| The intelligence test they use for college athletes isn't really all that good of an indicator. Brett Favre and Dan Marino each scored in the low 20s on the test. Guess what? One's in the Hall, and the other is a lock for it. On the flip side, a highly regarded QB named Cade Mcown who scored in the high 30s to 40s range. BUST.
As for the weird throwing mechanics, Philip Rivers has the weirdest throw I've ever seen. 4th overall pick two years ago. Starter now.
Whoever said a mobile QB is the way to go should get there facts straight. Look at the teams with mobile QBs this year. How many made the playoffs? I'll give you two at most(Pitt and Den). But both QBs are pocket passer first, runners second. Running QBs in this league do not win unless they can throw. the thing about runners like Young, they lack a pocket pressence. Once they feel the pressure, their first instinct is to run. In the NFL, that's going to lead to a lot of hits (EX: J.P. of the Bills, Mike Vick).
Leinhart is clearly the top QB, and he will succeed. Jay Cutler goes next. Young goes third. |
