Texans agree to terms with Matt Leinart

Too many negatives and not much upside with Leinhart .... We've seen his body of work on an NFL field , he just doesnt have the want to.
 
Guys, do you all not realize how much non-football negatve publicity and distraction Leinart has always carried with him? The Texans have had their problems, but one of them has not been having to deal with trying to ignore an 800 pound gorilla in the room.............while still trying to develop team chemistry and advancement.

Do the Texans need this type of distraction? What they need is a backup QB. Leinart is a distraction that's not ready to be a backup QB for the Texans.
 
BREAKING NEWS: Adam Schefter reports Leinert signs a one year deal with us!!! Heard it on Mike and Mike in the morning show.

(in case no one has reported it)

I heard that too. I'll believe it when I see it on HT.com

Scheffler was live on Mike & Mike when he said it.



And your sig is totally unfair. It could have been the other way around, that Gerhardt was the one who got hurt. Would you still keep running stats then?
 
Meh, I won't get all worked up about a 3rd stringer. I think it was a decent move. Perhaps he could be better in our offense, where arm strength isn't as important as is Arizona's offense. If it doesn't work out, just cut him.

and that is a troubling statement unto itself. If your team is having to depend on back up QBs and kickers to win games, they are not very good.....

I hope this statement changes this year....

Yep. I set it up after the draft, and dont see any reason to change it. I thought (before the injury) that Tate would have the advantage, as he was going to get many more carries.
 
ehh, I am intrigued now just to see what Kubiak can do with him. Maybe Schaub takes Leinart under his wing and changes his attitude....

It will be interesting to say the least....

Kicker I understand. If your backup QB has to start more than 50% of the regular season you are probably boned anyway. Hell Jacksonville and Tennessee get away with having 0 starting QB's.
 
The only upside I see is that he is a prototypical west coast offense QB and probably smart enought to handle it, but after that I got nothin..................:thinking:
 
Are we going with 3 QBs then? Or does Dan O. get cut? I do find it strange that we would carry the same amount of QBs as RBs.

I'm sure a RB finds their way onto the practice squad.

How can the Texans cut Orlovsky, when Leinart knows nothing of the playbook? Will it take Leinart a month? Half the season? I get trying to replace Orlovsky, just not real confident that Leinart is the answer.

We kept 3 last year. I imagine that is what we'll do this year. Don't know who will be #2, though if Dan is worth anything it'll be him.
 
Why don't we just call The Methodist Training Center, The Gary Kubiak QB Rehabilitation Center. To me Matt Leinart = HWSNBN Part Deaux. Tons of talent but horrible work ethic.

I wouldnt go that far - Im by no means a Leinart fan but even I will concede he's a better football player than Dan-O. This move is about upgrading the roster.
 
Big picture, what does this say about the organization's trust in Dan-O? Would we still pursue Leinert had Orlovsky not thrown 2 picks against the Bucs? Kubiak talks about his solid camp but perhaps he doesn't think Orlovsky can protect the football.

I think the big difference is mittens had family telling him how great he was and following him everywhere . Mittens just now admitted that a lot of the sacks were his fault . Matt has no mittens if he admits his mistakes and realizes that this is a chance to jumpstart his career .

I think Matt is a lefthanded Schaub where he's more of a dart thrower than a strong armed qb . Is this bad ... nope ... this is a good system for that if he works hard .
 
All I can say is this signing is just awful. Leinart will be out of football very shortly, mostly because he simply doesn't care. He's the anti-Peyton Manning.

I don't see us cutting DanO because he knows our offense and Leinart does not (yet).

**edited to add** but we have to cut someone when Cushing comes back......:kitten:

Let's refer to the QB's by last name. I thought you were talking about Schaub at first (lol):voodoo:
 
I don't see them cutting DanO...It's a one year deal...

Pretty sure Leinart wants to use this as a stepping stone to a starting opprotunity.
 
Low risk, high reward. Schaub is going to be healthy all season and Leinart will be on the bench. At least he will learn from a good former QB coach and Uncle Rico before going back on the market next season.
 
It's Labor Day the unemployment job rate is record high... hire him for one year. Congrats and wishfully hoping the turnaround best. Have a great Labor Day. What are the better options out there to the present QB situation anyway.

This is what we all hope. Anyway, even with well documented flaws Leinert is still the best guy on the market.
 
It is amazing what the proliferation of tabloid TV, even sports channels has done to this country. I guess it is society in general. We judge someone without much basis in fact. Appearances say he is a playboy and he doesn't really care about football. How many of you actually know this guy well enough to know where football ranks for him? By the way, how many of you guys are just envious? :slapfight: Khari, can we get a hot tub smilie?

I'm not saying NOT to have an opinion. Just give the guy a chance.

:worldpeace: :texflag:
 
Finding a backup QB can be like shopping for clothes at an outlet store. You have to be willing to be patient and sort through a number of options in order to hopefully find one item that you really like - if you are lucky!

So, that is what the Texans are doing right now with their backup QB position. After the top 32 QB's in the league, what is left are not the most stylish options. So, they Texans are rifling through the prospects trying to find a keeper. Maybe that could still turn out to be Orlovsky. Or, maybe that is Leinart. Or, maybe it is not either of these two guys. If neither is a keeper, then they will just keep looking and muddle by the best they can, just like almost every other team in the NFL.

McNair and Co. were more interested in propagating and promoting this same "squeaky clean family aura" more than what should have determined his value...............PERFORMANCE.

Uhhh.... hardly anyone here knows the players on a personal level. The players are judged by their performance on the field, what they say to the media and their actions. Nearly everything said about Leinart fits into one of those 3 categories.

And we hope to NOT give the guy a chance this year, thankyouverymuch.
