Quinn....What are you talking about? Quinn has one big game,LEINART OR CARR FOR
2006
No way BP takes a QB this year if Bledsoe stays healthy and keeps lighting it up..
Quinn has been a better QB than Leinert this year and I say that because Leinert has had Bush to bail them out on several occasions. Sure, I think Leinert is a legit #1 pick and can be a franchise QB but I'd take Quinn if I had to pick between the two. Quinn still has another year in school under Weis's tutelage. Quinn is very mobile also and I'm surprised more people around here don't like him considering everyone keeps talking about how we should trade our 22 starters for Vince Young...maybe its because Quinn doesn't play for a Texas team?
Anyway, Quinn has carried that team....Leinert has not carried SC, Bush has. Quinn has amazing pocket presence, hangs in there til the last second and fires rockets; also very accurate. He can also scramble for first downs and make plays when it breaks down. IMO, he's the best QB in college this year but I think Leinert is right there too. Kid from Mich St is pretty impressive also.
I think the ND-SC game was the QB matchup of the year, two technicians doing their thing. Both showed a lot of toughness and both played extremely well.
Back to my first thought though, Bledsoe has at least 2-3 years left after this one and we still owe Henson one more year to see about him. Bledsoe would throw a fit if we drafted someone next draft...."here I go again losing my job to an unproven rookie..." he'd be thinking. I don't think BP would do that to him either.
Honestly looking down our roster versus the college stars and projected 06 draft picks...there isn't a lot out there to use our picks on, esp where we'll probably be drafting... We're pretty full at WR, DL, and RB (RB is the best position in this draft). WR draft is thin anyway, as is QB and LB. We could use an OG, LB, and FS. FS Will Allen was at the top of my list but he's out the rest of the season. I think if there was a year to do it, next year is it to trade down in the first and second and be ready if we need to make a run at Quinn in '07.
