Just out of curiousity--why are people so convinced that Leinart will amount to anything? Seriously (& this has nothing to do with Parcells/Jerry/winning now, etc.), how do you know that Leinart OR Young are any better than Henson, Romo, or possibly the Cowboys picking up someone like Ramsey? Other than that they're "names" who are currently in the news.
Frankly, if they're going to take a risk with a QB, I'd argue for Ramsey (who I still think we will sign, BTW--I predict we sign Ramsey & trade Henson). Maybe even Tim Hasselbeck. Those are guys who may not be sexy (in a non "Brokeback Mountain" kind of way) but have as much potential as Leinart or Young right now. I think Ramsey is a perfect Parcells QB & would do well under him. He's the kind of kid who won't lose games, is tough (he got the s*** beat out of him under Spurrier), smart, & really wants to play. Parcells can do with him what he did with Vinny while at the Jets--doesn't ask him to win games, just not to lose them. Worked out pretty well with the Jets (& has for Roethlisberger too).
Some stat-hound--I'd love to see research on how many QB "names" panned out when they were top-round draft picks (Akili Smith anyone?), as opposed to scrubs like Brady, Delhomme, Warner, Favre, & Matt Hasselbeck who were low-rounders. Other than Big Ben, I'd argue that none of the top rounders from last year or this have played out well (Eli, maybe, but I'm withholding judgement). Rivers hasn't played at all; Alex Smith & Losman are busts, looks like Rodgers may get his chance if Lord Favre can ever make up his mind (but anyone really think he's going to be the savior of that team?). So explain to me why Leinart or Young just HAVE to be drafted if they fall to us?? If they're the BPA, then yes. Otherwise, go with the BPA.
