Does anyone else think Quinn is highly overrated?

[jobberone]

No, Quinn is not overrated.

Good way to point out how a person could convince themselves they're an imaginary internet draft scout who has actually broken down gametape of these players ather than just watching a few Youtube clips or blindly regurgitating what they read on a bio somewhere on 40-year-old-virgin-in-his-mothers-basement-wannabe-internet-scout.com.

Amazing how a player can rack up 19 tackles for losses (first in the ACC) as a true sophomore when he supposedly can't get off blocks against the run.

wow all those tackles for a loss, why don't we take Bowers at 9. Again lost in the numbers. Watch a game please and not you tube highlight and reading draft mags and scouting reports.

I just don't think QUinn is a 3-4 OLB. I wathced him play in 09, did you? Calm down, just because I don't like the man your in love with no reason to go on the attack. I watched UNC every game the past two years. I like Quinn, I never said he will be a bust, all I said is that he is only a 4-3 DE. I don't see him as a 3-4 OLB and surely not a 3-4 SOLB.

 

[supercowboy8]

Heck no. Quinn is a stud and another blah year from Spencer and we'll be wishing we drafted him.

I hope he doesn't go to Washington.

why, so we can have another WOLB.

People just don't understand what a SOLB role is. WOLB and SOLB are two different positions.

I would rather have quinton coples next year in the draft. He is a true 3-4 SOLB.

I think the guy will be a beast. Has the lower the shoulder, contort the body ability that Ware has at full speed. If the Cowboys went defense first round, he'd be my pick.

 

[DFWJC]

The guy reminds me (at least somewhat) of Bruce Smith.
Same exact size, similar shape and movement....everything.

Of course, Bruce Smith was one of the very best ever based on many other unmeasurable qualities.

I don't love him in the run game. I think he could be a heck of a Weak Side OLB in a 34 if you use him that way. I think he could have trouble as a Strong Side OLB. He doesn't do well when he get engaged against the Run. He definitely needs to improve on that if he's going to be succesful as a Strong Side 34 OLB. JMO

I agree 100%

no not at all. Smith played most of his career as a DE in a 3-4. No way Quinn could be a 3-4 DE.

Butch Davis (Quinn's coach at UNC) was on the NFLNW last night.
He says that Quinn reminds him most of Michael Strahan ability wise.
He would have to gain 10 lbs to be Strahan's size, but the guy has zero body fat so i bet he could do that in his sleep.

As for Bruce Smith...Quinn is his exact same size.

Strahan I can see, strickley a 4-3 DE, which is what I think Quinn is.

I'm glad you pointed this out. I had no idea what you thought of him until this post.

No, Quinn is a quality pass rusher, dare I say a rare one.

If you put him at 4-3 end and just expect him to rush the passer, you would have a hard time calling him overrated. Even Butch Davis has remarked that he is not exactly a great 3-4 prospect.

If he is overrated, it is by pundits who believe he is a great fit for practically any system--particularly after taking a year off of football.

You must have a particularly fuzzy memory of Bruce Smith then.

I did not mention him as a player (noticed you cut that part out).

I was talking about his size (exactly 6'4 265) , shape (both pretty well built) and movement (both fluid and fast around the corner)....and even basically said that means very little unless you can play.

Instincts, heart, etc are obviously what separate HOFers from the guys who just look the part.

I remember Bruce Smith very well.

wow all those tackles for a loss, why don't we take Bowers at 9. Again lost in the numbers.

a) If not for knee issues, I would have no problem taking Bowers at #9. He's a Top 3 pick talent.

b) In the case those "numbers" were representations of what happened on the football field. You said he can't get off blocks against the run. I find it incredible that a guy who can't get off blocks in the running game leads his conference in tackles for loss at 20 years old.

Then again, you claim you've broken down all his game tape over the last two years, so I'll bow to your unique expertise. :laugh1: :laugh1:
