The important thing with Brady is that he already has starting experience under his belt which will be valuable because despite the new system, there's no substitute for live snaps. He has the size, but he needs to become more consistent. One of the vital things that made Charlie Weis's system run so well in NE was Tom Brady's accuracy. Quinn's accuracy is a legitimate concern - he needs to be better in the department more than any. He did improve his completion percentage last year and reversed his TD/INT ratio which shows me that he has the ability to learn and improve. This will be a defining year for him. I suspect that he will stay the distance at Notre Dame and come out in 2 drafts time. Like a number of QB's in the college ranks, he has the ability to be drafted high but needs to make some pretty major improvements to do so.
