Guys this should be a hot topic i have Matt Leinart as my backup QB Which i would only use in bye week as i have Brees, that said Kitna has a PREFECT passer rating in preseason and he is available should i pickup Kitna & drop Leinart??
There is NO way I am giving ANYBODY advice to pick up Jon Kitna in 2008.
Seriously, I like Leinart a little better as I believe Arizona will name him the starter & be patient with him. He does come with some risk as Doomsday mentions above. I just think if you assume he's the starter for good, he's got 2 great WR weapons & I think Edgerrin James is on his last legs. Arizona should be throwing a lot in 2008.
Plus...I hate Jon Kitna. I will NOT pull another "Kitna" again!
I don't know if Joe is taking control of the league, but he should probably just pick up T-JAX. He looked good before getting banged up...much better than either Bears QBs anyway.
Leave it to thaas to change the subject about getting an avatar of his own.
Gholston has been struggling a bit learning a new position -- the Jets want to use him as an outside linebacker vs. the down lineman DE position he mainly played at Ohio St. The Jets are still impressed with his speed...he just has to learn the nuances of his new position. He played better in the second game vs. the Redskins. I'm still very optimistic that he'll make a solid contribution to the Jets' D in 2008.
Nearly all DEs making this transition struggle. Ware had some problems in preseason his rookie year as did Merriman and they both did very well as rookies. Even Dallas' pick last year, Anthony Spencer, had some learning, but did well as a starter while Greg Ellis was recovering early in the year.
This thread went off topic but since we're on the subject of an avatar for thaas, i'm thinking that in all the years he's been on the site I can't ever remember him using one. thaas, am i remembering correctly???
I say it's certainly time for him to have one. How about we come up with a few pics for him, post them here, and finally get him to decide on one?
What kind of avatar are you looking for? You do realize that you can place one up temporarily and then change it once you find that one you really want? If you need any help with this, just let me know.
I would. Leinart may not even be the starter by the time Brees' bye hits.

Sorry Jetman i knew that would hurt???
End of year 2008 headlines.....
Kitna gets comeback player of the year for a second time in his career

Just picked him up....
That would be extremely ironic, wouldn't it?
This year, Drew Brees will be the QB that I curse. He'll probably be lucky to throw for 2,000 yds.
Don't say that, we just drafted him for the expert league!
Speaking of the expert league, it looks like our backup QB Rex Grossman has lost his starting job to Orton...
I'm glad we have Drew Brees...I truly think he'll have a special 2008 season.

I would agree with that. (Joe Q...if you are reading this!)
Jetman.. What about getting Brett Favre or TJ for your new avatar??
I'll monitor it as the season goes on. So far, Gholston has been a "lucky avatar" since we got Brett Favre 2 weeks ago.
You, on the other hand, need to get an avatar of your own. There are so many good Vikings over the years/currently to choose from...don't let me down!
Speaking of Gholston have i read that he is struggling in camp??

You picked up on that one...

Gholston should be fine.
And as for the avatar thaas....
How about
AP or John Randle (that would be a cool looking avatar with all the face paint).
Just do me a favor and don't get Chris Carter, I'd rather not look at those Groucho Marx eyebrows every time you write something.
My votes for thaas' avatar:
1.) Fran Tarkenton
2.) A-Pete
3.) Bud Grant
I also don't want to see Cris Carter's ugly face.
I still trying to find that special
Avatar something you guys can really appreciate
I think you should get a Randy Moss avatar thaas :P
Good point scotty, how bout the one where he was mooning the packer fans
I'm not a big Moss fan, but that would be a funny avatar...
I agree. Get to work on that avatar, thaas!

Here's one to get this started:
Very nice, Joe Q.
What do you think, thaas? It's time for an avatar!
Nice... but not quite right

I have several in mind, but nothing so far has jumpd out at me and said YOUR THE ONE
