Leinart certainly did not look "great"; if he would have been great, teams would be knocking down Arizona's door to trade for him, but there hasn't been a peep and no one even talks about him now.
The only "flawed logic" here is you thinking a USC QB has to work as hard and has as much pressure to perform as a QB from any random BCS program. Matt Ryan faced tons of adversity in his college career at BC, and didn't miss a beat in his transition to the NFL; the same can be said for Jay Cutler, Big Ben, McNabb, etc.
Will Sanchez overcome this? I have no idea - no one does until we see how he performs. But don't sit here and act like the QBs with great physical tools that played in pro schemes are automatic locks to have success in the NFL. There are too many variables involved.

What adversity did McNabb or Rothlisberger face? And please tell us, what
exactly has Jay Cutler won?
McNabb was a stud as Syracuse and Rothlisberger led his team to a bowl victory his senior season.
Please explain how not facing "adversity" affected the pro careers of the QB's I mentioned above: Brady, Manning, Marino, Elway, Montana, Young and Aikman.
I'll be waiting with baited breath.
