Leinart is the real deal....he is a very smart QB who makes great decisions and delivers the long ball with uncanny accuracy...the guy has only 1 overtime loss in two years as a starter. The kid is humble and loves going to school and wants to come back for his senior year to enjoy college and try to extend his record to another perfect season with a team that has 16 starters returning including most of his receivers and both running backs.
Geez....what's not to like? It's refreashing....Everyone picked Oklahoma and even before the game were talking about their superior receivers and athletes and picking OK to win because USC wouldn't be able to stop them and didn't have the number of stars that OK had.
So don't give me that system crap...Carson Palmer is the real deal in the NFL and is proving it....Kerry Collins is the real deal....We chose one of their OL this year.
Leinart is NOT extremely mobile, but he's more mobile than Palmer ever was, and he's a freakin' winner. Last night he didn't even have one of his better games as he missed some wide open receivers, not uncommon among QB's who look up and see a guy wide open...however, on 3rd down, he was very accurate and put the ball in perfect spots....he never missed a receiver deep and audibled to some great calls.
Is he better than McNabb, Culpepper, Palmer, Vick......no. He'd have to prove that at the next level, but he's a very good QB who's been very well coached...he'll be successful at the next level because he has a good arm, a good brain, and he's a winner.
