Brady Quinn looking very uncomfterble

[locked&loaded]

has been missing some wide open wr's. also keeping an eye on calvin johnson #21 george tech, but everyone knows about him. and im watching for victor abiamri #95 for Notre dame. id put him at OLb he looks like a player.

[bbgun]

He's clearly nervous. Overthrowing everyone.

[locked&loaded]

He's clearly nervous. Overthrowing everyone.

i know. i like quarter backs that have that calm cool play type, much like tom brady. brady is never shaken thats why he is so good.

[kiheikiwi]

Watching this game, looks like some real good WR for the draft next year!

[Cochese]

Heisman contender my ***. Another overrated over hyped ND team, big surprise.

[SA_Gunslinger]

i can't stand ND.

go GT!!!

[Garland powerplay]

who's winning?

[SA_Gunslinger]

who's winning?



7-0 GT 2nd qtr

[Cochese]

who's winning?
Tech up 7-0. ND offense has looked terrible, Quinn has been awful.

[Cochese]

10-0 Tech. Time for the media darling to actually perform like everyone claims he can.

[Crown Royal]

Watching this game, looks like some real good WR for the draft next year!

The Kiwi speaks truth. These WRs can flat out play.

The GT back isn't half bad, either.:eek:

[TruBlueCowboy]

Crazy catch there. Luck of the irish. ;)

[NIBGoldenchild]

Quinn is starting to play a little better, but it's obvious all the talk of him being the first pick in the next draft is simply a dream. He can't handle pressure. The Irish OL isn't consistent yet, and he was staring at the pass rush from the very first drive.

[Crown Royal]

They just mentioned Anthony Fasano...

...after their current TE made a fantastic catch.

In defense of the ND offense - that GT front, especially those linebackers, are stout. They fly.

Anytime ND gets a decent QB, the media overhypes him to like proportions. I saw this last year, Brady Quinn isnt that good. I wish Musberger would stop acting like he is dating him. Call him QUINN, the only Brady I know is Tom and he is a multiple SB champ.

[TruBlueCowboy]

Wow! Wasn't expecting that! College football rocks!

[Cochese]

My god, I wish ABC would shut the hell up about Brady Quinn. This isnt even the Notre dame Broadcasting Network that I am watching.

[TruBlueCowboy]

Charlie Weis is the man.

What we expected. We'll come back.

[Cochese]

Over-rated. Typical Notre Dame nonsense.

[Garland powerplay]

Cowboys may have the ND trifecta of Jones ,Fasano, & Quinn for the future. He's probably going too high next year in draft for Cowboys acquiring him.

Brady Quinn= Most overrated player in the country. Like I said, whenever ND gets even a respectable QB the media machine goes into over drive to proclaim him gods gift to football and the no brainer heisman choice.

[TruBlueCowboy]

Over-rated. Typical Notre Dame nonsense.

I can't disagree with ND being overrated, year after year after year after year after.......... you get the picture. ;)

But thought Weis looked in control. Seemed nonchalant about the whole ordeal.

[Glenn Carano]

10-0 Tech. Time for the media darling to actually perform like everyone claims he can.

What?

292 comp -450 att 3919 yards 32 TD 7 Int

in 2005 as a junior wasn't good enough for you?

He performed quite well, thank you.

So if he throws for 3 TD's in the second half, then what? He did it against a poor G Tech team? You're a joke.

[Cochese]

Get a life.

Wow, good one. I might go cry. Go build your shrine to Brady Quinn and quit bothering me, kid.

I am sure they dont have these things call bars with giant TV's for you to watch your team at. Give me a break, stop trying to make Notre Dames over rankings some kind of personal issue.

did brady quinn have sex with your wife or something? jeez you hate him..

You know you CAN go out to watch your team at a bar?

What i meant was, stop trying to make this personal. So I think your team is horribly overrated, deal with it and stop trying to insult me.

[Cochese]

You got a screw loose there, dude.
There you go again. Grow up, stop making this personal.

I take it personal when all you've done this thread was bash, bash, bash. Bash ND and Quinn for no reason. So they get publicity, just deal with it and quit your whining.

I wouldnt because what someone says about my team on the internet doesnt bother me.

Musberger is in love with the entire Notre Dame team. Who the hell is Darius? Oh, you mean Darius Walker, then why dont you frickin say it.

[Garland powerplay]

I want to change my user name to Golden Homer.

[Cochese]

Weak, weak call.

[kiheikiwi]

Well, this thread just went to hell. Am enjoying the game though, good to see football being played, and I like that GT WR!!!(Johnson)?

[Crown Royal]

Wow. I like Quinn, but it would help anyone's stats to be able to throw to Smardja (spelling, I know)

[DallasCowboysRule!]

Huge 4th down for ND here.

[BlueStar22]

Weis shows the coconuts! Damn, it would be nice he could be the next Boys coach.

[Cochese]

Laura Quinn 23/49 No touchdowns against an unranked team. Get off his nuts, please.

I had more fun watching this game than any other today, just because it was two quality teams going after it and playing well.

dude, you've made your point. you don't like Quinn. give it a rest.

What did he do today to show he is anywhere near Heisman worthy?

[BlueStar22]

exactly, but of course Mr. Sunshine here expects Brady Quinn to just light up the scoreboard. Like GT's defense in the first half wasn't all over the guy.

[bbgun]

Reminds me a little of Eli Manning.

[BlueStar22]

What did he do today to show he is anywhere near Heisman worthy?
You don't think GT's defense in the first half had anything to do with that? You watch the Boys every week and should know a QB can't do anything if he's running for his life.

[Cochese]

exactly, but of course Mr. Sunshine here expects Brady Quinn to just light up the scoreboard. Like GT's defense in the first half wasn't all over the guy.

Seems like every other team in the top 5 had no problems with the unranked minnows they played against.

[Crown Royal]

Heisman players, when necessary, should grow rockets out of their rears and fly above pass rushers. Jeeze, didn't you know that?

Just like someone said earlier in this thread - GT didn't become an unranked minnow until they lost, eh?

GT is a good team - that was a stout defensive front he faced.

[Glenn Carano]

Who got the W?

I know your upset that Brady and ND got the win, but come on. ND didn't schedule a cupcake at home like OSU and UT. Ga Tech in Atlanta is a little different than N. Illinois in Columbus and N. Texas in Austin. At least Ga Tech is knocking on the Top 25.

[garrett316]

23-38 for 246 yards. I'd be pretty "comfortable" with those numbers from the qb.

[Crown Royal]

Typical ND apologizing. Tech wont finish the season ranked, but since they played hard I guess it counts for something.

Yes...actually...that counts for a lot. Ranked or unranked, when you play well, that means something.

Their defense was very good tonight. By your own logic, if he beats up on 'scrubs', and if they were 'scrubs', Quinn would have thrown 11y billion TDs. But he didn't - because the GT defense is good.

[Glenn Carano]

Heisman QB's throw touchdowns against unranked opposition, but since this is Notre Dame we are talking about, I guess everyone will let it slide and trust the mighty medias word.

You make no sense. I told you he threw for 32 TD's last year and you said it was against terrible teams. So what if he threw for 5 TD's today, you'd be singing the same tune, it was against a bad team. Keeping all your bases covered, I see.

If he would have thrown ONE touchdown tonight, it would have meant something. Darius Walker was the star of this game, by far and I am fine with that. I like him, he is a fantastic player. Quinn showed he is no where near Heisman material today.

The media are calling Quinn the best player in college football and a #1 heisman candidate, obviously tonight should prove them wrong. The first half he was BAD, and his longest play of the day was the result of great catch from Smardzija. Send him to New York allready.:lmao2:

I've never seen a "hater" so upset over a ND win on a message board, how sad. A win is a win is a win and Brady is 1-0 this year. Keep the W's coming, put up numbers like 2005 and he walks away with the Heisman. Accept it.

Tell me football genius, what could Quinn have done in the first half when his offensive line played like our line here in Dallas? Like the ol' saying goes, can't make chicken salad out of.........

If he wants numbers like 2005 he will have to whip on the unrankeds to pad his stats in the same manner he did last year.

- Quinn threw for 256 yards, completed 59% of his passes, and finished the game with a 114 rating

- He rushed for a TD

- He committed no turnovers despite heavy pressure

- On two different occassions, he made huge throws to Samardzija and McKnight when backed up deep

- He converted a huge 4th and 1 to ice the game

Just terrible against a Tech D that finished 22nd in the nation in total defense last year and a team who opened the 2005 season with an upset win at Auburn.

Might as well just give him the Heisman then. If scoring no TD's was the cheif criteria for it, Quinn would be the undisputed leader.

[Cochese]

They'll lose at least 2 games this year, probably 3, and will still go to a BCS game because the media has the school's

The fact that the media loves ND is plainly obvious. It pains me to see so many idiots fall for it.

And how will you lose 5 games this year? The same way A&M lost 6 games in '05 and 5 games in '04 and 8 games in '03 and 6 in '02. Are you serious?

The Domers played exactly 4 teams worth a damn last year and lost to 3 of them. Outstanding :rolleyes:

And A&M has the easiest schedule in the Big XII, maybe of any major BCS conference team. We won't lose 5 games, let alone 6.

And I'm glad McNeal got cut, he was never going to get a real shot in Cincy (at QB or WR). Hopefully a front office with some sense will pick him up and use him to his abilities

WHOA!!

[ccb04]

Against Tennessee, who finished the 2005 season 7th in the nation in total defense ... Quinn threw for 295 yards, completed 60% of his passes, and had 3 TD's and 0 Int's.

Against USC, Quinn threw for 264 yards ... passed for 1 TD ... and ran for 1 TD.

At Michigan, he completed 63.3% of his passes and threw 2 TD's with 0 Int's.

Against Ohio St., he threw for 286 yards and completed 64.4% of his passes with no turnovers despite heavy pressure and 5 sacks. Samardzija also dropped a 50 yard bomb early in the game, which would have put Quinn at 336 yards passing. Hardly terrible vs. a defense that had nearly half it's starters taken in the 1st 3 rounds of the NFL draft.

Notre Dame lost 3 games last year ... and Quinn certainly wasn't the problem. In the Ohio St. and Michigan St. games, ND's 97th ranked pass defense was largely to blame. And in the USC game, it was again that 97th ranked pass defense that gave up the big play ... in addition to the infamous Bush push.

[Hostile]

Yeah, he is a QB ... and he threw for 256 yards and 0 Int's ... finishing the game with 114 rating.

And yes, he rushed for a TD ... which means he did infact "score" a TD. And he'll throw plenty more this year than he'll rush for. :laugh2:He won on the road against a good team. isn't that the idea?

Ain't that the truth Hostile and GT was talked up buy the the college guys saying they have a really good defense and was going to be a tough game on the road for ND.

By Quinn not turning the ball over in a hostile environment against a very good defense is bad how. Plus no QB is great every game the guy has talent and I think he will do well on the next level.

[Glenn Carano]

Dont even talk about another teams schedule. How was playing 3 winning teams last year? Your pathetic team milked it for all it was worth.

I never said ND had the toughest schedule in 2005 or 2006, my response was to that clown whose team beat up on The Citadel in their opener and he has the nerve to say "scoreboard".

And we'll see how far that "pathetic" team goes this year.

Do you have a team or do you just root against others for fun? You've got issues.

If he would have thrown ONE touchdown tonight, it would have meant something. Darius Walker was the star of this game, by far and I am fine with that. I like him, he is a fantastic player. Quinn showed he is no where near Heisman material today.

The media are calling Quinn the best player in college football and a #1 heisman candidate, obviously tonight should prove them wrong. The first half he was BAD, and his longest play of the day was the result of great catch from Smardzija. Send him to New York allready.:lmao2:

If he wants numbers like 2005 he will have to whip on the unrankeds to pad his stats in the same manner he did last year.

Notre Dame is so horribly overrated it makes me sick. Georgia Tech played one of their worst games the last two years and STILL nearly beat the Irish

I guess it's alot easier to win knowing that the refs will bail you out of any and every predicament

Might as well just give him the Heisman then. If scoring no TD's was the cheif criteria for it, Quinn would be the undisputed leader.

The fact that the media loves ND is plainly obvious. It pains me to see so many idiots fall for it.

Did you miss the part that said he was a Quarterback?

The same idiots that say Quinn did well today because of his miraculous QB draw are the same idiots that were on his nuts after the USC game last year.

Notre Dame is guaranteed at least 3 calls going its way when it plays at home. Hell, they even get the calls on the road.

Their schedule is so "brutal" yet how many of the teams they play will be top 15 at the end of the season? Maybe Michigan, USC and maybe Penn State. No one else.

Then again someone has to play the academies and Stanford.

OK, I'm going to take the bait and try to have a serious discussion about this. Not sure you can do it with the obvious hatred you have towards ND, but I'll give it a try. I don't know who said ND had the toughest schedule in the country last year or this year, but I agree, it's not.

Half of ND's schedule is pretty much the same from year to year. They always play Michigan, Michigan St., Purdue, USC, Navy and Stanford. They don't always play Air Force and Army and in the past few years they've sprinkled in Pittsburgh(who they always used to play), Tennessee, Penn St., Washington, BYU, Syracuse, Florida St, used to play Boston College (and usually get beat)always, they played Maryland, Washington St., West Virginia, even Nebraska. My point being is that these scheules are completed and negotiated on years before they actually play. They have teams already tenatively scheduled out as far as 2016. Who knows if any of those programs will be any good? Who knows if Michigan or Michigan St. are going to be having good years? Who knew Tennessee was not going to be that good the last few years? When ND scheduled them their program was top 5 just about every year, but by the time the games actually rolled around, Tennessee was having a few down years. Back in the late 80's to late 90's USC was not very good and I know ND beat them a ton. USC was a weak link on the schedule back then, eventhough it was a rivalry game. Now USC is good again and that's a very tough game and Davie and Willingham got blown out by USC on more than one occasion. Back when Holtz was there they scheduled Miami and Florida St. in some great games. We do play some bad teams every year, but we don't schedule North Texas or The Citadel and so on. I do agree with you that this years schedule is not that tough. Their first 4 games I think were/are tough games with @ Ga Tech, Penn St., Michigan and @ Michigan St. After that I don't see many close games at all until the last game at USC. Very difficult for any team to run the table and ND would have to get some breaks to accomplish that feat.

[DallasCowboysRule!]

Notre Dame is overrated. They struggled with an unranked Georgia Tech team. The problem is that they have the media in their back pocket. Their scheduke thi year is just as much fluff as last year. USC and Michigan being their toughest games this year. Navy, Army, Air Force, Stanford, North Carolina, Purdue? Can we fluff this schedule anymore?

Plus, the media is in love with the Irish. Even if they lose to Mich this weekend they won't drop more than a few ranks. In fact, they'll probably still be ranked ahead of Michigan. Notre Dame got this #2 ranking because they are Notre Dame not because they are the #2 team in the nation.

So who has a tough schedule?

USC playing the PAC-10? 'nuff said. PAC-10 is awful.

Ohio St. playing out of conference games against N. Illinois, Cincinnati and Bowling Green, along with Big 10 chumps like Northwestern, Illinois and Indiana? Give me a break.

Texas playing Rice, North Texas and Sam Houston St., Iowa St.Oklahoma St., Baylor and so on. Whatever.

Those programs, however, do not cry about how tough their schedule is AND they are required to play conference games. ND refuses to join a conference as they don't want to have to share their tv money.

When does ND cry about their schedule? They choose who they play. Give me an example of who ND should play?

DomerFan is ALWAYS crying about the schedule, their academics etc.

They should join a real conference instead of that independent crap. No more academies, no more Stanford, BYU, Rutgers, etc

Are you born and raised in Canada?

If ND really wanted an easier schedule they could have it. Your whole conference argument doesn't work. For example if we joined the Big 10, we'd play Michigan(which we did this year), Penn St.(which we did this year), Michigan St.(which we will play this year), Purdue(which we will play this year) and we'd maybe have to play these other tough:rolleyes: games against Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota. At least the academies put up a fight and actually have decent programs now. Don't forget we'd still play USC. Would ND's schedule be that much more tougher in the Big 10?

Tell Texas to stop playing N. Texas, Rice and Sam Houston St. and the crap teams of the Big XII.

Tell Ohio St. to stop playing N. Illinois, Cincinnati and Bowling Green and the bottom feeders of the Big 10.

Tell Michigan to stop playing C. Michigan and Ball St and the bottom feeders of the Big 10.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Typical DomerFan, try to deflect the argument away from the fluff schedule you play year in year out.

[Displaced Cowboy]

The book on beating Quinn has been written, and i'm just pissed that as a Penn State fan/season ticket holder our coaches were too dumb to follow it.

Ohio State, Georgia Tech and now Michigan.

You pressure Quinn and he is VERY mediocre.

[Dallas]

Im just glad the Irish lost. I was rolling.

#2? Are you freaking KIDDING? That was a terrible performance. What a job Michigan did on those domers. Awesome!


I sleep better knowing the Irish aren't going to go to far this year. Quinn for Heisman? HA !!

AD - all day baby. :laugh2:


D

[Cochese]

Allright Golden Homers, time for me to tell you how RIGHT I was. Anytime ND gets anything resembling a quarterback, the media builds him up to being some sort of Heisman candidate, you cant argue this. Quinn blew against Michigan, his mistakes lead DIRECTLY to 14 points, and indirectly to more than that. ND is overrated, Quinn isnt that good. He is Ron Powlus junior if I have ever seen one, and it feels so good to say I TOLD YOU SO.

Notre Dame national championship? HILARIOUS!

Quinn as a Heisman contender? A complete joke.

Bring on the excuses for this absolute sodomizing Michigan brought on to Notre Dame, my only regret is that the Michigan players diddnt plant their flag at the 50 the way the Michigan State players did last year.


The lasting image of Notre Dame's 2006 season is going to be that 'pass' that slipped out of Quinns hands and was returned for the touchdown.

[Displaced Cowboy]

Penn St. tried and couldn't do it. Now just go beat Ohio St and Michigan.

they didn't come close to trying to put pressure on quinn.

they rushed 3 all day long.

I'm still here. Nothing I can say about that game. We got crushed in every phase and Quinn was awful. Its just one game though and they'll bounce back. Tough game this week @ Michigan St. Now lets wait a little longer and see if Quinn turns into Powlus or Montana or neither. I'd bet on him being better than Powlus. Also, ND will run the table.

[Dallas]

Minus that loss last weekend? Some table you got there.

Three letters for you...U...S..C. They arent going to be putting up with any crap from the domers, before you start thinking about running the table, you should be concerned about the team that planted their flag at the Notre Dame 50 yard line last year.

With their schedule that is unlikely to happen.

Their schedule isn't that tough besides two games. @ MSU this week and @ USC the last game of the season. Other than that it's not that bad. They could stumble in one of those other games, but I doubt it.

Did you read where I said they had a tough game this week @ MSU? MSU has had their number for awhile now. And don't think the ND players and coaches don't remember that special act of class and sportsmanship by the MSU players. Payback in East Lansing this week?

Mario Manningham for the Heisman?!

He's very talented but at this point I'd say no. I'm a Michigan fan but I don't see it happening this year. Next year possibly.

Sorry they don't play a top program every week. Who does? Starting off with Ga Tech, Penn St, Michigan and Michigan St. is a tough way to start off a season. I apologize on behalf of ND for not playing Akron, The Citadel, N. Texas, N. Illinois, Cincinnati, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Ball St., just about everybody on West Virgina's schedule, Rice, Sam Houston, Buffalo, C. Florida the first month of the season like all the other top programs in college football.

Notre Dame just schedules their fluff later in the season.

Gtech...unranked. MSU...unranked. Please stop trying to act like they are 'tough' opponets for a team that was ranked as #2.

[Cochese]

Most teams schedule weaker opponets as warm up games, ND has Navy, NC, Air Force and Army during game weeks 8-11. WHAT A JOKE.

Never said ND had a tough schedule this season, not once. Who does? Answer that. I know there are plenty of teams that have a tougher schedule than ND, but tell me who they are?

The Pac-10 schedule? weak. Big 10? weak. Big East? weak. Big XII? weak. ACC? weak. SEC isn't bad, but there are plenty of cupcakes on that schedule. Who do you propose ND play?

Who's your team? Whoever is playing ND?

So the guys on the service academies aren't real men? That's low.

Real men? Vanderbilt, C. Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, Ball St., Indiana, we'll see how good Wisconsin and Michigan St, are. Penn St.? ND and OSU already punked them. You guys play two tough games, ND and OSU a rivalry game with MSU and that's about it.

R U watching this WVU-ECU game? Michigan may leapfrog WVU in polls.

[Glenn Carano]

My team is Michigan,

How come you never mentioned that before? You bashed ND the first two weeks of the season and never mentioned your team was Michigan. You were afraid that ND was going to beat them, so you never brought it up. :laugh1: That's weak.

I lived in Ann Arbor for 6 years and grew to hate Michigan even more than I did before I moved there.

They have to schedule that way because most teams are playing conference games that late in the season. Being an independent, they have to schedule the tough opponents who are in conferences early.
