Dear reader,

It has been discussed on these message boards of a certain player named Brady Quinn being drafted by the Dolphins. If you dont mind, I would like a say in this. I personally think Brady Quinn is going to be a huge bust in the NFL. If the Dolphins were to draft him, I would NOT be angry, nor would I stop being a fan of the Dolphins. I would, however, expect nothing more than another top 10 draft pick next year as well. I know what you will say. "Quinn is just like Brady. He is a quarterback raised by Charlie Weis and will be a hall of famer. He will lead us to many Super Bowl victories." Thats where you are wrong. To find another Tom Brady is like finding a hay in a needle stack. You are only setting yourself up for pain and misery as another season, another quarterback, and another coach, goes right past us. Again. And again. And again. Every year there is that "Tom Brady". Last year it was Matt Leinart. The year before that, it was Eli Manning. Look at them now. One of them cant get off his back for 2 plays, and the other cant throw an accurate pass for 2 plays. I MAY be wrong, but I have a strong feeling this year will be no different.

1st of all, if Miami has a pick in the top 10 next year -- chances are Brady Quinn wouldn't have anything to do with it. If he is drafted by Miami, he probably won't play a down.

Secondly, unless you were being sarcastic -- I must mention that the saying goes "Finding a needle in a haystack" not "Finding hay in a needle stack"... I think most will still understand.

My opinion, Brady Quinn will be a monster in the NFL. What's being said about him not winning the big games in college is exactly what was said about Peyton... Look how he turned out...

I respect your opinion and all, but nowhere in that mini-rant did you list one reason as to WHY Quinn will be a bust. Personally, I would be ecstatic to get Quinn, while I'm not sure that he will pan out, I'd consider him a fairly safe qb prospect. He has a strong arm, is a very smart decision maker and is a very NFL-ready prospect.

Also, you list Matt Leinart as a bust simply because Arizona has a bad offensive line? First, it was his rookie season so there are some growing pains to be expected, and he actually did have a pretty good year. Second, how is it Leinarts fault the o-line is so bad?
 
Geez, what a pessimist for such a youngster...You should always look on the brighter sides of things. I'm not so sure that Quinn will be 'our savior', should we have the opportunity to draft him, but forgive me for being and optimist and saying that you could be wrong....

At any rate, I'm not one of those who believe that Quinn is the next Brady and neither do I feel that just because he was groomed for a year under Weis he'll be inclined to turn out that way, but the fact is that IF we have the opportunity to chance a player that MAY be a successful QB at this level, we should take it and not look back...

The bolded is exactly what I was going to say. you think he will be a bust because some fans say he will be the next Tom Brady? Great reasoning there buddy. :shakeno:
 
You never really if he will be a next brady. But he does have a strong arm good size and is pretty good at reading offenses thats what we need.I would be excited if he were to fall to us. We need cam to mold us a future phin QB. And he has a fairly good chance of being a good NFL QB in the future will see what happens

Id leave out the respect your opinion part to be honest
 
I think Quinn could be a good QB if put in the right situation. I however hope we don't draft him, as we need to many other things. As far as Leinart and Eli Manning go. I think they are right where they should be. A QB really doesn't start to blossem until his 3rd or 4th year. Not every one has a team around them like Big Ben did 2 seasons ago. I hope we pick up a dominating O- lineman. I miss Richmond Webb, Dan never had to worry about his back.
 
I don't want to draft Quinn, but certainly would understand if we did. You give a simple opinion but nothing to back it up. Have you even seen Brady, Leinart or Manning play? 1 star for sure. Come back when you're ready to back up your opinions with logic, facts, or sound reasoning, not just the opinion of a kid whom I've been watching football since 38 years before you were even born.
 
i dont think i can go another season not knowing if CPEP is ready to play or not, plus, we already know what we have in JOEY. if quinn is there at #9 we draft him nobrainer.
