Yup happened like 5 or 6 years ago when the Chiefs ran up and picked before the Vikings (I think they were the teams)

that was when the Vikings picked Kevin Williams... I thought that was just a blunder, and not planned

I thought that was just a blunder, and not planned Yeah... it was a "blunder" the Vikings were in trade talks with the Ravens and told NFL officials with like 32 seconds left on the clock. When there was no confirmation from Baltimore in time they got a "pass" and Carolina was on the clock and they immediately picked OT Jordan Gross and then Jacksonville picked literally seconds right after to pick Leftwich and then the Vikings finally chose Kevin Williams. |

Did Leftwich sign with Tampa? How do you feel about that Chris?

Yeah a 2 year deal that can be worth up to 6 mill or something.
I mean it's going to make training camp exciting and it's going to create a starting QB competition. I think Leftwich is a solid QB if he has good protection because he has zero mobility. Our offensive line is solid but we could probably use another OG and C in case Jeff Faine decides to leave.
I'd rather him start the season than McCown or Griese.

Obviously have seen Leftwich alot. Chris is pretty accurate, if he gets back into it he can develop a big time arm, but he's going to need alot of time. Not only is the mobility bad, but his release is VERY slow. He was knocked for only staring at one target alot but I feel he has improved with that. He looked great for the Steelers last year.

Ya, Leftwich is a guy that can be extremely impressive with the right supporting cast. |

He's a warrior too. I'm sure you have seen the clips of him at Marshall when he was hurt late in the game?
