Comments on: Raiders expected to sign Matt Leinart

Did I really just scroll through two pages of Raider fan comments and only see one reference to Leinart’s porn-starrish facial hair. Come on Raider Nation, I thought y’all had a reputation to up hold. To be fair, I’ve never been to the West Coast, so I’m not exactly sure what that reputation is: I just figured it would involve more jokes about Matty’s sleazy soul patch/stache combo and what it implies about how he’s been making a living this offseason.

This is why this team is such a joke they trade last year a 3rd for Prior a 1st & 2nd for Palmer & now they want to bring in this bust……..whats the point of giving up your 3rd round pick for Prior if u are just going to drop him down on the depth chart……………Raiders will continue to be bottom feeders for a very long time……….I LOVE IT

The signing of Leinart should stop the string of nine consecutive seasons w.o a winning record, including an NFL record seven straight seasons w at least eleven losses.
——————————————————————————-
@sourdough: Listen, simpleton. The past ten years does not erase the success of the previous forty. The Raiders have been horrible but they remain the only team in the division to represent in a SB and they won more playoff games than the division darling chargers during the same space of time. Only a handful of franchises in the history of the NFL have experienced the success of the RAIDERS. These are facts, can not dipute them.

As we all know, RM loves depth in every position. Im sure RM knows what hes doing! No way Pryor takes a backseat to Matt L. HE will play as back up to Palmer yes but 3rd string and just after Pryor is all….They are just looking for some depth….Just Win Baby!!!

It’s funny all these arm chair QBs here … don’t you think McKenzie and the coaches know what Pryor can do. McFadden can take snaps at QB if they need a RB playing the QB position seriously if a team keeps Boller as a backup QB how bad is your backup backup QB. This reminds me all the the brain trusts on here saying that JaMarcus was the next Peyton Manning.

If only Al Davis didn’t listen to Art Shell … just imagine if Al drafted Leinart the following year Al would have taken Megatron instead of JaMarcus … ouch.

A smart pick up for a variety of reasons. Matty looked good
last pre season and in his one start, before getting hurt, so he’s obviously comfortable in Knapp’s system.
He’ll get both Carson and TP to speed.
I’m one of many who still believe he was never given a fair shake in AZ, and he didn’t see much pt behind Schaub, so he’s still an unknown commodity.

I remember Matts draft. There was an interview where he laughed at the thought of being selected or dopping to the Raiders at number 18. Funny how things come back at you sometimes.

waiting for your take on palmer/leinart or do you just comment on the 9ers?

By: raiderrob21

raiderrob21 — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:30:35 +0000

Calm down everyone. Just someone with knowledge of Greg Knapps system to help Terrell Pryor learn it since he wont get many if any practice snaps. Welcome to The Dark Side Matt, you bringing the chicks from the hottub with you?

RAIDER NATION!!!!

Raider fans getting excited about Matt Leinart they mus be pretty desperate or maybe just bored with the draft because they traded away all their good picks.

I’ve been trying to understand who this signing will be good for and who will benefit most. Then it struck like lightening – Leinhert’s agent.

I remember being pisssed that Leinart snubbed the 49ers in 2005 and decided to stay in college rather then get taken by us #1.

Well I’m here to say thank you because I’d take Alex Smith over your busted ass any day of the week. I mean the dude couldn’t complete a pass longer then 15 yards and that’s when he had Fitz and Boldin on the team, pathetic. Ultimately couldn’t beat out a washed up HoF QB and once benched his cry baby attitude basically ended any chance of him ever being a starter not that he has the talent anyway.

I still think Bomar has huge upside….

Day 3 is what it is all about for raiders…a lot of guys moved up but some are falling…love the value the steelers just got w/ the DT from u of washington

I like the move, give Pryor competition show him nothing is given. Make him work harder than he is working now, and he has been working hard. Now raiders brothers lets pray together that josh campman falls to us lol.

After careful consideration by Leinart, he has decided to sign with Oakland. He noted a study by his agent, stating that Oakland has the highest number of hot tubs and beer bongs per capita of any of the NFL markets. The number of local bars with “ladies night’s” was also cited as a contributing factor. The actual potential of the football team, however, was never a subject of discussion.

HERE’S A THOUGHT…Put a Quarterback on a team and give him no weapons then call him a bust… THAT’S FAIR… the only shots he got he got injured
———————————————————-
uh, what??? so Fitzgerald and Boldin arent weapons??? i would like to see what are weapons then. it’s fair to call Leinart a bust. the reason why is because the guy is injury prone and doesnt have a great arm. i can see you losing a job to Warner, understandable, but losing a job to Derek Anderson! if Leinart is healthy, he’s a good backup. as for him being a raider, he’s a different QB than Palmer is.

Anyone who saw him play under green at az knows the kid clda been a good starting qb… He carved the bears up… Yes he did it throwing… Green went conservative with the run after ML was tearing it up. Edgerrin james had nothing in the tank. Bears come back, green melts down, no coach after green gabe ML a fair shake. I would take him over other starting qbs lime kolb and skelton

yeah, he’s terrible. Better draft some more lineman so that Palmer doesn’t get hurt.

The Raiders already have Dennis Dixon,but bigger, stronger, faster, & with cool tattoos.
His name is Tyrell Pryor, & there’s no way Leinart should rightfully beat him out for #2.

call him a bust if you want but arizona should not count as whisenhunt never wanted him and never gave him a fair chance.

—————-

Leinart is a bust, period. He’s been in the league for over half a decade and thrown just 15 TDs.

And he’s had opportunities every place he’s been.

Yeah, Whisenhunt pulled Leinart. To put in Kurt Warner, and the Cardinals got to the Super Bowl, and played a couple years of amazing football.

Believe me, if Leinart was delivering like that, Whisenhunt would have wanted him.

Raiders fans should start thinking Super Bowl.

humb0lt thinks Super Bowl for the Chargers every year. This year it’s the Super Bowl Express. Awesomely optimistic for a team that went from 13 wins to 9 to 8 the past three seasons.

So what is wrong with Dennis Dixon?

He pissed someone off in Pittsburgh and no one else has signed him. I believe that he is a better option then Matty Leinart. He is way more athletic, better arm, with a better reputation.

Hell Dennis Dixon could easily be the modern day Vince Evans.
