I have to admit that my emotions got the best of me last night. Watching Leinart play like a vet against the same team that dismantled Losman and the Bills was disturbing, especially after the beating we took from the Lions.
Now that I have my head back let me make some evaluations:
1) Leinart has looked very good in his first two starts. PERIOD. Coming from USC is probably better preparation than coming from Tulane. Leinart's pocket presence is much better than Losman's already!!
2) The Cardinals OL is much better than the Bills.
3) The receiving corp. for Leinart is much better than the Bills. I really didn't realize that until I watched the Cards last night. I apologize to everyone, including ICE, who suggested a trade for another receiver. Anquan Bolden on the Bills would definately help Losman. The Cards have like 4 solid starting WR's. We have Evans and Josh Reed. Reed on the Cards would be #5.
4) The idea that we could have drafted Leinart is somewhat ridiculous. If I had a dollar for every Heisman QB that was a bust in the NFL, well you get the picture. Hindsight is 20/20.
I don't think Losman is a bust!!!!! However, no more free passes either!!!
I'll give the fact that he needs a better OL, better receivers, and a coaching staff that is going to maximize his strengths. But, he needs to start improving on his short passing game, his reads, and his awareness of the field around him.
I'm allowing JP to get his **** together during the bye. Come the Green Bay game I am going to start being his biggest critic. He doesn't have to be great just good. I'm over improving and mediocre.
