Matt Leinart And The NFL

It was suggested that I get on the USC bandwagon.

I think from my praise of the Trojans, it is safe to say that I have been a fan for a really long time.

But that is not the point of this post.



My point is to delve into the potential NFL career of Matt Leinart.

First, I am super impressed with the fact that he gave up a huge NFL contract to play one more year in college.

That is more than refreshing.

You simply don't see anyone giving up literally millions of dollars to play for free.

That speaks volumes.

I don't know what that says, but it speaks volumes.

Here's what I think it is, or at least two possibilities.

One, Leinart knows how good he is, and went back to play just for the love of the game. Or...

Two, he is afraid to take the next step.

Of course it could be that he didn't want to play for the horrid 49'ers, and he wanted to take his chances with next years draft.

If he is playing for the love of the game, I am going to be a bigger Leinart fan than I already am.

Leinart came back and will break about every record in college football, hopefully he doesn't see that as his heyday. If he does, he will fail in NFL.

If it was fear that kept him out of the last draft, I'll say this.

Leinart will not be a decent QB in the NFL, he will either be one of the best, or he will fail.

And his psyche will decide that. And he has not fully shown where his head is.

I hope, as a Leinart fan, that he becomes a great NFL QB, but only time will tell.
