[...] re comparable to those of RB Mark Ingram from his Heisman Trophy campaign two years ago. Of course, LSU has its Heisman Trophy finalist on the other side of the ball as well in DB Tyrann Mathieu, who blew up in the last two weeks of the year, making play after play defensively and coming up with some massive plays on special teams to help out his team's cause.

All due respect to those two, but Leinart has just started to put up big numbers on a hideous Arizona Cardinals team, and Cutler walks into an impressive situation as his Denver Broncos as the squad is in the playoff hunt.
