coverage of vince's second year

while vince has always been a target for criticism, i find the pile on mentality in his 2nd year a bit much. his practice punch and pre-season benching were given considerable attention as well as a perceived lack of passing development. the ante seems raised when wilbon can ad-hom vince without rebuttal.

matt leinart has edge, boldin, and fitzgerald supporting him but has a lower rating, completion percentage, and yards per attempt. leinart was pulled from yesterday's game for kurt warner. according to the arizona republic "after a poor performance in Week 1 he had to be prodded by the coaching staff to put in extra preparation time."

now vince deserves some criticism and i don't hate leinart now that he's in the NFL (i'm sure others do not feel likewise). but we hear plenty of talk that vince is struggling but little about leinart when he's playing worse. the lack of preparation comment is especially damning. you're telling me vince would have to be "prodded" into the film room after a loss? it will be interesting to see leinart's coverage if he can't right the ship, and also what comments wilbon has at tonight's game.
