Didn't see this posted anywhere. From PFT:

If that's the case, the anti-Leinart crowd apparently is getting the word out, given that Clark Judge of CBSSports.com has reported that the Seahawks aren't interested.

We're assuming that if anyone in the organization is interested, it's Carroll. If accurate, this would mean that G.M. John Schneider is opposed.

Meanwhile, and as Peter King reported on Saturday during our Notre Dame halftime segment, the Texans are interested. (We've confirmed that this is indeed the case.)

We're hearing that the Raiders remain a possibility, based on the unpredictability that owner Al Davis brings to every personnel decision.

Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports also throws the Vikings and Jaguars into the mix. King heard yesterday that the Titans could be a candidate, too, which would put Leinart and arch-nemesis Vince Young on the same team.

UPDATE: If the Vikings, Titans, Jaguars, or Bengals have interest in Leinart, we're told that none of those teams as of last night made their interest known.

What do you guys think? Maybe Kubiak can work his QB magic and turn him into the next Rosenfels or Plummer. Or maybe he continues to falter under Kubiak, like Carr and Orlovsky.

EDIT: Update on Pg.6

JB was Matt's replacement @ USC now possibly the tables have turned & Matt is JB's replacement? both cerebral QB's who fit Texans scheme, not sure however if Kubes gives up his man crush on Dan'O?
 
can winston be a blind side pass protector?


Leinhart is a Dan O, but is left handed and throws better hot tub parties

:cow:

Carr was already too far gone when Kubiak got to Houston and Leinart doesn't have the will to want to work, much like Carr did not want to work. That was on of the big reasons he failed in Arizona. If he couldn't learn from a hall of famer in Kurt Warner, who is the poster child of determination and hard work, then he has no future. Leinart is a lost cause....
 
I don't know that he's any better than Orlovsky at this point. Unless they are just giving up on Dan O I'd say absolutely NOT to Leinart. We've got a roster full of try-hard guys, we don't need another Travis Johnson attitude around here ever again.

From the land of opposing QBs, Kurt Warner was always a favorite of mine. While I might have more respect for a Payten Manning or a Tom Brady, I don't like them at all. Warner I both like and respect and would always root for him.
 
I am hoping Pete Carroll snaps him up .. however after the Lenwhale incident, and with matt being lazy(assumption there because of what I have heard) , Pete might not want him
 
Actually Schaub always kinda reminded me of Leinert. Both are tall and big,
not very mobile, and neither with a real strong arm. But the similarities are only physical, that's for sure. Between the ears, 2 totally different guys.
The backup QB is just that, he backs up the starter and comes in if the starter is out and we know Schaub has some history of absenteeism, so would Leinert be an improvement over DanO ?
 
There is a possibility that the Vikings pick him up and cut Rosencopter. Then they cut Sage for us to pick up.
 
Doesn't anyone remember all the musical chairs that the Cardinals had to play in order to accomodate his lefty status?? It was a mess.......and still didn't help. Cardinals Brandon Keith Moved To LT to RT and Levi Brown went from RT to LT were only some examples. The transitions turned into a friggin' mess. Can you see what would happen if in mid season, protection needs were changed and [1]our tackles were kept in their present positions OR [2]forced to trade places? I don't even want to think of it. That's not even to mention other things that people don't tend to think about........plays going preferentially to opposite sides (runs/passes)........and the increased difficulty for receivers to hang on to passes (just ask any receiver about that dreaded reverse spin on the ball, when you're used to the ball coming in with an "normal" opposite spin.:eek:
 
I would hope that the Titans take him and release Kerry Collins...I would rather have Collins as a backup to Schaub than Leinhart or Dan O. I don't want a Lefthanded backup QB because it might throw our WRs out of sync with the opposite ball rotation. Leinhart is a pretty boy so he should go into modeling or soap operas. That opposite spin might be the reason Vick caught hell...well other than the dog thing that we won't talk about.

Come on now Cloak!! Ya got something against LEFTIES???!:foottap: J/K!!
I liked Leinhart when he came out of USC, and thought the Cards the luckiest team in the NFL. They had the TWO best lookin QBs in the league! :heart:

All kidding aside, I don't like the move. Kubes has made enough mistakes this off season. PLEASE don't let this be another one!!
 
Want.

I think Leinarts got a lot of potential. He's got attitude issues, and I think those are rectified by coming onto a team where he knows he won't be the starter.
His problem in AZ wasn't his talent (this year), it was the fact that he couldn't handle the competition and his skills dropped as soon as he believed he wasn't going to be the #1 guy.
If he knows hes the backup, I think he's got the skills to help us.

Remember, our backup QB right now is Dan O. I'd take just about anyone
 
First off IMO the Texans are saying they are interested in order to appease the fans, I do not think they sign Leinert.

2nd Leinert has not been in a WCO the last few years and he would have a large learning curve to catch up. I would stay with JDB.

JDB makes very good reads, but his accuracy was downright horrible. He would make a very good thrown (that TD pass was crazy), but then he'd have a bunch of passes going everywhere (Our receivers made crazy catches),

Maybe that can be coached, maybe it's just because since he was the 3rd stringer he barely even got work and the time needed to improve his accuracy. IDK..

If he could develop accuracy, he could be a pretty decent option.. (Right now I'd go ahead and drop Orlovsky), but I'd still bring in another QB.

Remember, though, JDB hadn't been practicing because he had a problem with his shoulder. He went in there with a sore shoulder. So that may have interfered with his accuracy.

I was thinking the same thing. I love how the season hasn't started and people are saying Kube has made roster mistakes. Can we see these guys play some games that matter before we start throwing stones at the coach???
 
Perhaps an attitude adjustment will come with a change in scenery for Leinert. I'd take him over Danny-O. At least give him a workout.
 
And put him in instead of Dan O, He has no idea how or what we play and he expects his recievers to find the ****ing ball. not interested
 
I don't know why we'd pursue someone like Leinart. He hasn't shown the ability to be successful in the NFL as a qb. With Dan Orlovsky at no.2, I'd rather see us sign someone like JP Losman, who actually has a track record of starting in the NFL.
 
JP Losman is horrible.... He's a poor man's Rex Grossman. (LOL, look at their names... "Los...man" and "Gross....man".)

He hasn't played meaningful NFL football in years, he's even more injury prone than Matt Schaub, and he just got cut from the Seahawks who are also looking for QB depth.
 
I was just surfing aroung and I found this article posted a month ago about Colt Brennan....

Colt Brennan was surprised when he was cut after practice today
WP = Washington Post


About his surprise when he was cut by the Redskins today, Colt Brennan said:
"I was totally surprised. I actually was walking off the field today and someone asked, 'How'd you do today?' I said I had a good day. It was a good practice, so I said I'd have a good rest of the day. It was definitely a surprise." (WP)


About the Washington cutting him and trading for John Beck today, Colt said:
"It had nothing to do with my play. To be honest with you, it was never a situation with me playing and how I did. It was basically that they always had a real strong interest in John Beck. [Offensive coordinator] Kyle [Shanahan] said he had looked into getting John early on and they couldn't get him. He was excited about my film and interested in working with me. But when this deal came down, they jumped on it. They told me they wanted to give me an opportunity to grow." (WP)


Praising Washington for giving him a chance early on in camp, Colt said:
"They wanted me to have a chance early on in camp. They didn't want to put me in a bad position. Kyle told me I'm a kid who needs reps. Kyle's an awesome guy, and that's the only thing that's really kind of a bummer, because I love this coaching staff. They've been really cool to me and I was building a great relationship with them. But this is a business. They said they would do anything they could to help me. They told me they think I can play, so they just wanted to give me an opportunity to catch on somewhere." (WP)

Hmm, I wonder if Kubes will get on the phone and ask Kyle and Mike about Colt.
