Leftwich's situation is pretty interesting and definitely worth getting into. I've called and left messages and texted Leftwich several times since he was released. But he never replies. Part of that is Leftwich doesn't want to say anything about the team or the city that would be deemed controversial. So in a way, he's being classy about this.
Not to stir up another Leftwich vs. David Garrard debate, but I've always wondered how Byron would've played had he been the starter in last year's season opener. Would he have struggled as badly as he did in the preseason? After all, Byron was kind of known as a "gamer."
Anyway, I will say that I've always thought Byron was a good, honorable man. Almost every day in the locker room, we'd go back and forth critiquing movies - or second-guessing the ending to "The Departed" or some other flick out there.
