Wow, I just typed 2000 word analysis on the passing of Quinn and finheaven erased it...
Ill try and redo it...Im not a talent evaluator...I consider myself an educated football fan...I cant speculate whether Brady Quinn will be a bust in the NFL...but I can tell you my perspective, from a guy who watched Brady Quinn, at the stadium, on more than one occassion, throughout his tenure at Notre Dame...Ive been posting it for months that I thought that Quinn wasnt not a runaway prospect...In my view, at the games I saw, he never seemed to be the better NFL prospect than the QBs he lined up against...I stated for months that I thought with the right tutelege, Drew Stanton could be just as good at the NFL level...
So here we sit, after my proclamations, with the Dolphin front office obviously feeling the same...In retrospect, I believe there was one runaway QB prospect in this draft and it was Russell...I dont believe Quinn was in his category...Did I believe the Dolphins would have drafted Quinn at 9 given the opporturnity?? YES...Im shocked as any other...But I just believe Quinn was not heads and above a better prospect than Stanton, Beck, Edwards, or Kolb...
I could be wrong...But Im not in the profession of judging NFL prospects...I just can give you an honest opinion from a guy who has seen Brady Quinn play live, in the stands, on more than one occassion...I wish him the best in Cleveland I just believe Beck is probably not that far off Quinn...
That said, I really do believe in watching so many Ohio State Games that Ted Ginn Jr will have the impact of Reggie Bush, this year...I really do...He has another gear and in the right offense he can wreak havoc on defenses and special teams across the NFL...
