I could care less what you see. Ive been reading all this nonsense on the board for hours now, about how good Quinn is, how bad Ginn is, how we should of had Jarrett and Quinn instead of Ginn and Beck, how Beck is to old, etc. But out of ALLLLLLLLLLL those posts, I did not see ONE (1) post explain why. Maybe you could do that for me. Maybe you can explain why Quinn, who some had rated below Beck, was a better choice for us than Ginn? Maybe you can explain why Quinn and Jarrett would be better than Ginn and Beck, when (like I said earlier) some had Beck rated higher than Quinn, and MOST had Ginn rated the second best WR in the draft? Maybe you can explain why it was a reach to take Ginn at 9, when he could of been had in the late teens, but its not a reach to take Quinn, who could of been had late in the first round? And try to answer those with some facts that you have seen, not what you have read/heard from the so called experts out there. :shakeno:
You want an explanation: Quinn put up better numbers against better competition than Beck did. He's been in a pro-style offense with Weis the last 3 years, so he is NFL ready made. Beck played form the shotgun most of the time. I'll give you that he didn't play well in his bowl games...but how many times did Peyton Manning beat Florida?
And Ginn...when you're own coach identifies you as a punt returner instead of a #1 WR, something is wrong. Period. Plus, he's a track star, not a WR. He's gonna bumped at the line, he won't go over the middle. He's the kind of guy you draft in the 2nd round, not at #9. Dwayne Jarrett, meanwhile, has been so clutch in so many games his entire college career. Screw the combine stats, he's not fast, all that junk. In important games all throughout college (all his bowl games, that 4th down play against ND), he's been unguardable.
There's your explanation. I will pull this thread up in 3 years. Believe it.
