Report: Leftwich to Falcons

[jdlea]

Leftwich is not that bad of a quarterback. He's just immobile which leads to him taking big shots. If you block for him, he'll pick you apart. He throws a great deep ball and can gun it on the intermediate routes. He's also tough enough to play through some nicks and he's a pretty good leader.

Then why does he miss so much time every year?

2006 - missed 10 games
2005 - missed 5 games
2004 - missed 2 games
2003 (rookie year) - missed 1 game

He hasn't completed a full season YET. I don't understand why people think so much of him. His career completion rate is just 58% while averaging just 196 YDs/gm, with 51 career TDs (avg 12 a year) and 37 INTs and he loses a lot of fumbles.

I don't even want him as our backup even if he WAS able to stay healthy.





So, does he get #7?
