I don't think so.

Vick won't have things handed to him, ala a big ass contract, like Leaf did.

He will have to earn his spot to even be put on the team, much less the field.

The next Ryan Leaf MIGHT be at UCLA right now with Drew Olson.

When you say the next Ryan Leaf is at UCLA, do you mean that Drew Olson has the possibility to be as much of a head case as Leaf was?

Or that Olson is as over-rated as Leaf was?

For those not familiar with the disaster.

QB Ryan Leaf was drafted by San Diego.
Leaf was the second pick overall in the 1998 draft and got the richest contract in club history, including an $11.25 million signing bonus. But his rookie season was a disaster on and off the field. He was benched halfway through the season because of poor play on the field and boorish behavior off it.

But don't you think he'll alienate the fans and flame out as fast as Leaf did?

The next Ryan Leaf will be Matt Lienart. Bet on it.
