I think Q, if he sticks around, Lee, Fyre and Crawford are going to be the real leaders of this team. Marbury is the de facto leader because he is the PG and right now is still the best player, but I like what I see from Q, Lee, and Crawford and I think Fyre can be a leader also. Those four seem to care the most about the team and about winning and playing (as LB would put it) the right way. We just need to get rid of Francis, J. Rose, and JJ1 and this team will be filled with quality players both in talent and in attitude. I excluded Marbury b/c I think if he is surrounded by positive people and good players, he can be an effective PG.

If Q could be healthy and contribute with a starters production the he is definately captain material. Like someone already said here, he will be fighting for minutes.

I think every knick fan is hoping to get a badass again like starks, mase, lj, X-man, Harper even childs. I want that too but you are seriously smoking some crack if you think Q of all people can take on that role now. Q was a MAJOR reason the knicks lost last year. It makes me angry that Q is so well liked when his production was waaaay down last year. Q is also one of my favorite players but that was when he was healthy.

Bottom line if Q can be healthy then we got ourself a knick. Until that happens he is sitting next to Jerome James as one of the biggest losers the knicks have.

Q plays hard and wants to win no matter what. I am not going to hate a guy b/c he is injured. All I ask is that you give 110% everytime you walk out on the court. I think Q did that. Now if his back is still messed up and his shot is still off, he needs to play a reduced role, but I still think he can be a leader on this team because of his attitude. We need guys that are not going to back down and who are going to fight every second of every game.

Knicks need guys that will fight and be tough and get mad and yes, kick marbury or anyone elses ass that thinks they are bigger that the team.

Let me tell you something, I can do that. What the knicks need from Q is to hit a open jumpshot! I admire the type of player Q is but he did not produce last year. He still has a chance to prove off of last years cursed season but just like people dig marbs and the rest Q must get the same treatment. Q absolutely sucked last year. You guys are insane if you think he did anything well. He was terrible. Couldn't hit an open jumper to save his life. He definately got his share of open jumpers so he had opportunity.

Enough of this till he can prove it on the court. Just like every other player.
