Leinart and Mean

Who: Matt Leinart

Position: Quarterback

Team: Arizona Cardinals

Draft down-low: He is the prototypical golden boy quarterback. In four years at the University of South Carolina, he went 37-2. Sure, they were stacked, but the man only lost two games! Chosen 10th overall by the perennially horrid Arizona Cardinals, Leinart was supposed to sit, watch, and learn behind Kurt Warner. That lasted four games. He's started in the last two, and so far, he's been better than advertised throwing for 539 yards and four touchdowns. He even almost derailed the undefeated Chicago Bears in last week's Monday Night Football, but his team — and particularly his horrible offensive line — choked hard.

Football forecasting: So far, it's been two starts, and two losses in the NFL, but you can already see it. He's got the arm, that leadership poise and the smarts. Leinart is going to be special in this league for a long time. Let's just hope the Cards get the O-line fixed soon.

Ball handling: He's dated Paris Hilton, and has generally lived something of a charmed life. However, the NFL isn't going to be as easy as his dates!
