Ok, lets get something straight. I want Joe Thomas, but I have and open mind. So here is the question:

Is Brady Quinn really THAT good? Is he a Carson Palmer, Manning, Brady type, or is he a lot of hype?

How big is he and what are his physical strengths like?

Can he run? Does he have a rocket arm?

Because, if we can get a tackle in free agency, a linebacker in free agency, and maybe another reciever to calm the Calvin Johnson people, maybe a young QB is the right move, but I know nothing about Quinn, someone enlighten me. I'm gonna go hit Google now.

Brady Quinn QB 6'4 231 Notre Dame

By: Robert Davis
Quinn became a starter during his true freshman season, and showed flashes of brilliance despite being held back by Tyrone Willingham’s offense. As a freshman, he threw for 1,831 yards, but had a completion percentage just over 47% and had a terrible TD/INT ratio of 9/15. He took that experience and improved as a sophomore, completing 54.1% of his passes, while throwing for 2,586 yards, and 17 touchdowns to 10 interceptions. Once Charlie Weis took over, Quinn’s brilliance emerged on a more consistent basis. He threw for a school record 3,633 yards and 32 touchdowns, while completing 64.9% of his passes with just seven interceptions.
Brady Quinn is the prototypical pocket passer. He has great size, along with the strength and willingness to sit in the pocket and deliver a strike. He has very good arm strength, and can make all the throws on the field. His accuracy has continued to improve every year, and he is on target on everything under 20 yards. Quinn is also a good athlete for a pocket passer, and he knows how to elude the rush and get the throw off. He has no problems producing under pressure, and his touchdown in the final two minutes of the USC game had Notre Dame in position to win, but the star studded USC offense stole the victory away. Picking something to criticize Quinn for is tough. He was very inconsistent his first two years, but once he was under the tutelage of Weis, he put it all together. He can try to force the ball into coverage still, and his mechanics break down at times, but those are things that could easily be corrected with another year under Weis.
 
We won't be drafting a QB in round one, unless we pick past #20, and Brohm or Quinn fall that far. Even then I thinkw e would look at other positions.
 
we aren't drafting a QB. We need to draft linemen, DE, or a corner.
 
I am a big Notre Dame fan and I've watched a lot of his games over the past few years. He is incredibly strong and has a great arm. I would be happy if the Dolphins got him, although that's a lot of high picks to use in a few years on quarterbacks (#2 in 2005, #2 in 2006, #1 in 2007). If the Dolphins were picking high enough to actually get him, you'd have to think their best interest would be to trade down and get more picks (although they didn't get any good offers to do that in the 2005 draft).
 
As much as it sounds great to draft a young QB, there is no way saban would be able to justify it. If he did, he would be drafting a qb in the 1st (quinn), 2nd (traded for Daunte) and possibly 5th (harringtons pick can mature to that level if he receives i believe 30-35% of the snaps this yr). Also, I remember once hearing that Saban has the Parcels mentality where they dont like to take Offensive lineman with 1st rd picks, so it is safe to say that Saban will be taking a skill player with our top choice...whether it be WR (Calvin Johnson) or DE/OLB (Gaines Adams)
 
2nd (traded for Daunte)

that was last years, we have our 2nd round pick this year. but i do agree that we wont be drafting a QB.
 
I think you have to take the best player available at the time, if Brady Q is there when they pick they should take him. Say they don't draft Brady and find out that DC is just not the same QB as he once was, where does that leave us, back to square 1.
 
i would love to finally draft a QB in the first round, maybe we can finally end this streak of bad QB's. I doubt that it happens though. It's our best chance to get a good QB in the draft and we'll screw it up.

I don't really care if we need to use another high draft pick. I would rather use it on a QB and finally have the problem out of the way then wait another 1 ,2, 3 more years and still not a have a good QB.

unless Harrington can show that he can do the job, then I think we should draft a QB. and Cpep is NOT the answer. I don't care about his mobility. even if he solves the mobility problem, that doesn't fix the fact that he is a moron and can't make a decision.
 
As long as we draft one of the players in UF Fin Kat's sig, I'll be happy. I'd rather take Thomas first, assuming DC is healthy, but if he isn't, how you can pass on Brady Quinn is beyond me.
 
I am a big fan of Quinn and would have no problem if we drafted him in the first. I think he'll be long gone by the time we pick, which I think will be somewhere between 4 and 8. Personally, I think Saban will pick Laron Landry in the first.
 
i cn him play too....pretty darn good....but i dont think we need him...r cap would b all qbs....no way....i would not mind if they got him(if we have the no.one pick u know that will happen) but not the area we need to fix(just yet)
