Report: Leftwich to Falcons

Before week one started I was sure that the Falcons would be smart enough to grab him at QB. These idiots waited two weeks after Joey Harrington misfired away.

I think there are financial savings if you wait until after the first game. I could be wrong, but I think if he's signed before the first game, you have to pay him what he is owed under his contract with Jax. If you wait, you can pay the minimum. I thought that was why we waited until after the Dolphins game to sign Caldwell.

I think that's exactly right. Plus, from what I hear, Leftwich was holding out for the best deal out there. I don't that he got the best deal, though. I just know that he supposedly had a bit of a "I don't need to sign with anyone if I don't want to" attitude.

From BAD to BAD. No improvement here, this year is toast for the falcons!

I still honestly don't believe the Falcons would have been very good even if they had Mike Vick. We all saw how they ended that season last year. The way they played in the beginning looked like they were Super Bowl contenders. Then all of a sudden the real Falcons football team showed up.

I think deep down they want to earn the right to draft Brian Brohm.

People don't like Leftwich because of his size, but he has above league average mobility. He's even pretty good at running and making people miss in the open field, which understandably, he doesn't have many chances to do.

Leftwich will develop into a great QB if he can ever put together a full season, which is far from a guarentee. He definately has a throwing style that puts him directly in harm's path.

Yeah, IF he can put together a whole season. I haven't watched or heard much about Atlanta this year but I don't think their line is pretty good. He is going to be getting hit. He has a tendency to get hurt.

That should work out well for them (getting the #1 pick).

They really do have to plan for a future without Vick.

Haha, that would go over well with the players. "Ok guys we are aiming to get the #1 draft pick this year so lets try not to win." Either way I don't think they will be good for at least another couple years.
