He is current hot topic of the NFL draft, shooting so far up the charts after strong performance at the combine that some analysts now "consider him the top qb available-ahead of even MattLeinart and Vince Young".
Leinart was overrated anyway. He was a mediocre quarterback in a good system.
I do not necessarily agree with that statement. He was in a good system with talent around him, but he was a winner. He did things to make his team win. Can't forget Notre Dame or Arizona State.
Leinert is extremely accurate, alot more accurate than Cutler. Cutler could be the guy thats the bust of the draft to be honest. If Leinert can prove he has enough arm strength, he will probably be a pretty good quarterback.
Everyone questioned Brady's arm strength...he's only got 3 rings.
Also, speaking of accuracy, I think about 95% of us watched the USC/ND game this past season and saw the throw he made to Dwayne Jarrett in double coverage to get them down towards the goalline. Charlie Weis himself said that the defense they had called was purposefully designed to stop that pattern unless the QB threw a perfect ball touch & timing-wise in a particular spot...and Leinart hit it in the 4th quarter with the game on the line.
Plus look at the success of Carson Palmer--everyone's wanting the next Carson, and they're looking for Leinart to be it. AND--don't fool yourself if you don't think Norm Chow is pushing to get Leinart back under him with the Titans.
As for Cutler--you can throw the ball as hard as anyone, but if you don't put it in the right spots, that's the difference between an interception and a touchdown. I think Cutler, Leinart, & Young will all have varying degrees of success, but Leinart will probably be the best of the 3 once all is said and done, IMO.
With all the hype that he's getting it wouldn't suprise me if he did bust....but Cutler isn't going to bust I mean come on the man done good playing for Vanderbuilt [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
