NFL Trade Rumors: Matt Leinart To The Giants?

Who cares if he’s a 1st round pick? The guy never seems to step up and unlike Carr, who never really complained about his lot in life, Lienart does.
He never liked being a backup and his entitled attitude is really bad.
Bomar hasn’t looked perfect, but neither has Eli because of the line issues. I hope they keep Bomar because I think he could develop more then Lienart ever could or will.

He is just like jemarcus russell… he came into the league thinking he could just skate by on and not put in any work….I don’t think he has ever shown enough fight in him to contend for a starters job. How could u be a bad qb with larry fitz and bolden?

QB from a former regime, not the wizzduds own man. Leinart was setup to fail from the get go, and wizzdoodle did everything in his power to thwart the guys development as a QB. As Leinart said after his meeting with wizzeydope the decision was made on things beyond football. If Leinart saw NY as an opportunity to rebuild his rep as Carr did here then it could be a good fit.

This being said, I still dont want him. We need that roster spot for our defense.

If Eli gets injured we aren’t going far in the playoffs with any of these guys and I think Bomar could be good enough to steal a game if Eli goes down.

I said this in another thread but we aren’t a really good team. We have enough talent at the starting positions to win a lot of games but it’s going to take a lot of injury luck for us to have a great season. QB is important but we need that extra spot for another linebacker, corner, or kick return guy.

is unhappy out there as a backup, I don’t see him wanting to be backup here as well.
He thinks of himself as a starter, same for a Jeff Garcia, guys who have that mindset,
could be more trouble than their worth. I see the Giants looking at the waiver wire, or for a “young” veteran to come in as a third string QB.

I thought I read yesterday that Whisenhunt hasn’t committed to a starter as yet?

I bet we just called them to see if there was a Tim Carter for Reuben Droughns deal there.

Matt Leinart has reportedly made it clear that he doesn’t want to be a backup no matter where he ends up this season.
Teams have called Jay Glazer, who trained Leinart in MMA workouts, to gauge the QB’s character. “He’s done enough in this league,” related Glazer. “He wants to be a starter somewhere.” Leinart’s comments over the past week suggest he’s either receiving bad advice or simply out of touch with his value around the NFL right now.

and too big a contract. Look for nobody to trade for him, and wait until he is cut. Leinert did not respond well twice to the “it’s your job to lose” situation. If he’s cut, he’ll have to be more humble and know he has to prove himself or nobody will be interested at any price.

What I am saying is not, no way, no how. Bad attitude, etc. what everyone said. Trade a draft choice? No. It is not as if we are a perfect team with riches to spare. This will not be the last build year unless the football fairy cures our OL (getting older) and LB situation. We need the draft choices, esp since two of our draft choices are hurt, one may not return (hope I am wrong). Shows how valuable picks are. Trade drafts for a backup who probably cannot bring playoffs? Nope, I’m going with Bomar.

Carr still wanted to start when he came to NJ, but once he realized that there wasnt a starting opportunity for him in the league at the time, and he would have to earn that opportunity, he came to NJ to start to rebuild his resume. If not team can offer a Leinart, he might want to come here to do what Carr did, Carr got his second shot.

Im not saying it will happen, Im just saying it could make sense depending on what the other teams are offering him.

Matt Leinart is a waste of money.The Gmen need help in secondary.That is what they should pay money for. the secondary is so porus it looks like a collender for straining pasta.

but I don’t this is the right move. Think about it for a minute. Reese and TC knew that Bomar was going to be here this year, and if they thought he was ready, they’d never have paid (some would argue overpaid) to bring in Sorgi. When they made that decision, it had to be based on either a) Bomar wasn’t ready yet and they’d likely carry three quarterbacks this year, or b) Bomar wasn’t going to be the answer and he was going to the practice squad if he made it there, or to another team if he didn’t.

     Now this MIGHT have changed, if Bomar has done far better and progressed much quicker than the Giants expected, based on management’s view of the postseason thus far. But it’s clear that coming into the year, the view was Bomar wasn’t ready.

     With that said, I’d be surprised if a move does come before Thursday night’s preseason game if the Giants are considering Bomar and trying to evaluate if he’s ready or not. I hink they’ll want to see him on the field for some additional snaps, and also allow the final cuts to happen and see who else is out there.

    Leinart really doesn’t want to be a backup, he’s expensive, and he’ll cost both whatever draft choice is sent for him, as well as, most likely, the draft pick from last year that was used to select Bomar. I really don’t see him being an ideal fit, nor cost effective.

    With all that in consideration, I hope the Giants DON’T make a move here, as unless they can grab a short-term, one-year stop-gap for virtually nothing from the final cuts who seems a clear cut above Bomar, I think Bomar is progressing and can probably fill in as well as anyone the Giants would bring in at this point. After all, if Eli goes down, the difference between an 8-8, 6-10 or 4-12 record isn’t going to get us to the playoffs this year anyways. And of course if Eli doesn’t go down, and we know he’ll TRY to stay out there, carrying a second and maybe third quarterback, giving up a draft choice and taking on salary would be a waste of a roster spot, a pick and money.

    I’m all for grabbing someone from the final cuts if they think he’s clearly above Bomar and cheap, but otherwise, while I don’t think Bomar is ready to lead the team to the playoffs, I don’t think he’s a substantial dropoff from most of the alternatives either.

never had his head on straight.

Somebody knew something when he dropped in the draft that year back to 10 and the Cards took him because they needed someone badly.

He knocks up his girfriend and then dumps before his first year.

He parties like a porn star and is all over the internet hammered

….and now his teammates know he’s not a leader and he’s let someone like D. Anderson displace him.

Can I understand the benefit to the Giants to take this guy? He can’t take the heat from Wisenhunt and he’ll someone handle the pressure of NY?

What is so bad about Bomar? Is JR just making sure this guy doesn’t go too cheap. Anything over a 7th round pick and I’ll be disappointed.

He has the arm strength and he isn’t gun shy.

No one knows what will happen if he plays. You think they kept Brady on the bench behind Bledsoe waiting for an injury? Nope.

I was watching something about the QB competition in Arizona a few days ago, and they said that all preseason Leinart has been unable to get the ball down the field, he just keeps throwing the ball to his checkdowns. If that’s all he’s doing, we might as well bring back Danny Kanell because that’s all he did.

Charlie Batch – Steelers

 I think if Bomar could stop following receivers with his eyes glued on them he would be pretty dam good.

(thank God), I think the Giants should inquire about the availability of David Carr. I watched their 2nd pre season game and Carr did not play at all. And there was no injury situation. Nate Davis played extremely well in that game. Carr got some play last week. Anyway, it’s possible Carr may be a luxury SF just doesn’t need. Plus he knows the playbook and could be ready day 1. IMO it’s worth a phone call.
