ESPN evaluated the learning curve for rookie QBs Vince Young, Matt Leinart and Jay Cutler. Here are some quotes from Leinart.

“If they give me a two-high look, I’m going back-side inside lookie to the X on the slant. Any single-high, Cover 3, Cover 1 look, we’re going to throw off the defender here, Z to the Y. Any pressure look we can really work both ways, depending on what type of leverage the defender has on the receiver.”

“I don’t want it to be, ‘Oh, he’s a rookie quarterback. He’s allowed to make mistakes,’” Leinart said. “I don’t want to do that.”

“I’m just not used to a whole lot of things,” Leinart said. “This is funny. I got lost going to the locker room [the other day] because I haven’t been in the stadium.”
