disingenuous...

"Matt Leinart, Kyle Boller, J.P. Losman, Akili Smith, Dan McGwire and show-stopper Todd Marinovich..."

I never thought Leinart was that good, I thought he benefitted from playing with a ridiculously talented team. Boller sucked in college and I think he completed less that 50% of his passes, but scouts fell in love because he could throw a ball 60 yards on 1 knee. Losman was one of those out of nowhere workout wonders too. As for a Akili, I don't think any of the dudes that went off to play baseball for a few years then came back to football ever panned out. Dan McGwire got notoriety because of his brother, Marinovich had a fucked up childhood and became a crackhead.
