Tio said:I don't think hes the best option. With bledsoe already here...I would kinda like a guy like Marcus Vick or Vince Young. They are both talented runners, Vick faster, Young stronger and tougher. They get a bad rap for throwing the ball, but young hasn't had a game so far where I thought he seriously struggled passing. I saw him torch Ohio State's D through the air after getting stopped through the ground. I've only seen vick through Highlights, but as a passer, he is out of his older brother's league.
I know he threw an int...I couldn't watch the game. His mechanics leave much to be desired, but he is clutch, tough, and makes plays. Although Mack Brown is a fine recruiter, he isn't exactly known for getting the most out of his players.mickgreen58 said:I think he struggled against Mizzou yesterday throwing the ball. But mechanics can be taught, the playmaking ability he has cannot.

Yeah, it's hard to miss them when they're on TV every week. I am not a Notre Dame fan.BHendri5 said:Have you caught any of the Notre Dame games? If so what is your opinion on Brady Quinn?
That sounds pretty much like Carson Palmer's progression... just a year earlier. I'd love to have him learning behind Bledsoe for a couple of years.Hostile said:Yeah, it's hard to miss them when they're on TV every week. I am not a Notre Dame fan.
I like this kid. A lot.
He has the size in a QB that is just about perfect. 6'4" 230 pounds.
He is producing. Notre Dame is the spotlight so he is doing it in pressure situations. That's big.
Through his 1st 2 years he had 26 TDs and 25 INTs. For many people that would be a red flag. They'd fail to notice he started 9 games as a freshman for one of the biggest programs in the US.
You expect a kid who can do that to explode his Junior year. Well, he's done that. 13 TDs to 3 INTs and is completing around 65% of his passes.
If he enters the Draft I expect him to be a top 5 pick. He's that good.
Nah, we already got Henson doing that. Use the Draft for other needs.Danny White said:That sounds pretty much like Carson Palmer's progression... just a year earlier. I'd love to have him learning behind Bledsoe for a couple of years.
If he continues with this type of production, I think he will be a top 5 pick when you look at people like Rivers and Harrington going in the top 5.Gordon said:I'm a Notre Dame fan, and I dont think Quinn will ever be more than a top 15 pick. He doesn't really have the arm strength. Not that he has a bad arm, just doesn't have the arm strength of a top 5 pick. He's solid everywhere else though. He's got the size, decent speed, very strong, and he's showing smarts and leadership in his maturity. Who knows though, scouts looked past Philip Rivers' delivery and made him a top 5 pick.
He won't be coming out this year anyway. He'd be a fool to pass up an extra year with Charlie Weis.
