no worries dude -
Besides, it's brutally clear that, at least in part, this decision WAS about money. Many sources have claimed that Leinart was worried when the 'other' junior QBs, many of whom show similar (or superior) NFL skill sets, announced for the draft (Rodgers, Smith, etc) - with them gone, next year's draft should be nearly devoid of QBs.
Contrary to what this thread seems to think, Leinart was never really slotted in the number 1 pick . . . he was going to have to do the private workout circuit, to answer questions about arm strength, athleticism, and ability to throw a spiral (esp on the run). Going back is really a brilliant decision for the guy - he gets to be a kid, he avoids his professional competition, and he can work on footwork and getting stronger.
Smart kid, that's for damn sure - I'm glad he listened to the right people.
