Fitz will be on sometime in the 12 o'clock hour. Jason Whitlock is filling in for Rome today, so for those who despise Rome can listen w/o getting that "Romey is jumping on the bandwagon" feeling

I'll try to get updates, but ill be on the road

Basically humble as can be. Whitlock kept professing that he was the best WR in the league, but Fitz kept saying he has a lot of work to do to earn that position.

Was also asked about getting hosed on calls. tried to shy away from this question, but did say we aren't a major market so that is bound to happen sometimes.

Asked about Kurt Warner. Gave him nothing but praised. Talked about past accomplishments and how his leadership is really a big part of the offense

Asked about Leinart in the future. Fitz said he is the "Franchise QB" (not sure what that means) and that he is confident that he will eventually step and become a great QB

I'll explain.

Leinart is the franchise QB because he has potential, he has time to learn the offense, and learn how to become a QB in the league. Leinart is still young, and is learning how to be a profressional with the help of Whiz and Warner.

Any talk of Leinart being a bust, or of trading Leinart is foolish in my opinion. I don't see where that would be a smart move. Warner is old, he is playing great right now, but he is old. He might retire, get hurt, or just start to wane.

With the potential that Leinart has it is a small risk to think of him as our QOF. I know many disagree. Many want to trade Leinart, and hang there hopes on Warner, and have Brian "3rd string for life" St.Pierre back this team up.

It is ridiculous. With only 16 games to his credit Leinart has a lot left, a WHOLE lot.
