RE: enough with the woulda, coulda, shoulda
The one who will step in and make a difference is Brick. Leinart will suck from day one, they will blitz his butt from day one on every play. Young inexperianced QB, you send the everyone after him. With our offensive line they will get to him on every play. The guy who will be able to come in and play on day one and contribute for years to come is BRICK. You build the OL and DL and you don't need a francise qb behind center you just need someone to take the snap and hand it to someone and let the line bowl over everyone. You have no wheres to look but at this past years Super Bowl, where was Brady, Manning, McNabb, Culpepper... they were all at home watching the game!
Euph, I agree Brick would be an upgrade at the OT position, but do we really need to use our highest pick on a position that isn't a glaring hole? Wouldn't you rather use the first-round pick for a position that we really need help with? I think that our OLine is VERY talented, but they had a lot of injury problems last season, and they also suffered from a bad playbook and poor coaching. I say that we give these guys one year under Payton and the new OLine coach before we use any of our first-round picks on linemen. That being said, I still think Leinart is the answer. YOu just can't pass up on a guy like that. How many times are we going to get a chance to draft a player like Leinart? Not many. Sure they'll blitz him, but every quarterback gets blitzed. I actually think that it would HELP Leinart. One of his best attributes is his decision-making ability. I believe that if teams just tried to rush him, they'd be leaving open targets for the most accurate passer to come out of the draft in many years.
And sure all of those guys were at home watching the Super Bowl, but two of the top 10 QBs in the league WERE in the Super Bowl. And also, Brady WAS in the Super Bowl three out of the last four years. Gentlemen, a defense is good, but you still can't win without an offense.
