Whodi....

I don't see why you aren't at least a little concerned about Leinart's possible future in N.O. I think people somewhat doubt his physical abilities, but mostly people doubt how he will adapt to life on our team. He'll be going quite literally from riches to rags(regardless of the contract he will get). I know he said he will go wherever he is drafted but that doesn't alleviate any of my concerns in the least. What is he supposed to say at this point? I think he doesn't want to come off as a complete jerk by saying "I would rather not go here, but i will go wherever i'm drafted". There is no precedent for this situation, being that no team's home city has been ravaged by a hurricane to this degree, plus the lack of stability in the franchise overall. I think it would be a little naive to think that everything will be hunky dory. Honestly if i was in his situation I would hold out and force a trade. Coming from where he's coming from, would u want to buy a house and live in N.O.?? Come on now.

Besides addressing another critical need, i don't think that the dropoff in lifestyle is as significant to a player like A.J. Hawk. And all of this stuff definitely matters to these guys. It's not all about the football to them.
