Coyle Mock

Let's not put too much weight on the Chow-Leinart relationship...if we go 5-11 next year and Fisher gets the boot, don't you think Chow will too? Chow did not get Mike Williams last year.....when WR was much more of a need at the time...than QB is today. Reese will pick who he likes best with some input from Fisher. If they pass on Young for, say Brick, or a trade down, they feel the pressure to win in 2006 and can't wait the year or two it will take to get Young ready. Anyway, I was pretty disappointed with the Offense last year...Chow did not seem like the so-called genius everyone claimed.

But they can/could run well enough to keep the Defense honest...Leinart can't move nearly as well as Brady or, from what I remember, Montana. Anyone know why he wears that knee brace?? If he takes a physical at the Combine this week, those issues may also come to light.

 

Ingle Martin isn't unknown...he is very well known around here.

 

I want Young over Leinart too, but Tom Brady is not a mobile QB. Actually Leinart reminds me a lot of Brady, except his passes don't have as much zip IMO.

 

But Brady is in the right system.
The fans crave the deep ball, but Chow doesnt do deep balls that much. My question is, how long will Chow be here. He said when he was hired, he wanted to be a HC. As soon as Chow leaves, we might have to draft another QB because Leinhart wouldnt fit the "go for the jugular philisophy" that Hemi had and the fans generally loved.

 

Brady is far from a mobile QB, but he will run when he has too and runs better than Peyton Manning.

 

Jeff, Danny Weurful won a national championship and heisman and when he was reunited with spurrier, and running a similar offense as he did in college he still sucked. Not that I am comparing Leinart to Weurful, but just because he was a successful college qb means squat at this point. And how long is he going to run this offense? Does anyone really think that Chow is going to be here for more than 1 or 2 more years? I hope Cutler is impressive during the workouts because I think he will end up being head and shoulders above Leinart, so I hope he moves up to the point where we would consider taking him over Leinart. I think Leinart will be a solid QB, but if your picking # 3 in the draft then your not expecting a "solid" player, your expecting a great player, and just my opinion but I dont see leinart being great.

 

Leinart was also the qb of an offense loaded with talent, which I think played a big part in him running the offense to the level he did, thats nothing against him, thats just being truthful.

I think most of your top QBs have pretty strong arms. Not everyone has the arm of Favre or Leftwich obviously, but even your Mannings and Brady and Delhommes can sling it down the field pretty well. Leinart reminds me of Couch from a physical standpoint, and I was not sold that Couch was worth the top pick because of his physical attributes. I think Couch could have been solid if he didnt lose his confidence, but he wasnt going to be Peyton Manning or Brett Favre.

At this point its all speculation from both our standpoints, but let me ask you this. If Cutler shows he has a stronger arm, is more mobile, and every bit as intelligent wouldnt it make sense to go with him over Leinart?
