Know what I remember about that draft year, leading up to draft day? Regarding QBs, almost all I remember hearing was how Leinart was "NFL ready", how he already played like and "NFL quarterback", blah, blah, blah. Laughable...if he was really that good, his place as a starter would already be assured and Warner would be assigned as backup, or he would have moved on to another team, with someone else assigned as Lenart's backup. Now, people are talking about how this needs to be Lenart's year to prove something or he will be sent packing...by a 37 year old QB.
Anyway, maybe Leinart's take is "Hey, I got a pretty good payday. Sitting on the bench isn't so bad as long as I am getting paid!"
At least in VY's and Jay's cases, they both seem to have the desire to want to play and win, and I just don't see that with Leinart.I can't blame Weisenhunt either, I would probably be starting Warner over Leinart as well.
