This reminds me of a story I read about the owner of the Indianapolis Colts.
He was deciding between drafting Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf.
Remember at the time, Ryan Leaf was really hot stuff, and it was neck and neck with Peyton.
The owner said he literally laid awake at night, thinking Peyton . . . Ryan . . . Peyton . . . Ryan . . . He tried to compare football fundamentals, leadership, and on and on.
He said one night he finally said he decided to go with Manning. He finally settled on the fact that what he wanted in a quarterback was a player of high moral character. That led to a good work ethic and that supported good leadership on the team.
So he drafted Manning and, as we all know, Ryan Leaf crashed and burned and was totally out of football after . . . what, one season. Leaf is probably broke and in rehab even as we speak.
Leinart's future? I dunno.
He's no Dirk or Steve Nash.
