Still doesn't change the fact that NOONE has graded out as high as Leinart since Peyton. I think that would slightly alter the list of college QBs who are on his level, and make it look quite a bit more appealing.

Whodi, this response coming from you really surprises me.

I didn't let Palmer out. He's right there on the list of Heisman trophy winners, right under Crouch, the lone exception to the rule.

Lest you forget, the year Peyton was drafted, the hype was around one Ryan Leaf, not Peyton.So much was Leaf hyped that the Chargers picked him up with the 2nd overall that year, and it was reported repeatedly, before and after that draft, that many NFL teams had Leaf rated higher than Manning.

The same people who are calling Leinart the "best college QB ever" are the very same people who called USC "the best team ever" and augured a "three-peat", knowing fully well that USC had won on the field a single championship. Now, what does that do to the "best college QB ever" argument? I mean, imagine the "best college team ever" led by "the best college QB ever" being outplayed by one dumbass QB from Texas on the "biggest college game ever"...
