Quarterback Rank: #38
Overall: #218
Leinart played backseat to Kurt Warner all season. He played in the last three games of the season, but more so in mop-up duty. This could be a make or break offseason for Leinart. He remains the future in Arizona, but needs to start showing he can lead the team. Leinart certainly has the offensive weapons around him to succeed. Leinart doesn't have a great arm, but can make up for that with his accuracy. He can struggle with decision making, though, and doesn't do a very good job with the deep ball.

His NFL career isn't over, but he is running out of time. He is worth a late-round grab, but don't count on a breakout season from Leinart just yet. Hopefully, he isn't on TMZ too much this offseason. |
