I'm with MajorBludd here. Young just won the National Championship, what's left for him to accomplish? He should go pro right now.

Look at Leinart. He shoulda went pro last year and he woulda been almost a lock to go in the top 2 picks. Not so any more. Top 5 now, but not top 2. I think his decision to play that extra year in college ended up costing him some of the big money he coulda got had he entered the draft last year.

I disagree, stay in college under a great coach, step his passing up a bit more and win the Heisman.

I don't know if any of you guys saw the Heisman presentation but he was pissed that he didn't win and he wants that trophy, yeah he won a national championship but a Heisman trophy is just as big of an accomplishment.

If he stays I don't think there's any question that he'll win the Heisman and he'll probably be the first pick in the draft because he wont this year.

Leinart is still going in the top three, he won 34 straight games,a Heisman trophy and a national championship. That doesn't just go away after one game that he did very good in by the way. 6-5,225 pounds, durable,big arm,ridiculously accurate...that's what coaches and gms are looking at, not one half where he was thrown off by a good pash rush.

Bush,Leinart.....there's your top 2 unless the Texans trade out to take Furgueson but with a new coach coming in I doubt that'll happen.

I really dont think Leinarts going as high as you think, but we'll see what happens.

Saints have the second pick in the draft and assuming Young comes out he and Leinart are the top 2 QBs, they aren't going to take a copy of Brooks(why they're getting rid of him in the first place is a complete and utter fucking mystery) so that leaves Leinart.

Dude Brooks sucks! If I were you I'd be thrilled to be getting rid of him! His inconsistency is a big part of the Saints rough year (That, and that Hurricane Katrina thing taking away all their home games.)

Like I said, I don't agree on Leinart going that early. Alot can happen between now and draft day and who knows if the Saints will even still have #2 pick?

Statistics don't lie, since 2000 he's been one of the top QBs in the league.

As for the draft pick unless you're talking about the Saints trading the pick they'll have it. All the pick positions of the non playoff teams are locked. I heavily doubt they'll trade the pick away and if they don't they're taking a QB.

Never understand how people can look at these bowl games and throw out everything a guys done not to mention he had a good game.

I didn't even watch the Bowl game. I'm just saying his stock would have been higher had he entered the draft year as opposed to this year. I think he woulda got paid better too.

Brooks a top QB? He hasn't even had a decent year since 2003 and even then, I'd put him around the bottom of the Top 10 QBs.

Brooks hasn't ever really looked impressive to me, but after you said he was one of the QBs, I looked up his numbers from the last couple years.... Nope, still not impressive.


2005 - 13 games played, 13 TDs, 17 INTs, 222 yards/game, QB Rating of 70.0

Nothing spectacular there...

2004 - 16 games played, 21 TDs, 16 INTs, 238 yards/game, QB Rating of 79.5

Better than '05, but still pretty run of the mill numbers here...



Leinart or Young would be a step up for sure.

Don't forget their defense that gave up points on 19 straight possessions at one point... pretty bad.

I'm talking about what I've seen him do and what analist say. I keep up with stats but not like they do on the various football shows on ESPN, that's where I heard it.

AUSTIN316426808 01-06-2006 08:19 AM

I don't see how his stock has gone down but whatever, He's had just as good of a season as he did last year, as a matter of fact he's got a better QB rating than he did last year.
