Matt Leinart completed 24-of-38 passes for 360 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception against the Packers Friday night.
Preseason caveats apply, but Leinart posted the eye-popping numbers in just one half of football. He came within a missed two-point conversion of bringing the team back from a 38-10 halftime deficit. Outside of the interception, Leinart was nearly flawless. He was on the money as a passer and showed a much better pocket presence than we've previously seen. Perhaps this will be enough to "officially" bypass Brian St. Pierre.
