What Drop?

| | Comments (1) |

Those around the USC football program are a little astonished at reports quarterback Matt Leinart lost as much as $40 million by not turning pro a year ago.
What a lot of people forget is Leinart needed elbow surgery and also needed treatment for a sports hernia, that made workouts for pro teams almost impossible last spring.
``He wasn't going to be the first guy drafted,'' a USC source told me. ``He didn't fall. It's just the media that thinks now he would be the first guy. That simply wasn't the case.''

Of course Leinart would have been the first pick in the draft last year. SF needed a quarterback and Leinart was miles ahead of Alex Smith. Sounds to me like Pete Carroll and his lackeys are trying to convince us that they didn't give Leinart awful in advice in counseling him to retrun to USC.
