What makes you think Brady Quinn will be any better in the NFL than Rick Mirer?

Answer 1

Hmm...in Mirer's 12 year career, he has the following: 50 career TD's, 76 career INT's and 11,969 career passing yards.

I think Brady Quinn will beat all of those in four years. The guy was a solid QB before Charlie Weis came to ND so I don't see why he can't be a solid QB in the pro game. He may not be a franchise QB, but he won't be a first round bust....well, unless he's drafted #1, which I don't think will happen (I think that'll be Russell).

Answer 2

Yeah, I'm more concerned about him than most, but Mirer might be a stretch. I think he's a smarter QB that, while he has his weaknesses, can play around them.

I think people give way too much credit to "he's around Weis." Unless Weis will be coaching him and gameplanning for him in the pros, it's not all that important. However, credit to him for being able to learn a complex system.

Simply put: I'm nervous about quarterbacks coming into the league when during every game you hear, "He's an amazing quarterback, except for his accuracy." I think he's better than Mirer, but he's by no means a sure-fire, Peyton Manning/Carson Palmer top guy.

Answer 3

Quinn is an all-around great prospect, the only real thing he has that's negative for him is his short-range accuracy and questions on his cadence. I personally think that if he goes to Detroit, with a talented WR like Roy Williams, then they team does have hope for the future.

It's impossible to believe how he will be like in comparisions to other busts/success, Quinn's been groomed under Charlie Weis, a QB guru, so he does have that advantage.

Answer 4

quinn is weak. cant play with fast defenses... and hes not even in teh NFL yet. he acnt play in big games.

Answer 5

sure cant be any worse
