Byron Leftwich - Interested?
I think Leftwich would make a great backup. He's young (27) and is a guy that plays with a lot of heart. He's had injury problems, but that's not as big of a deal for a #2 guy. I think he could be the type of player that would provide a spark if he were called on in an emergency and could scratch out a few wins if [that which must not be mentioned] ever happens. I wonder how much he would cost.

Re: Byron Leftwich - Interested?
I would definitely sign him, one as a backup, and 2 to prevent ATL from getting him.
I think he will be a starter again for somebody. |

Re: Byron Leftwich - Interested?
It definately wouldn't hurt to bring him in for a look. People year after year complain about Bouman and Martin, if you want a solid former NFL starter backup, dish out the dough. I'm fine with Martin... but I wouldn't mind Leftwich either.

Re: Byron Leftwich - Interested?
No thanks. Give me Martin over Leftwich. Shoot, right now I'd take Palko's upside over Leftwich.
Leftwich has only shown himself to be a sub par qb. Too much money for sub par. The Jaguars have had a great defense and run game for years and Leftwich has done nothing with that team. And my question is, how is a guy named the starting qb one day and a few days later is dropped from the team? Something fishy there. |

I would love to see him in a Saints uniform. Maybe Coach Payton could get him to shorten that wind up.

Re: Byron Leftwich - Interested?
Nope. Anyone who wants him on this team either hasn't ever watched him play, or has seen very little of him. He's AB without the mobility.
