Let's say, hypothetically, that Peyton got drafted #2 by the Chargers and Ryan Leaf went to the Colts #1.  Would Peyton be out of the league by now, and Ryan Leaf would be the Hall of Famer?

Second, who is to say that Ryan Leaf wouldn't have been successful in a different situation...

Ryan Leaf was an emotional implosion waiting to happen...and it would have happened "anywhere."

It is easy to say that because of the cascade of events that happened in Ryan Leafs life that we were able to see unfold before us.  But emotions can be controled and often it is the people around you and the circumstances that help you control them.

We have no way of knowing.  What I do know is that the Charges sucked plenty after he was gone.

It was easy to say that about two weeks into his rookie season, when reports started surfacing about Ryan snapping at reporters and teammates. I didn't need to watch his painkiller addiction and amateur crime spree adventures to tell me what I already knew.

Over simplified.  It didn't happen till after he started having trouble with turnovers if my memory serves me correct.  You know how the media can be.

It's like Schodinger's cat. We won't know if the cat's alive or dead until we open the box, so in theory the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. Likewise the draft was both a good one and a bad one at the same time.

How's that?

We have a non-profit client named "Save the Chimps"...and every time one of my coworkers says their name, I add "...for dessert!"

On a draft note though, I'd give it a solid C+...
