Good questions, Chris: Let me address them as best as I can
1.) Actually I believe that Leftwich has had multiple injuries not only in the NFL, but also in college. Apparently he can't stay healthy in any venue. This has probably eroded what limited athletic skills he may have possessed. Moreover, it is telling to me that a 4-5th rounder like Garard easily beat him out AFTER Lefty got healthy. Then Leftowitz goes to Atlanta and can't even beat out Joey Harrington?? Bwahahahaah!! Anyway the evidence at this point is overwhelming: the guy stinks.
2.) In light of all of the above there is only so much Al Saunders can do with a guy who plays like a cigar store indian statue. I'd rather take a chance on some nondescript guy from a small Ivy League school, like, say, Harvard for instance and give him a chance to succeed in the NFL. Gosh. This all sounds so familiar. Oh well I'm sure its just my imagination.
WHAT SAY YE?
