Re: Leftwich's starting position already in jepardy. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Byron Leftwich is 24-21 as Jacksonville's starting quarterback the past four seasons, including playoffs. He owns a 79.6 passer rating. He's only 27. And yet the D.C. native's tenure with the Jaguars could end sooner rather than later even though coach Jack Del Rio has said he's the starter this season. "I felt when I was healthy that I would be the quarterback," said Leftwich, who missed 15 of the past 22 games with injuries and was outplayed by perpetual replacement David Garrard in minicamp. "Instead of saying that you're injury prone, what's being questioned is if I can play. When I'm out there I'm going to win more games than I lose." If the Jaguars hadn't lost their final three games of 2006 with Garrard at quarterback, missing the playoffs at 8-8, Leftwich probably would be No. 2. Although he was Jacksonville's first draft pick after Del Rio took over in 2003, Leftwich simply doesn't get along with the coach. "I don't call Jack and say, 'Meet me at the bar and we'll have a drink,' " Leftwich told the Florida Times-Union. "We're not that close, but I respect him as a coach, and I'm sure he respects me." Perhaps. The Times-Union reported Del Rio wanted to draft Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn in the first round last month but was overruled by general manager James Harris, who chose Florida safety Reggie Nelson. "We didn't have a consensus to take [Quinn]," Del Rio said. "That's why we didn't take him. We're going to take consensus guys. We did have some people [who wanted to take Quinn]." Leftwich wasn't helped at minicamp with five of his top targets -- Reggie Williams, Matt Jones, Marcedes Lewis, George Wrightster and Matt Walker -- out with injuries.</div>
Re: Leftwich's starting position already in jepardy. I kinda wish he'd trade Leftwich and get this over with already. I'm sure they're going to lose him in Free Agency next year and end up drafting a QB then anyways.
Re: Leftwich's starting position already in jepardy. they needa trade him he stay hurt too much. even when he was at marshall he was getting hurt then
Re: Leftwich's starting position already in jepardy. No team w/o an above average O-Line should check this guy out because he is absolutely slow and asking for sacks from the opposition.
