Exactly! Always too much hype with ND quarterbacks... from Rick Mirer to Ron Powlus.....although Mirer did great in those days of college ball, played in alot of great games and did very well....:sidelol: I've seen the clips many times but never with the tunes.
Look, I think Quinn is a good prospect but many are comparing the guy to Brady. A lot of the so called experts are basing their evaluations strictly on the guy's stats- which are out of this world- and appear to have failed in actually watching game tape. Even his defenders cannot argue with the fact that Quinn has failed against top notch competiton. And at times, he has failed miserably.
I believe that Quinn will follow in the very long line of much balleyhooed QBs that didn't come close to meeting expectations.

But with Weis as his coach for two years....maybe this time will be different for the balleyhooed ND QB?

How many excuses are we going to use for brady quinn.
bad oline.. average run game. bad defense blah blah blah
I like quinn. I think he has all the tools necessary to possilby be a good QB in the nfl. However, I am not totally sold on taking him with our ninth pick.
Fact of the matter is, he DOES beat basement teams, while struggling against higher tiered teams. And please, it wasn't just one bad game in a career. That is a sorry exaggeration.
We have glaring holes and we could get a qb in the 2-3 rounds. I still think next years qb's in the draft will be better than this years. Except for whoever gets russell.
I'm still not sure we shouldn't just trade down and get more picks. than we could almost certainly get a qb and fill more holes.
FTR... if we do take quinn I will support him. But if we take him with our first, we better have cut harrington before his bonus is due.
