Good points. Agreed. I'm not buying the Leinart hype.
Folks can say all day about him wanting to get the third championship; he knew he'd be holding a clipboard for the next three years. This year, he got to attend one class, hang out with the SC fawning wonders, and do generally, anything he wanted.
He was the quintessential BMOC. :)

By staying a year he was able to have a great time and get laid by every hot girl at USC - which there are plenty of those.
He did cost himself a few million dollars though as he would have certainly been the #1 pick in last year's draft. He also took a huge risk - one injury would have cost him his career.
If a player can go in the top 10, he should always leave for the NFL. The chance of injury in football is too great.
