No I'm still a michigan fan, but i dont have a hometown team so iI'll root for anyone in our region as long as they arent playing michigan.

Eh?

Its simple go back and watch those two games. What did he do... he went over the top almost every play. Deep down the field. And he promptly preceded to show it was an abberation that he cannot do consistently.

He can't do it consistently in part due to his recievers having butterfingers and his coach being a terrible play caller.

Regardless he's still overrated by the media and fans. He's got a smaller window of opportunity to succeed as a QB since he's mobile and the legs are the first to go with age. He's an acl away from being below average by NFL standards. And the way he plays the odds say he's due for a serious injury sooner than later.

That being said, i'm kind of liking the falcons chances this weekend against the cowboys.

All of this is irrelevant. Nobody sucks as bad as Chris Leak. And YES, I'm a Gator fan.

He'll be drafted by a team that thinks he has a shot to be the next Randle El. He's definitely not going to be a starting QB.

Agree with you there, PP...

He drives me nuts... I've seriously pulled my hair out over some of the shiatty passes he's made this season.

Chris Leak better work on his route running if he wants to play in the NFL. Ask Ronald Curry.

Falcons and stars scare me. Both are capable of playing great games and both are capable of self destructing. That game could go either way, although im rooting for vick.

He's very inconsistent and folds under pressure. That's the truth...

You think he's going to be a starting QB somewhere?

By the way, I agree with you on Brady Quinn. He was overrated and I doubt he'll do anything in the pros.

Gator, I do think that and I have ever since he took his first snap 4 years ago.
there is a bit of personal bias here, but
he throws a nice ball, is smart(at least football smart), and very athletic.

not bad qualities to have.
he would not be the first QB to do well in the pros who had his mental toughness questioned at the college level.
I remember hearing the same thing about Brees at Purdue and Jeff Blake at East Carolina(just to name 2).

Point taken, and I hope you're right. He's definitely a smart guy and very dedicated. Thanks for your input.
