funny. |
What's funny is that you're using games started as a major reason Brady is a better QB than Russell as opposed to how they've played on the field. If you're absolutely hung up on this magical 30 college starts number dicating how good a pro career a QB will have, I could tell you the story of another man named Brady... |

I guess I am the only one who thinks both of them could be pretty good?

I'm just saying theres a strong correlation (obviously there are exceptions) between collegiate starts in first round picks and success stories.
Whats funny is you are ignoring the fact that Brady Quinn did better against ranked competition than Jamarcus, and your also putting all of ND losses on Quinn's shoulders when his defense gave up 40+ points per game in all three losses.

You are correct on both accounts mistake.
The more games a qb starts in college, the better chance they have for NFL success.
Also, Quinn didn't play all of those teams by himself. He had an entire team out their, albeit a bad one.

I'm putting the losses on Quinn? When did I say anything about whether Quinn won or lost? Was it in the sentence where I also said he was inaccurate?
And Quinn had a better TD:INT ratio, but JR had a better QB rating, by quite a bit. I've been a JR > Quinn guy for a good while, and the draft proved that many NFL GM's (all?) are on my side. |

What on earth are you talking about? There was only one GM in the whole draft who had the opportunity to choose between drafting JR and Quinn, and that was Al Davis, who happens to be an idiot.
Now im not going to throw myself into the whole JR VS Quinn debate here, but saying that all NFL GMs agree with you is just wrong.

Lets try to stay on topic. This has turned into a Quinn vs. JR debate. So while perhaps a interesting debate to have lets leave it out of the News Forum. The article was about fans not understanding that Quinn would be charging for the autographs and were upset. IMO it is a chance to take a shot at him. While it may not have been posted that there would be a fee there is nothing wrong with what Quinn did IMO.

Interesting article to support your point THRILLHO. Again it has nothing to do with the News Article being discussed so please either comment on the article or start a Quinn vs. Russell Debate thread in the General Forum not in the News Forum. Thank You.

His starting RB just got cut and may be out of the league. Leinart's RB went 2nd overall. That has to account for something.
I really don't understand these holdouts. They've proved time and again to be nothing but poison for the player. Cedric Benson and Philip Rivers held out and gave another player the chance they needed to take the starting job and run with it. Each lost time as the starter because of it. And for what? How much more money did they get? And how much did they lose on their second contract because they have a reputation and less years starting? Just sign and earn your money on the field. |

Good call. After this happens every year, you'd think the players would stop listening to their agents. Not practicing puts players so far behind, and gives somebody else their job. Not a smart move. |
Yeah the agents are only looking out for their money they don't care about the player getting to practice on time or learning the plays properly.

FYI...and I'll probably get bashed for this...The proceeds to his signing event went to the "Welcome House" charity. It was free admission and anybody that wanted to take a picture with him could for free. This was according to an interview I heard with him on WKNR 850 AM.
Sounds like a positive event to me. I'm glad he is a Cleveland Brown and can't wait to see him on the old gridiron
