TAK said:He said he is a winner and that he is a Tom Brady type lol. I don't think he will have a very good career to be honest. Most first round QBs don't because they can't handle being on a losing team.
I won't hold my breath. You may be right and I may just be flat out wrong but given the history of the draft and all the next big things most don't pan out. See Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Michael Vick(most overrated player ever), Alex Smith(he isn't looked at as a bust yet but give it two years. If you watched any of his games you would realize it now). For the tons of first rounders who don't pan out there ARE the few that do. Carson Palmer, Peyton Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger. I just think Leinart will be a bust but if he isn't then go him.Boomer said:Tak, you couldn't be more wrong about Leinart. He's a franchise passer, with just beautiful touch and he IS a winner. He has a Brady-like arm. He's going to be a very fine NFL QB.

Here are the reasons I think here will be a bust:Juan Cribbs said:yes but you think leinart will be a bust based on nothing. you just chose to think he'll be a bust.
TAK said:3. I don't really think he is a very good leader like Vince young is.
Based on his performance in the Rose Bowl. Had he stepped up and been a leader they would have won. Instead he relied on Bush and White to do all the work.SpeedRush99 said:Based on what?!?!

Yes this is based on the game that he gave up millions of dollars and going to the NFL as a number one pick for right after he won the Heisman for. Any game that you postpone/give up that much for should be a win especially if you are the second coming of Tom Brady or whatever everyone thinks he is.SpeedRush99 said:So your basing that statement on one game, which the situation called for passing, not running. He did not rely on Bush and White, who by the way was playing very well.
Vertical Limit said:LMAO. Vince Young was a one man show, and Matt Leinart was a pocket passer making everyone around him better.
Matt Leinart is far a better leader than Vince Young.
Someone give this guy the USC vs Notre Dame video.
he was 38-2 and as a starter. he's stepped up before. they threw the ball more in the 2nd half than in the 1st. bush didn't do much work at all in the 2nd half.TAK said:Based on his performance in the Rose Bowl.
