Forget Young vs. Vick, Young vs. Smith, Young vs. Cunningham, Young vs. Peete, Young vs. World...

Matt Leinart isn't a can't miss NFL prospect, he doesn't have the natural talent of Carson Palmer or anything like that.

He's going to need players around him to help him win games but he's smart and gets the ball into the hands of his playmakers. Personally I think he's got alot of the same skills Trent Green does and would fit our current offense really well, but he won't make it till our pick.

I know I was being a smartass......I know my view on Young isn't one that's widely shared on here.

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.

4th and 1 with the national championship on the line and he was on the bench.

That's all you need to know about Reggie Bush.

I don't think it was Bush's decision, but I wasn't there.

He wasn't in as many plays this game. I've seen a lot of their games, and he wasn't in there that much at all. Maybe cramps or something. Fouts and Jackson said some players were tightening up, etc.

Who knows though. You'd think he would've played more...

No, he wasn't in because he's not the better back. I'd take his backup over Bush in the draft without question.

Besides, Reggie's been teabagged so much by all these media types, he's gonna be chafed for years, which should hamper his NFL performance as well.

I really do not expect either to be steller in the NFL. I would expect Leinert to be a starter for a few years and settle solidly into a longtime #2 QB. Young is part of the current fad to be fascinated with tremendously athletic but immature passing QBs. He is adequate in college with simple and single reads, I doubt he will be so productive with the more complex coverages of the NFL.

No guy touches my teabags.
