All the sports announcers say in 2-3 years he'll be one of the best ever.
Side question: does anyone know what he wants to do if he wasn't playing football? Like if he got injured. What's his major?

Don't see it myself. I think the guy is overrated and will be overwhelemed in the NFL. He will be hanging out with Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, David Klinger and the other can't miss quarterbacks watching football on TV.

His two majors are finance and political science. (Jack Kemp, anyone?)
He has decent measurables for the NFL: decent arm strength, good size, good mechanics, quick release. His best asset may be that he's mature in the pocket: he doesn't force throws, he'll take a hit rather than throw an INT, & he can move enough to elude the rush. The most common knock that I've heard about him (on draft geek sites that I visit cuz I'm a draft geek) is that his deep balls tend to float on him. But all-in-all, he's as ready for the NFL as any QB draft prospect in recent memory.
Will he be the best ever? That really may depend on the team with which he plays. IMHO, Tim Couch could have been a very successful QB on another team, but the Browns rushed him out there & the crappy O-line did little to protect him, along with a mediocre rushing game that didn't take the pressure off him. Football is a team sport, as we all know, and any QB that can be labeled a "success" had a team around him that made it possible.

A lot depends on who drafts him.
Lucky for Bardy, JaMarcus Russel will likely go #1 to Oakland, which will be the end of his career. Who's going to mentor poor JaMarcus? Perpetual loser Aaron Brooks?
Of course, Detroit isn't much better. But at least Brady would have Kitna as a teacher, and a wide receiver (Roy Williams) that actually plays football, unlike Randy Moss.
In the long run, I'm afraid Brady Quinn will travel the same path as Joey Harrington. People just can't win in Detroit.

He'll have to go to a system that will allow him to mature. He has shown in college that he has trouble winning big games so he won't have success right away. Especially in Detroit. But you never can tell. No one knew who Tom Brady was and he won right away. It's highly unlikely though with Quinn since the team that will probably draft him will be the Lions and they are just plain horrible. Not so much the players but the organization. I don't see how they can keep losing with all the talent they have. No wonder Barry Sander retired, he must have known that all along.

Claussen is on the right of his game now, so that's all downhill from right here. Cleveland will throw him into the commencing lineup too quickly and he gets his brains (what little he has) beat out. and it will serve the boastful little jerk precise. Quinn is yet another overhyped/undertalented Notre Dame QB who will sit down at the back of Orton for a pair of years, then carry a clipboard whilst Tebow takes over. he will assemble an excellent paycheck for the subsequent 8-10 years and then retire after achieving no longer something of word interior the league. it is his destiny.

Quinn is going to flop in the draft. He has proven time and time again that he cannot step up his performance in the big games when he has to. He will (and should) be drafted behing Quaterbacks like JeMarcus Russel, Troy Smith, and Crhis Leak. I see Quinn going late first to early third round. Not many people want or need another Aaron Brooks type of quaterback.

I think that Brady Quinn will end up in Detroit. He has the potential to be a great QB with mentors like Jon Kitna, and Mike Martz if he stays. He has a great receiving core too. He is majoring in political science and finance.

Quinn has learned a pro-style offense under former NFL offensive coordinator Weis and he should transition nicely into the pro game.

No, I really don't. He couldn't beat USC. He couldn't win a Bowl game. He barely won games against the top 10 teams. He beat the service academies and that is no judge against the NFL.

Give him a season or two as a back-up and I think he'll be fine. I think if he is thrown out there too soon, he'll tank. He's not ready to lead and NFL team.
