Who should we draft 1st?

[Mecca]

Look, I'm going to explain this once since Lemonpledge is being very dense at best in this debate..

Palmer went to the NFL, the next 2 QB's at SC were Cassel and Leinart, Cassel was a 4 star recruit and Leinart was a 3 star recruit. Cassel was expected to easily win that job and be the SC starter...he was beaten out and Leinart went on to be a great college QB.

Lemon is acting like Leinart was a known quantity during that competition, he wasn't. It was Cassel's job to lose and he did just that.

And for that Sanchez comment, Sanchez was never expected to beat out Booty as Booty had been starting and was a 5 star recruit, a lot of SC fans thought he should of played but it wasn't an expected conclusion like Cassel coming in after Palmer was.

What happened with Leinart and Cassel would have been like if Booty had gone and Sanchez would have been beaten out by Aaron Corp to start the next year.
