Don’t get me wrong, I am ecstatic that he is back, but I pray that he is not rushing it simply because an xray is looking pretty good. In his defense, though, there are people noted as ridiculously fast healers. I hope he is one of them.

He's been practicing all week...

So I don’t think it’s just because of his xray.

Well, the injury was diagnosed to keep him out only 4 weeks at the minimum

gotta like the circumstances

he’s not replacing a QB due to poor play where teammates could object.

The team is rallying. I hope he can play up to the rest of the offense. Cuz they’re pretty good.

by texanphil on Nov 25, 2011 11:44 PM CST up reply actions

I share your thoughts

Leinart just needs to do what he has been practicing and preparing for. I know they do a lot of video review and analyze every play and every step of every play. By game time, he would have replayed nearly every situation countless times. Sunday should feel like old times, they rerun it so many times. He is prepped. No take it to gameday.

This. However, given how long it's been since he last saw live bullets, I bet he is overly amped.

I don’t think Manning shifts Leinart from the “I really hope he doesn’t fuck this up” side of the paper to the “this shit is in the bag” side of the paper.

I know ‘the team’ is saying Leinart will do well and he is looking great in practice, but honestly, what would you expect them to say? Could you imagine the blogosphere if AJ came in after practice one day and said “That guy sucks. He barely knows the plays. He is drunk half the time. His ball spins backwards and I can’t catch that shit”. Obviously, I am exaggerating for effect, but I’m cautiously optimistic.
