I think Leinart will translate well to an NFL offense. He throws on time and to spots. He gets the ball out and quickly reads defenses...and he's accurate.
Young HOLDS THE BALL A LONG TIME. He doesn't throw in rythym and some of his passes can float. Now, I have to admit, I was rather suprised watching the game, then seeing his stats. He completes more than I would have thought and his passing efficiency is great.
Young's response to pressure is to run. It doesn't look like he goes through progressions that much. I think young has tools, but I thinik he's going to need a lot of coaching at the NFL level.
All that being said, Young might succeed quicker than Leinart if they were to get into situations with bad offensive lines. In fact, I think Leinart is the kind of QB that could be ruined if he were thrown into the fire behind a crummy line.
