Washington, NY Jets and Denver). 56% pass completion 5,900 yards and 35 touchdowns.

Jake Delhomme – Played in 102 NFL games (New Orleans, Carolina and Cleveland). 59.3% pass completion, 20,764 yards and 125 touchdowns.

true about ints, but he has played in a Superbowl at least
I don’t even want to think about us scraping QB barrels out there, but they probably do need to add someone to work the practice squad unit.
No, Schaub is not on IR yet. This was "IF" he goes to IR
and Kubiak already said Yates is now working with the 2’s and Leinart is starting. So “IF” Schaub goes to IR, we’ll have a QB slot open to manage the PS.
My no was to "Is Shaub on IR?"
If he is IR’ed, I say go with Yates as back-up, bring up Holiday as returner and sign a young guy to run the practice squad.
what about John David Booty?
I still want to get a feel for him

Gary mentioned that all of the adversity has kept everyone more focused each week.
No time to think, because it’s “What are we going to do to cover for [insert injured starter here]’s injury next week?” every week.
We questioned hiring Wade Phillips?
The only concern I had was if Kubiak stinks it up and gets fired, Wade’d be our coach.
Yeah no one questioned the hiring of Wade, he's known for defensive turnarounds.
It was more of “Why is kubiak still our HC?”
you left out cutting Hartmann, resigning Hartmann, cutting Bulman, resigning Bulman, cutting Holliday, resigning Holliday, cutting.........
