Somehow = Wade replaced Mario with Demarcus Ware lite, someone that legitimately fits in at 3-4 OLB, and we replaced Andre with using Ben Tate more. That's a lot different than replacing a decent QB with a **** QB.

Leinart will be fine.

I think he will play very well for us.

We keep rolling!

No Mario, no AJ, no MS, NO problem.

The possible silver lining here is the opposition does not have much film on Leinart. Kubiak will do everything he can to get him comfortable.

If Leinart has matured at all and is willing to put in the work (as in his butt better be at Reliant as I type this), he might work out fine. Heck, he may surprise a few folks.

I come home after a CRAPPY day at work and read all this garbage!! I'm depressed and my brain just can't take anymore bad news, so think I'll just go get drunk!

[Tailgate]

Dilfer makes an interesting point. He is a lefty, could make for a rough transition on the little things alone. Bye week just got ALOT busier.

[kiwitexansfan]

I think he game manages us well enough to get us the division win and looks competitive in the playoffs.

I think the ceiling has come down on the season some if Schaub is not QBing in the playoffs.

Schaub has not been that prolific this year, I can't see why Leinart can't handoff, hit some wideopen guys off playaction and pitch and catch with AJ and AF.


Best of all we get the news with the bye in front of us and the Jags to beat on the first week up.

Keeping the faith, keeping my spirits up.


and MOAR Hottubs.

[silentassassin]

I don't have any specific reason.

I just believe, against all odds.

Yeah but Steve Young pretty much laughed at that idea. I'll go with Young on this, besides if it was that big of a deal then we'd never bring in a left-handed QB to back-up Matt 1.

If this was a short week then I think it would be a problem, but everyone has two weeks to get used to their new left handed QB.

The Houston Texans have survived some big injuries this season: defensive end Mario Williams (done), receiver Andre Johnson (due back soon), safety Danieal Manning (due back in a few weeks).

Next we’ll find out if they can win without quarterback Matt Schaub.

I think we will be fine remember that game

Cards vs Tenn Leinart vs VY man he played decent that game IMO

[paycheck71]

Here's my Leinart prediction.

He steps in for Schaub and takes the Texans to the playoffs. From there it gets a little more hazy, but he does well enough for the Redskins to trade a #1 pick for him (provided the Shanahans don't get fired).

[quote=thunderkyss;1828107]We kept him for a reason. I have faith in Kubiak's choice of QB, I have faith in Lienart.....

If the Patriots could do it with Matt Cassel, then we can do it with Matt Leinart

Considering Hot Tub Boy's surrounding cast on offense, and our defense, I'll buy that.

The Dilfer that "led" the Ravens to the Super Bowl with his stellar play. Hand off, don't turn the ball over and let the defense win games. Yea, his opinion is valuable.

Remember Detroit vs Denver? They didn't care about Tebow throwing the ball. That's the way the Jags are going to approach this. They're going to send 7 & 8 until Lienart beats them.

so What... let them come...
Go ahead... Rush 7 or 8 and leave a well-rested and repaired A.J. in single coverage if you dare.

That's what hot read slants and WR screens are for

If I'm Dennison with two weeks to get a game plan ready, I'll play them just like we did Cleveland and Tampa who also figured they could stack the box and stop us. Early on we passed them silly.
Let
Them
COME!

you people can lament all you want.
These "kids" haven't crumbled yet.
They won't crumble now.

Matty 2 will be OK, and that is all we need him to be. He can't ask for a better situation to come into. He knows the offense, has plenty of time to study the opposing defense, has numerous weapons and a great Oline.

I'm sure the Jags will stuff plenty of guys in the box at first, but once we burn them on a slant pass to AJ, or a screen pass to Foster then they will become a lot more honest.

I'm sure he will make some mistakes, but this running game and D should allow him some breathing room in that case anyway.

I bet the first play from scrimmage will be a play action to a wide open Andre Johnson. Show them why you shouldn't stack 8 or 9 in the box against this team.

The backup QB has one job. Hiding the gaping hole left by the starting QB going down.



If you found your backup QB in some other teams scrap pile then you might be paying for this injury with your job....
