Report: Leftwich to Falcons

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Sources: Leftwich, Falcons agree to deal (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7240186?CMP=OTC-K9B140813162&ATT=5)

Is this an upgrade over Harrington?

Not really, he might be better than Harrington but not by much. I do think he will be starting for them though by week 5.

Is this an upgrade over Harrington?

Of course it is. I think Leftwich is better than Garrard. It was just personal with Del Rio.

But he had better have a o-line in front of him cause he can't move around too well.

Hmmm ... Leftwich should last about 3 games or so, then get he'll get injured again. He's the Taylor Jacobs of quarterbacks.

Leftwich is a big upgrade at least he has had a winning season before. I believe Harrington had none.

Leftwich is not that bad of a quarterback. He's just immobile which leads to him taking big shots. If you block for him, he'll pick you apart. He throws a great deep ball and can gun it on the intermediate routes. He's also tough enough to play through some nicks and he's a pretty good leader.

ATL News Alert: "This just in, after the recent signing of Byron Leftsandwich, all area Atlanta Krispy Kreme stores are in lock-down mode until further notice...STAY TUNED."

Then why does he miss so much time every year?

2006 - missed 10 games
2005 - missed 5 games
2004 - missed 2 games
2003 (rookie year) - missed 1 game

He hasn't completed a full season YET. I don't understand why people think so much of him. His career completion rate is just 58% while averaging just 196 YDs/gm, with 51 career TDs (avg 12 a year) and 37 INTs and he loses a lot of fumbles.

I don't even want him as our backup even if he WAS able to stay healthy.





So, does he get #7? :D

This isn't Pete Kendall at guard. A lot of fans don't understand that you can't just throw a QB on the field with one week in the offense. Should be at least three weeks before we see Leftwich take the field. Even then their offense will look like something you would see in the preseason.
