Leinart was drafted for a different offense. Dennis Green ran the WCO, which is perfectly suited for Leinart. Haley runs a "long-ball" offense. Leinart will be a successful NFL QB. Keep in mind, he's playing behind a likely Hall of Famer. He's not playing behind Jon Kitna.

Wrong.
Troy Aikman is one of the most accurate passers in NFL AND he's a Hall of Famer. How many of their defensive players that you claim are so great are in the Hall? Aikman, Irvin and Smith are in the Hall and were part of an elite offense.

Wrong.
Dan Marino, once again, is in the Hall of Fame. The reason that Marino never won a Super Bowl is simple. First, he faced Joe Montana and the loaded SF 49ers in 1984. Secondly, they could never find a running back (therefore a running game) to compliment their passing game. Hence, no Super Bowl. Their defenses were at times very good to great.

NEVER pass on the best available athlete out of "fear". That's just plain stupid, especially when there's a possible Franchise Quarterback sitting there when you choose.

Wrong.
The Chiefs have THE MOST talent-depleted roster in the NFL. Outside of Left Tackle, the Chiefs should take the best available athlete with the third overall pick. PERIOD.

Wrong.
If the Chiefs chose another Left Tackle, they'd have over
$75 million dollars wrapped up in the Left Tackle position. That's complete lunacy.

Wrong.
The Colts won their Championship due to Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Joseph Addai and Marvin Harrison. Their defense stunk but played well enough for them not to lose. Their defense still stinks, which is why they went out of the playoffs in round one.

The Giants beat the Patriots because Eli Manning (their FRANCHISE QB) played an absolutely flawless game. Period. The Patriots win that game 8 times out of 10. The Giants had a great defense that year but that couldn't save them in 2008 because the offense, mainly Manning, reverted.
