So who would you draft with the number two pick? Remember, you're the Saints and no one likes your franchise. And you have no face of the franchise.
-
I cannot stress enough how good of a game this was. I'm VERA glad it loved up to all the hype.
-
Absolutely incredible game!
-
If someone wants to get fired, sure.
-
Pete Carroll deserves idiot of the year... Wow.
-
UNBELIEVABLE.
-
My heart is racing. I like USC. They have been great, but this game is one for the ages!
-
This is not even close.
-
Carroll is letting the dogs out. Awesome aggression.
-
Here we go!

That throw to Jarrett was an example of why Leinart will be a top pick. Young couldn't make that throw without it getting batted down.
-
Young always throws out while they're on the ground. No such thing as YAC.
-
Another incredible run.
-
Vinny just threw the ol' Craig Krenzel Special.
-
He has been awesome tonight. Reggie Bush on the night: 18 offensive plays from scrimmage: 147 yards. Not great certainly, but very good.
-
Great throw by Leinart. Again.
-
Is that the first penalty all night?
-
This has been a great, albeit sloppy game.
-
Not even close to a catch.

And he's surrounded by a ridiculous amount of talent. I'd bet that if you give him an average college back and just above average recievers, you'd see a big difference in the results. Reggie Bush is the catalyst in this offense, not Leinart. Bush is an incredible player, but I guarantee you that having to respect the pass as they do makes Bush better as well. Leinart has what pro teams look at. You simply cannot deny that. He has the arm for the NFL. He has the great decision making. That instinct comes with having to make some very difficult throws for the last few years. He has enough mobility to escape pressure, not great mobility, but enough. And he's very accurate. Bear in mind, guys like Danny Wuerrfel, Chris Weinke, Ken Dorsey were putting up gaudy stats with incredible talent around them, but there's things that scouts can see in their play that separate them from the rest of the field.

Incredible burst.
-
White is rumbling his way into the first round tonight.
-
Leinart runs a pro style offense for Pete Carroll. This isn't some goofy college scheme like the spread offense where he's putting up gaudy numbers. He has a pro arm as well. He has very good accuracy (as shown on a drive a while back where he's just putting it in perfect spots when Texas DB's are all over the play).
-
Do you think he's an amazing athlete or an amazing QB? first and foremost, an athlete. and he certainly hasn't looked bad as a QB tonight, but he hasn't had to make a lot of challenging throws. He's a passing liability if you put him in a situation (the NFL) where defenses are fast, very instinctive, and tremendous at reads on underthrown balls. Young is no doubt an amazing athlete and a beast in the open field with the ball and the ability to make people miss. But he is going to be drafted high without the ability to actually throw the ball. If a coach can correct that and make him have some zip on that ball, he'll be very dangerous, but until then, my skepticism of him in the pros is very high.
-
He reminds me of Randle-El except bigger and stronger. And he can throw the ball. Are we watching the same player here? His throws are either gonna get picked in the NFL or get all his receivers killed.
