it was very good... i'm not a leinart basher... far from it...
nonetheless, i was disturbed by the question... what if leinart & cutler had swapped schools... would cutler have been as good or better?
no doubt leinart would have lost a lot more games...
anyway, i don't think his supporting cast being basically an NFL feeder team like miami is cause of masking marginal skills on his part... he clearly has skills...
but could it be deceptive in sense of making him look great even though he is "only" really, really good?
could scouts be making mistake of attributing too much of USCs historic run to the QB... & not enough to past, present & future first rounders like bush, white, mike williams & jarrett?
for the record, i think he could be great... but acknowledge possibility that he could be "merely" very good... i think he has a relatively high floor & represents low bust potential... imo, one of safer picks in the draft...
