The Sit Down

[dreamcastrocks]

I read on PFT that President Obama, in his address to the American people tonight, is going to announce that he's inviting Leinart and Whiz to sit down with him in the Rose Garden next weekend and share a beer or two while working out their differences.

It appears that our long national nightmare might be over.

Tell that to the Gaza strip.

I am absolutely convinced that it is personal to some degree. I have no doubt that Whisenhunt wants to win. He has proved to use that he is a winner. However, just because you are a winner doesn't mean that you make all of your decisions based on logic and facts. No one in this world does.

If you mean coach is viewing Matt through the prism of his own personal bias, then yes, I'd agree. However, since it's pretty much impossible to escape viewing the world in this manner I suspect that's really not what you're saying. If you really believe that personal feelings are driving this decision than I strongly disagree with you. Whiz isn't that stupid.

Then he turned around and promptly lost that right to start. Things aren't static in the NFL last I checked. Things change. Players regress. Once again I think you assume this is personal. Where as I think Whiz sees it as his best opportunity to win. Nothing more or less. Matt has shown to not be capable of running his offense.

The only thing that is about Matt IMO is his inability to hang on to the job.

Breaks his collarbone and the guy that replaces him throws for 10,698 yards and 77 TDs over the next 40 games! Leinart's favorite historical sports figure has to be Wally Pipp.

Personal bias, absolutely. Personal negative feelings, not sure. No one will ever know unless one of these two come out and personally say so.

I once dated a Penthouse model that could shave a perfect Gaza strip, but I have no idea how this pertains to Whiz and Leinart other than I just wanted to let everyone know that I once dated a Pet.

I agee that Whiz ,for some reason, is more comfortable with DA but the regular season is different. The #1 gets 90% of the reps during the week and they settle into a routine. Leinart hasn't really been given the chance to do that as a starter under Whiz. Pre-season is all helter skelter and moving parts. I think once ML got established and into the starting routine that he would improve. We'll probably never know though, at least not in a Cards uniform. My point being that Anderson has done that as a starter and shown to not be all that effective.

How so? Because the general media contention is that Matt sucks too. The same backlash would be had if stuck with Matt and he sucks and we still lose. Won't have anything to do with the change. Of course you will have you very few snake reporters who will flop and take the "what if" angle. But that's to be expected.

Whisenhunt had three full seasons with Matt and didn't make a move when he had better options than Anderson. That's why he'd be criticized, if DA flames out and we have to start a rookie.

Well actually we'll blame Rod Graves.

 

[Rats]

Well actually we'll blame Rod Graves.

I already do. Is Cards Campos really Rod Graves? or maybe Luis Zendejas??

 

[az240zz]

If you take Whiz at his word and will keep players that give him the best chance of winning then he has to keep Leinart and Anderson. The two rookies don't give us the best chance to win at this position.

Unfortunatelly, this might be closer to the truth than any of us realize. Reminds me of how they used to handle people that wanted a raise. Just been dressed up differently.
