On the bright side, Leinart is now at Arizona and not San Francisco, so he won't ever feel any pressure with unfair and way-too-early comparisons to Joe Montana or Steve Young. Hell, he won't even be compared to Jeff Garcia.
Who are the greatest QBs in modern Cardinals history? Jake Plummer and Neil Lomax?

He got his degree last year. That's why he was only taking ballroom dancing this year... to stay eligible to play football.

What a dumbass. Three groups of three words for Leinhart: "Alex [censored]ing Smith" "Number One Pick" "San Francisco 49ers".

If he had graduated last year, he would've needed to take graduate courses to stay eligible for football. The ballroom dancing completed his degree.

I find it hard to believe the 9ers were such a lock to take Leinart considering his injuries. He had elbow tendinitis and a sports hernia. After deciding to stay, he had surgery in January for the tendinitis. He wasn't able to start throwing until pretty late in the summer.
So, if he had gone pro he would've had two choices:
1. Have surgery in January and not be able to throw at any workouts.
2. Postpone surgery until April, workout with tendinitis and a sports hernia, and miss all of training camp and most of the season.
Given those two options, I think people are overstating Leinart's '05 draft prospects. He could've slid just like (or worse than) Aaron Rodgers (who everyone thought might be the #1 pick leading up to the draft).
Even Reggie Bush, the closest thing to a lock to go #1, didn't go #1. The difference is, the QB position is drafted more on a need basis than any other position, so QBs have a tendency to slide farther.

I have a pretty good feeling that if he had a do-over, knowing SC would lose and knowing he'd be a 10 instead of a one, he be eating sushi at
Fishermans Wharf right now. |

So in other words, he'd completed his degree requirements already and managed to stay an extra year without taking graduate classes--unless you are saying balloom dancing was required for graduation? I seem to remember OSU getting an SI *asterisk* for Andy Katzenmoyer taking a similarly-challenging course load in 1998. |
