Brady Quinn....best QB in college football right now.
We can give Henson one more year, if he doesn't do it, Quinn is "the dude" for us.
This guy can carry a team if he has to and now he's under the tutelage of a SB winning offensive coordinator. Also, Quinn's doing it against the absolute toughest schedule in the country.

Well he did have one INT. Oh and if he keeps on playing like he did tonight...he won't need to wait long to hear his name called. I think he stays for his senior year as ND continues to get better and then he is one of the top picks in '07 in all probability.

I would rather have that #83 WR from the fightin' Irish. he is making some good catches. Quinn seems to be on track to be a good pro QB, but I think we will have a better chance of drafting #83(I forget what his name is). What is he? Freshman, sophmore, Junior, or Senior?

I agree this Brady Quinn is very Bledsoesque in his play. He's going to be a stud in the NFL that is for sure

i saw much of the game and the summary i read said zero INTs.
Seen Quinn play 3x this year and he's impressed me every time. Moxie, stands back there in the pocket, always with his eyes downfield, moves just enough to avoid a sack, and he seems to ALWAYS find someone. All of this is hard for me to admit also since I can't stand ND. But Quinn is a flat out stud.
McNeal by comarison is a scrub. Lucky to make an NFL roster as a backup.
Vick looks much better than his older bro as a pocket passer but I'd still be reluctant to mortgage the farm for him. I want to see him against some better competition.
Young, next-level athlete easily but can he use his brain more and not make the dumb TO? Can he win a game by staying in the pocket and making his reads? I'm not sold that he can yet.
Leinert, I think he'll be a very good NFL QB. I don't think he'll be as good as Palmer but he'll be solid. He's smart and just flat out wins.
Jacobs, looked like an all-star against Wisconsin, like a scrub vs Boise. I think he's somewhere in between and he'll be lucky to make an NFL roster as a backup.

Nice to see someone else likes Quinn. I was going to bring it up last week but everyone here knows I'm a Golden Domer Homer. I am still not sold on him for the NFL yet though. Kinda smallish. He'll stay at Notre Dame until he completes, just the kind of guy he is. The more time with Weis the better.
Totally agree with your Vick analysis. Much better "quarterback". I really don't know what all the hype is for Leinert. He really hasn't impressed me especially this year. Spags seems to love him. I just don't see it. I guess that's why I'm typing on a forum and he's typing for a job.

Brady Quinn is definitely looking like the real deal. When he was a freshman I could tell had the goods, the team was not doing well. But he did not start the Season as the Starter that year it was Arnaz Battle, but Battle got hurt or was so ineffective (I cannot remember the specifics,had to be the latter, because I was always saying that Battle needed to be moved to WR) but when Quinn got to play, he showed his stuff and Ty Willingham moved him to starter, I think it was against the Boilermakers his first start, I could be wrong about that though.

The Kid can play, and having Weiss is only making him better, he may win the Heisman, he is moving into the race.

Quinn, is listed as 6ft 4 inches, 232 pounds

Quinn might be a Domer weenie but he isn't smallish.

For the first time this year, the domers actually beat a real team. Granted, USC should beat them by 21 in two weeks.

That has got to be stretching it.....A lot.

Your wrong, that's the game that USC loses.

Look up his profile, he's listed at 6ft4 232, and he does not look small at all.

 

[parchy]

I think Leak will end up being the better NFL QB between he and Quinn...

It's legit. My brother-in-law saw him at a pep rally last year and said he's way bigger than he looks in uniform on TV.

He did have an INT.

Torrescatch, you're thinking of Jeff Samardzija. 6' 5", 215 and has really stepped it up this year. He's one of several ND players that weren't used much or well by the previous regime but are catching people's attention now. Rhema McKnight, Maurice Stovall, Rashon Powers-Neill, Anthony Fasano all fall into that group. Stovall's got almost everything you could want in a reciever, but he's been slow developing and doesn't always seem like he's 100% in the game.

 

[Rack]

How many TDs does Samardzija have already this year? It's got to be around 10 already.

Stovall has the athletic ability, but he drops too many passes and just doesn't seem to have much passion for the game.


Quinn is not small. He looks a little small in uniform, but just look at his arms. The guy's got some guns. He's got a relatively strong arm, good accuracy, moves well in the pocket, and has more then enough smarts for the NFL. I'd take him over almost any other QB in the nation if he came out as a junior. I think Leinart might be the only one I'd take over Quinn. If Quinn stays for his senior year he may be the first QB drafted.

The two last night gave him 8 so far. His line reads like this now: 5 games, 28 catches, 499 yards, 17.8 YPC, 8 TDs.

 

[Rack]

Those numbers are outstanding. Really shows how well Quinn is doing too when you consider the YPCatch. It shows he's not dinking and dunking all the time. He's taking shots downfield and he's completing a high number of those passes.

I wanted to see more of JS last year. He started showing something around midseason, but then he didn't play the last 4 or 5 games.

Quinn's much better at the intermediate routes than last year, and it seems as though he's learning how to lead the receiver more on the shorter routes as well.

 

[Muhast]

To Canadien Cowboy... They beat Michigan who was #4 at the time. and now Purdue. USC struggled early on against oregon a few weeks ago, and could have lost tonight, I think Notre Dame beats them.

But then again I love Notre Dame.

Maurice Stovall.... Not sure what to say, he's an nfl Stud/scrub. You can't knock his talent, and size... but u have to wonder if he'll have character issues,and his ethic.

Brady Quinn should be a #1 overall if he stays till his senior year. I played against Darius Walker in high school, the kid is a stud.

It was Carlisle Holiday that Quinn replaced, not Battle. Battle was already in the pro's when Brady started at ND.

Anyways, I'm an ND fan and love Brady. I've mentioned in other threads that I'd love for us to draft him. He's not going to be leaving ND after this year though. I'm sure he knows he'd be stupid to pass up an extra year of Charlie Weis' tutoledge.

His stats might suffer though. He'll be losing Maurice Stovall, Rhema McKnight (got hurt this year against MSU anyway), Anthony Fasano, Rashon Powers-Neal, Matt Shelton, and 6 Olineman, 4 of which are starters. Basically all that's left of this year's starters are Brady, Walker, and Samardzija. I think Chase Anastacio may be able to step up as a decent WR, and I like what I see out of freshman WR David Grimes.

BTW, whoever said we should take a look at Samrdzija, he's a baseball player as well (atleast he's not a QB)

Maurice Stovall.... Not sure what to say, he's an nfl Stud/scrub. You can't knock his talent, and size... but u have to wonder if he'll have character issues,and his ethic.

I remmeber when ND recruited Stovall and McKnight they were both very highly touted and neither had really done much their entire careers at ND. Doesn't help that they had Carlisle Holiday passing to them for a year and a half, and then a young Brady for a year and half, but... McKnight showed a little bit last year, not much. Anyway, I like what I see out of Stovall this year. He's finally starting to show what the hype was about. He's got the measurables, and I think Weis has played an integral part in righting the work ethic, which is why we're seeing the improvement.
