TED GINN BOO AND A YEAH
I wish russel will drop to us
Brady Quinn isn't even in the same catagory as Peyton. Quinn plays a weak as schedule, and didn't beat any of the good team they did manage to play. Peyton placed in the SEC. He won big games, he just didn't beat FLORIDA. I think you may be mentally ill you think Quinn will amount to half as much as Peyton at the NFL level. It's really a moot point anyways because we won't be drafting him.
Jamarcus Russel makes leftwich look fast
If you watched the 2 qbs matched head to head in their bowl game Brady looked lost out there against LSU's defense. Jamarcus Russell looked much better. I wouldn't waste our first round pick on Brady. He isnt worth it. How many big games did he win at Notre Dame ? Don't even say Michigan State because they aren't good enough to be called even a quality win.
thanks for writing that haha, i was about to say something similar but i cant back stuff up with the stats like you... all hail ck! hahaTalk about a short-sighted argument...not something I typically have come to expect out of GBN Report.
They basically took a look at the three most uncompetitive games that Notre Dame played as a team over the last two years, and put the magnifying glass on those three performances.
What would that look like if you did the same for Matt Leinart? Or Jay Cutler? Jamarcus Russell?
Let's take a look at Jamarcus Russell vs. Auburn and Florida in 2006 and Georgia in 2005. These constitute the three most uncompetitive games that LSU has played over the time period.
Russell would be 55 of 95, 617 yards, 1 TD, and 4 INTs.
Gee, this is fun. Gotta love tailor-fitting together players' worst games and then magnifying their significance...

That's not uncommon. A scout should place the highest weight vs a team that would most resemble an NFL defense.
Yes, but you had to go to 2005 to find that 3rd bad game. Obviously, Russell has shot up the board based on his final performance in relation to Quinn's final performance. But, even in his bad games...Russell still has a healthy completion percentage.
Quinn is a victom of higher expectations. The scouts have to project him to the NFL game where players are bigger and faster. To see his completion percentage take that type of dive against bigger, faster teams does send up a red flag. Though their conclusion seems skewed...their is a valid concern buried in there.
...In the case of Quinn in picking out those three games, they are Notre Dame's most uncompetitive games in the last two years...
Uncompetitive? That's an interesting way to put it. Of course, Quinn could have made those games more competitive. But, it's a team sport and uncompetitive doesn't happen in a vacuum.
For whatever reason, Jamarcus Russell appears to be winning the competition. It's probably not just his great arm, or poise in the pocket...it may have something to do with his upside. He's only a junior. And being a year behind Quinn doesn't seem to be a disadvantage.
