Early career injuries can derail a promising career, even for a player who continues to learn the tricks of the trade from the sidelines. Players who are injury prone don't get financial committments, and any QB without a financial committment will take the blame whenever anything goes wrong. He's an easy scapegoat.
From what I've read, the real knock on Leftwich is his conditioning, and that the injuries have been the result of being out of shape, putting extra stress on other parts of the body.
