I would put Roethisberger or Brees at QB. Would take either of those any day over Leinart.

Based on what they did in college? Really? Leinart had the best collegiate career of any QB since Tommy Frazier, IMO. 37-2 record as a starter (if not for an epic performance it would be 38-1), 1 Heisman, 2 titles...

Yeah, Brees and Roethlisberger had better college careers. :rolleyes:

Leinart had a better team surrounding him than Brees or Roethlisberger. I would also take Tim Tebow over Leinart.
 
Seems a little a biased to the last 5 years. I'm surprised Reggie Bush didn't make it. He did win the Heisman, after all.
 
I would put Tebow over Leinert, otherwise it's hard to argue any of those picks.

I like it, and I agree with Champ...I think Tebow should on the QB sport (or Stafford...just kidding) especially with the pattern of "certain" awards going to players with Career Records

It may seem biased, but I honestly think that Calvin very well may the best WR to come out of College or in Football in the last 30 yrs since Jerry Rice (which I'd bet would gladly pass the torch to him)

Fitz is incredible, but I just can't help but think of what Calvin could've done with a QB for 3 yrs.......dear lord, can you say pass the record book please???

Never was a Reggie Bush fan, but he was incredible as well. He's probably a 1st alternate. Moreno was a damn good one too for 2.5 yrs. I'd probably put him about Reggie as RB just because he's a Running Back and Reggie was a Do it all...which could probably go either way now that I'm typing this. I'll go with Bush ... well, because #$%! UGAy, that's why
 
All decade team for Calvin Johnson? Imagine what he could have done with a quarterback....I think Reggie Bush should be there. He was an incredible player in college. That hasn't translated to the pros but he was amazing at USC.

I probably would have gone with Devin Hester for return man. He was electric every time he touched the ball.
 
Tebow by a longshot! UF has a lot of talent but without him they do not win a championship, let alone 2 (perhaps 3 this year).

While Tebow was involved in the 1st NC, he wasn't even starting. Leinhart was a Vince Young reign of terror away from 3 NCs himself. And USC doesn't have tons of more talent than UF. The case for Leinhart is sound.
 
Yeah it's sound....but not concrete

He did run and throw for a TD in the NAt'l Title game as a freshman off the bench

I mean he was situational that year and managed over 800 yds of Offense and 13 TD's...which in my opinion is very impressive

I declare the argument a DRAW
