Q.B. competition?

Well he proved last year he can come into middle of a close game and pull out a win. Clearly coming in as a #2, i got np with that.

I first thought this thread was going to be a troll. However as long as they make it clear that Leftwich is here as a backup and not as someone who's competing for a starting job then it should at least be interesting.

Leftwich would only slide into the number 2 role. BL's contract will be cheaper then what Collins is getting paid so we will gain some cap room. Plus Leftwich is a known diehard redskin fan. No Biggie.

RI and the Pittsburgh Post both said BL for the No.#2 spot. I have no problem with Leftwich. He has more starts than JC, and has a cannon for an arm. Pro Football Today exagerates in it's article, however.

I have no problem with this. I actually kind of like Leftwitch, he's coming in as the #2... and as much as I like Collins for the miracle 2007 run, I really don't think he's that good. I think he thrived because of Saunders system that year.

I figured he'd end up a lower-tier starter, but he's been on the market a while without much interest, so I guess not. If he's content to be a backup, fine with me. He's 8 years younger than Collins.

I bet Jax regrets cutting ties with him after Garrard's performance last year.

this is the redskins here...we will cut colt! He is the new Tim Hassleback

If there was even a hint of Leftwich being a #1, Florio would have been on it like flies to shit. And as far as my comment earlier regarding the Jets or Bucs, well maybe those teams would have approached Leftwich already. Oh well, moving on.

Leftwich looked really good when he lit us up last year but I don't think he is a good fit for the WCO. I think we should go after Jeff Garcia IMO.

I wouldn't mind signing him for a reasonable price, but I agree with most of you, it's silly to think Leftwich could do a better job than JC at the WCO so why sign him to be a #2?

this makes no sense. he is not a west coast system qb, his release is not quick he is so slow in delevering the ball and is not very mobile. when played played last year it was behind the steelers o-line.our o-line is horrible u need to be able move a little bit to play behind them.

The steelers line was terrible why do you think leftwich even played, cause we knocked bigben out. If we would've stayed healthy our line played very well that's why Portis lead the league most of the season, until injury put an end to all that.
