how in the hell has quinn become joe montana after one good year? i mean if we draft quinn is charlie weiss coming with him to miami?:fire: give me a break! he is good but lets just calm down a little here!
 
Yea, we wouldn't want a good young qb, that would beak a 6 year tradition around here !!!!!!!!!!!
 
Playing in Weis' offense showed this guy's true talent. He reads defenses well, he's very athletic, and he makes all the throws. If he stays another year, there will be no question about who the best QB in college is.

nor would we want ryan leaf!!!!!!
 
Nor will he be a Montana. Sorry guys, but being decent in college does NOT translate into being good in the NFL. In fact, the percentage of really good players in college are not really good in the NFL.
 
I agree..everyones on the bandwagon after one good year....remember Chris Leak?? Everyone round here was on his johnson now look at him.

I think Quinn will be good but I'd like another year of conformation before I really want him.

Quinn impresses me MUCH more than Chris Leak. Plus he has been running an NFL offense, which proves he can handle the complexities. Leak never impressed me and I was never sold on him.
 
I would be apt to say that Quinn is simply a product of the system. But the system he runs requires smarts. Smarts is the one thing a great QB must possess. I would bet he will not be a bust.

As for Joe Montana, he took 3 years to come around. Most QB's do. Quinn may be able to make an immediate splash, but it depends on the situation.

I agree. Its not a bad thing to be called a product of the system that has had a big part in wining 3 out of the last 4 SB's.

I don't know if Quinn can raise his stock. Notre Dame has had a great year, but I don't think that many of the teams on their traditionally brutal schedule will have a down year again. If Young stays, I think it would be a toss-up between the two, right now I think Quinn is better. The Qb who will be eligible to declare for next years draft that I think will have a big season is Brian Brohm, as long as he has no effects from this years season ending injury.
 
Other than Montana and Theisman, I would pass on Notre Dame QB's. They don't seem to fit well in the NFL game. I don't see what the hype over Quinn is all about. :confused:
 
Quinn will stay at Notre Dame. That's not a school a QB with functioning brain cells would leave early, especially when you've got potential for a huge year in 2006. It's the same as the nonsense that Charlie Weis would bolt his alma mater back to the NFL after only one year. I remember writing before he signed the extension that the media members speculating Weis would leave needed to get a clue about Notre Dame, and that you don't screw your alma mater after only one year.

Brady Quinn was a blue chip recruit who started from the middle of his freshman year. I keep reading he is the product of a system. What bunk. He is the product of turning from a sophomore to a junior. That's typically the breakout year for a college football player, given good health and no decline in the program. In college I used to bum around the USC practice field every day and talk to assistant coaches and scouts. I can't count how many times they marvelled at the progression from sophomore to junior, in terms of physical and mental maturity plus a light going on. The term upperclassman is there for a reason.

Quinn has terrific skills that translate perfectly to the pro level.
