Class of 2003

Byron is the second best QB from the draft class of 2003.  At least he's got that going for him.  When a list includes names like: 

Rex Grossman, Chris Simms, Kyle Boller, Brooks Bollinger, Drew Henson, Dave Ragone, Brian St. Pierre, Seneca Wallace, and Carson Palmer.

...you'd better be second.  

The First Six

Leftwich is not a bad QB.  He has a career QB rating of 80, which makes him a starting caliber QB in the NFL - albeit in the lower tier.  From a fantasy perspective, he has never done anything to warrant more than being an okay backup.  Myriad injuries are his big issue.  The guy goes down more ways than Lindsey Lohan.  Ankle, leg, knee, groin, you name it.

He spent his first four seasons in Jacksonville where he was given every opportunity to grow into his 7th overall 2003 draft billing.  He missed games to injury in each season.  2006 was his roughest go of it as his persistent ankle injury required surgery, thus ending his season in week six.  After a thorough review of Garrard's performance after the season, Del Rio opted to finally give up on Leftwich and cut him.

Atlanta picked him in 2007 after losing their dog-torturing QB to a prison term, but he could not beat out Harrington for the starting job - which should go down as the most embarrassing moment in his career.  He, of course, saw playing time as Harrington was woeful, but soon after getting the opportunity, he re-injured his ankle for a third time and was cut by the Falcons after the season.  Leftwich ended up in Pittsburgh for 2008 where he was in and out of the lineup while Big Ben struggled with a shoulder injury all season.  Byron played well in the limited reps he received.

2009 Fantasy Outlook

For the first time in years, Leftwich will be given a legitimate shot at starting.  He's battling Luke McCown (rookie Josh Freeman does not appear to be in the mix).  Whether he wins the job or not will determine whether he's fantasy viable.  If he does win, his corps of WRs led by Antonio Bryant and Michael Clayton are among the better tandems in the league.  He would be a decent fantasy backup should he pull it out.
