I agree, Mathews has shown a lot of promise in the preseason. He'll be the #1 back for SD.

Gimme a year...then we can visit that. Darren McFadden....that was the "remember his name" guy of a couple of years ago.
More polished runner, played against better defensive teams and he was
And when QBs THINK they can make a tackle, they get what they deserve!
John Lynch said it in the booth, when they saw a QB THINKING he was gonna make a block or a tackle.....it was open season! The defense players looking to hit the QB use to "lick their chops".
Someone stated "he is a football player". Sorry, he is a QB...not a football player. They are SUPPOSED to be the 2nd smartest guys on the field outside of the coaching staff. That was a very stupid move on Orton's part.
McFadden needs the Reggie Bush treatment, just don't think he's going to cut it running from the backfield consistently. Get him in space and/or hit him in stride and he's scary.
Matt Leinart needs to learn a few things from Tim Tebow like say......HUMILITY?
Coach Whisenhunt says QB decision yet to be made - Welcome to Charter.net
For Leinart to say he has out performed the other QBs in training camp isn't saying much when he seems to be so lackluster moving the offense on the field. Maybe the Cardinals should invite JaMarcus Russell to compete against Leinart to drive home the point to Leinart that the team is not at all impressed with his play so far. If saying that even JaMarcus Russell is a better option than Matt Leinart doesn't wake Leinart up than nothing will.

With his preseason benching, I think he's making all this noise so that they trade/release him either this season or next.
Yeah,but who would take him? If he can't make it on the Cardinals(without Kurt Warner),which other team would he have a chance with?
The same teams that would take players like Derek Anderson and David Carr. Teams without a solid 2nd option at QB and hoping for a manifestation of talent that was last seen on flashes during prior NFL games or during their college days. I wouldn't rule out Oakland, Buffalo, Minnesota, New York (Giants, Sorgi just put on IR) and his old coach in Seattle all being interested... I am sure there are others too. He just needs to be humble and know his place if he's given a second opportunity. I think he'd have problems beating the number 2s on some of those teams though (like Gradkowski, Whitehurst, even Jackson... Minnesota is a little QB heavy anyways).
I said he was "a player", meaning that he was tough and going to give his all. He was making a leg-block tackle to save a touchdown. I DON'T THINK he was expecting Harrison to lower his helmet and aim squarely for his back, especially in a preseason game. Harrison easily could have jumped over him and kept on running. I do hope Orton learned his lesson and won't be doing that again.
I hope he learned his lesson too. Leave the tackling for BIG GUYS!! IF I was a fan or a coach, I would be FURIOUS for my starting QB to take that kind of risk.
Didn't Curt Warner do that once and injured himself real bad because of that?
I agree with you Cy.
Yaz,
I'm guessing you ADDED the part about being a Moron ?
There was NOTHING wrong with this play at all.
This is your STARTING QB, why are you in that position in the first place ?
You got 10 other guys going after him as well and you got to be the one to try to tackle him ?
It is a Defenseman's mentality to hit the opponent, I see nothing wrong with it.
Wins and losses mean NOTHING at this point of the year, playing together is the main objective.
I wouldn't expect anything different from you and Cy. You're Steelers fans. Now, if it had happened to Ben, you guys might see it differently.....
No I did not add the quotes(see the first line), those were from the site I got this.
Seeing there was a break inn the typing, I thought that you may have added the last several lines.
If it was Ben, I would not have seen it any other way. (except Ben is BIGGER than Orton).
I would have questioned him being in a position to have to tackle a 250 lb LB, then again, in Ben's case, that would not be a problem.
Fwiw, Orton is 6'4" 220, Ben is 6' 5" and 250
Bills set with Edwards as starting QB - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Sigh.
I have been saying that Edwards is a weak-armed wimp. HD said the Bills looked better on offense with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
I don't care if it is Fitzpatrick or Brohm. Please, no more Edwards. He can't throw the damn ball.
As a Bills fan who remembers the likes of Kelly, Flutie, and Bledsoe, this guy is NOT someone I trust.

Two of the top four (or maybe three) most popular QB's in Massachusetts history right there! :up

Fox reporting the Leinart era is coming to a close in AZ and the Cardinals are on the phones talking to teams to drum up interest.
He could be released before the end of the weekend.
