My best hope is that Schaub stays healthy and we flip Leinart to a team later in the season who is desperate due to injuries. If we got a fifth or a sixth for him, that we be great (presuming there's a draft next spring).

The spin of the ball is overrated. It is different but it does not change the basics of catching a football. This is not like a baseball. Most lefties throw a more catchable ball.

Now the protection and the roll outs change. That is a concern.

And Leinart has cement shoes, just what we need another slow footed QB. I will say his on the field stuff is better than Orlovsky, it's his off the field stuff that I am not interested in.

If he can be used to trade to desperate team by the trade deadline than this is a good move. And as a 3rd string QB, he is better than most, and if a team is down to #3 they are done anyway.
