Leinart staying at USC

......Take for example Calculus. To really be able to exploit Calculus, you have to have a total mastery of Algebra, Trig, and other Math fundamentals. If you are pretty good at the lower level stuff, you can usually learn Calculus, but you really can't exploit what it can do. ....

I have to agree with Daseal, he won two national champioships and the heisman trophy (awarded to the "best" college football player in the nation). There is only one direction to go when you are at the top, that is down.

Regarding your Calculus comparison, if you take all the math fundamentals and get an "A+" excellent, top scores in your class, you are wasting your time repeating those courses again. Why take Algebra 2 with trig for a second time if you scored an A+?

guess he didn't want to go to SF

It's interesting you say that because it's possible that that's true. Maybe just like Manning last year told the Chargers trade me, Leinart is thinking "I'd rather stay another year than play for the Niners"

Good points! I agree that he seems ready to move up. Of course he understands the fundamentals. Reinforcing them to a point where they are second nature, where you don't have to think, only react is different. He may not feel that he is at that point yet. And yes, he may be wrong, his accomplishments seem to prove otherwise. I dont think I'd repeat the class either, maybe he feels like he still has some things to learn/prove. I dont know. I just don't think it could hurt him to complete his senior year, especially considering the level of coaching at USC. I bet he consulted some people/coaches that gave him some perspective to make his decision. Maybe it is as simple as he doesn't want to be in SanFran:thumb:

All in all, it's his life and his decesion. If I had the money and time I'd do nothing but take college classes and be the oldest member in the frat by 30 years when all is said and done. However, I'm not a great athlete (Cpayne05 may disagree) so I wouldn't be passing up the millions he is. I think he's fooling himself if he's trying to get away from san fran - they'll have that pick next year too!

That is true. What ever team he goes to is going to suck.
