Joe Theesman must think he's Joan Rivers.

Actually it was 22 teams since we passed on him too.

It sure says alot about how the Cowboys brass feel about Romo ... that we passed on Quinn, doesn't it ?

I stand corrected. And yes, I agree. It's a ringing endorsement for the kid. If he needed anymore confidence (maybe after the Seattle game he needed a boost), he just got it.

Teams passing on someone isn't always indicative of how good the player is. I'd wager that some of the teams who passed on Ware and Merriman wish they hadn't. Or a more obvious example, the Colston kid that NO drafted last year. Sometimes, every single team is just wrong about a player.

I completely agree. In hinsight alot of players would go in the top 10 who didn't go until day 2. And I sort of agree with what you are saying. BUT, you would think that of all positions, QB being so difficult to fill, SOMEONE would have taken a shot at the kid earlier. Miami isn't really sure who's their QB, and didn't feel Brady was good enough to be their guy. They took Ginn instead.

It's gotta say something when 22 teams decide that a guy isn't worth taking, even though he plays a position that is so very hard to fill. And don't give me any Tom Brady examples here, I'm talking about a bona-fide "sure" top 10 guy as many had projected.

I think the Media wanted Brady Quinn to be a top 10 guy, but it just wasn't realistic.

Who cares whether his enemble was in high fashion???

I'm much more concerned with the way professionals speak and comport themselves. And I think Quinn did a commendable job. The people I have a problem with are the ones who make their living speaking on television and sound like a bunch of inept morons. I don't expect anyone to speak like he's reading a research paper, but some of these athletes in the media are really bad.

His suit was horrible, made him look like a pimp. As for his hair, it was fine. The gum was pretty childish.

Actually I thought the hair was not good- the suit was fine if you are looking at trying to fit in with NORMAL people.
By the way: 22 teams did not think Marino was worth taking.
Yet Jeff George, Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, David Klingler all went higher.

How about the fact that Quinn handled himself with grace and dignity even when the special green room provided to him by the Commish (drawing high praise from ESPN) was invaded by ESPN's Suzy Kolber, who asked him asinine questions like "What's your game plan?"

Brady should have said, "Um, if I score in here, I might go for two."
