Matt Leinart doesn't want to be a backup quarterback
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 1, 2010 10:27 AM ET
It may not matter whether the Bills have discussed trading for Matt Leinart or not because Leinart doesn't yet realize what stage of his career he's reached.
FOX's Jay Glazer joined the Dan Patrick Show to talk about Leinart. Glazer says he's received calls from teams that wanted to a reference on Leinart's character. (Glazer has worked Leinart out in the past through his MMA training.)
Leinart didn't know teams were calling about him, but he made his wishes clear to Glazer: Leinart doesn't want to be a backup quarterback. He feels "He's done enough in this league . . .lolhe wants to be a starter somewhere."
Wait, what?
In six starts since his rookie year of 2006, Leinart has thrown five touchdowns and eight interceptions. That's enough to just show up as a starter somewhere?lol
Leinart is getting bad advice or just remains clueless about what his value is right now. He's not the not young prospect anymore; he's David Carr. A best case scenario for Leinart would be to find the right situation as a backup where he could learn a productive offense, and rehab his value should he get a chance on the field.
Saying he's "done enough" in the NFL will only cause teams to think twice about him.
If he doesn't want to be a backup, he may have to think hard about whether he wants to be a NFL quarterback at all.
