When was the last time a highly touted college quarterback performed as expected?
Just thinking about Linehart (sp) USC, Quin (ND), Campbell (AU), and the big baby that went to the Chargers (I forgot his name. Leach???).
Ryan Leaf... But it's hard NOT to take a QB. The most important player on the field... as one of the ESPN dudes said.. "maybe not the BEST player on the field... but definitely the most important". The paradox is that no matter how talented the drafted QB is, the team he is going to probably sucks because they had nobody to protect the poor sap that was there before. Even Peyton looked at the sky a lot his rookie season. What cracks me up is the coin these guys get... But I guess if you are a Lions fan, the zillion pasetas they paid Matthew Stafford was well worth it.. he did bring the losing streak to an end..
