Exactly. Rick Mirer my ***. This kid was a 4 year starter and shattered records before Weis even got there, so he isn;t a product of the system. He did all that with a bad coach, poor media turmoil, and a bad team. Then Weis got there and Quinn got even BETTER. The kid EXCELLS in the same offense Tom Brady has made a dynasty on. The kid was coached by the same guy who brought Brady from 6th round to stardom. He is the most NFL ready QB I've seen lately.
He "chokes" in big games? I guess nobody was watching that USC comeback last ear, which HE led, and it was nothing short of heroic. Notre Dame won that game, the blown call cost them that actual W. The Sugar Bowl? Yea, poor performance, but it was one game. Jamarcus Russell had a "great" performance and it was only ONE game and he skyrocketed. Besides, Quinn's Defense lost that game, they looked like Junior Midget pop warner players out there. Don't fauly Quinn for his defense (or lackthereof). Put these two QBs on equal teams (same players, same plays, facng the same schemes) and I bet Brady blows Russell away.
