Just another reason why Bayless is an idiot....

How does he have a job. He is too lazy to conider even an entire round of a draft. He is too lazy to consider potential trades. He just shows up to make a prediction that he feels will be outrageous enough to get his name some pub. Pathertic.

Drew Brees down?
Anybody that takes Cutler over Leinart is risking their job and probably any shot at a job in the future in the NFL. Its just not a good bet. If Cutler does exceed Leinart, everybody forgets what a risk it was, but if Leinart lights it up, _everybody_ knows who passed on him.

Unless his arm falls off between now and the draft, can't see how it makes any sense to sign him and then use the no 2 pick in the draft on a QB.

In terms of a safe pick, Leinart is the best I've seen in awhile. I'm not really enamored with his skills but he is an extremely smart player and knows how to play in a system. I imagine Chow knows that and thinks he's the perfect guy for his spread offense. The Titans could also take Young since he is good at making quick decisions and getting the ball to open guys, not to mention his elusiveness running the ball. I think he needs a lot of work on running a complex offense, but given a couple years learning on the bench he'll be a major force.

How exactly is it Ryan Leaf/Manning?1. Manning was picked first.
2. Who is the ##### out of Leinart/Cutler?
Anybody who takes Leinert with the express reason of not wanting to lose their job isn't doing their job and deserves to be fired. If a GM believes Cutler is the better prospect and they have any pride, they would take him ahead of Leinert, regardless of what the prognosticators think.
Easier said than done. Leinert is one of the 'safer' picks in recent memory. There are no guarantees but this guy has the pedigree to be a quality franchise type QB that will solidify the position for years. Maybe not a world beater, but definately a solid pick. Cutler is a project no matter how you look at it. He had better be the next Roethlisberger, because if he's not you will be run out of town. If Leinert is a bust, well it wont look good on a resume, but it will be chalked up to 'one of those things'. Would you bet your nice cushy career as an NFL GM on Cutler being a star? Not me. Lay up. Its not just good for you its the right thing for the franchise. You dont bet the ponies with the company money, even if you think you have a sure thing.

If I was an owner I wouldn't touch Leinart because of his 36 million demand! Young in the right offense will be OK because of his heart. Another Michael Vick?
Cutler might just be the safest pick of the qb's his year! He has proved it every work out! I don't see why you think your risking your job picking him? Get about the same talent for possibly half the price!

Manning/Leinart = safe pick and Leaf/Cutler = high risk/high reward.Not really accurate because Leaf had an attitude problem that Cutler doesn't seem to have, but I can understand the comparison in terms of passing on the safe pick for a risky one. No one wants to be the idiot to passed on the obvious choice (Leinart) if he turns out to be a Pro Bowl player and Cutler doesn't. Now if Cutler really does go on to be the next Favre then it does look bad.

Are we sure that wasn't Matt Millen disguised as Skippy? No, never mind, Millen would have had the lions trading up to #1 and taking another WR, sorry.

While I understand your comparisons, I think this is a bit of a stretch. I don't think Leinart will be anything like Manning. Manning is a once in a lifetime QB who fit perfectly into the offense scheme they had in place and has taken it to new levels of success. Comparing any future rookie QB to Manning is nearly laughable, because not only does that QB have to be mature beyond his years, mentally unsurpassed and dedication to the Nth degree, but the offensive system has to be a perfect fit for his skill set as well(ALSO see Marino, Dan; Montana, Joe) This put the percentages below 1, that Leinart is Manning. Now to say Cutler is Leaf is just as big of a reach to me. There is ONLY one Ryan Leaf, need I say more?
