Quarterbacks: Stats Alone

The stats don't change my opinion that our only pick here should be Leinart, if he's there. My biggest problem with AB hasn't been his fumbles, or his smiling, or even his inconsistency. My problem with him is his accuracy - of which he has very little. Horn seemed to be able to make the "behind him" catches, but Stallworth and others seemed to struggle with this. Throwing behind a WR also negates the WRs biggest advantage: speed. Rarely, if ever, did AB hit a WR in stride. Everything I hear about Leinart is that he is an accurate passer. Plus, his TD to INT rates look good.
