I didn't every hear how many time Russel did it, if he did it. So why is everyone saying he is stronger than Quinn?

sgoldperson- It doesn't matter.... But everytime I read a comments about the two, people always saying he is a stronger... And the only reason they have is cause he is bigger... And when was the last time you seen a pass thrown 80 yards in the game??? It would take a WR 8 seconds to get there..

Quinn is listed at 6'3, 235 lbs. Russell is 6'5, 265. Scouts are referring to the attributes in both physical stature and medical history.
Quinn had his knee drained of fluid at halftime of the USC game. He also has not run or done agility drills for scouts yet. He does have some question marks despite having a cannon arm. Yet he worked out for scouts in a passing drill, making sixty rapid-fire passes and being very accurate. He's knowledgable and knows where to go and makes quick, smart decisions as a play develops.
Russell is actually 10 lbs above his playing weight of 255. While his bench numbers are unavailable, he has shown to also have a extremely impressive arm and a bigger stature, meaning he can throw passes over the line of scrimmage with less chance of being batted down. Also, as he's bigger than Quinn, he might have an advantage of not being pushed around as easily, or taken down. He's also demonstrated better mobility. However, he doesn't compare favorable to Quinn in the intelligence department. Not that he has a low IQ, but he needs to develop his awareness that Quinn developed over four years in college, as he sometimes makes ill-advised throws and is hesitant to throw the ball away.
-As for his numbers....scouting combines, when it comes down to it, mean little. Robert Gallery wowed scouts at his combine, running a sub 5.0- forty yard dash, and benched 225 around 45 times. He is now a human turnstile on the Raiders O-Line. I'm not saying combine numbers are worthless, but they don't account for how well a person can play.
Quinn and Russell both can be successful NFL quarterbacks.

Not sure how many reps that Russell would be able to do but I would say around 30 because Russell is extremely strong for a QB. He's been noted to throw a football between 75-85 yards which is amazing. The link below shows that Russell didn't opt to do that many combine drills but rather work at his pro day down at LSU on March 14. Hope this helps you out.

What does Bench Pressing have to do with the NHL anyway? Espically in the QB form? They THROW the ball. Who can THROW FURTHER is their REAL strength to me. Although the accuracy is as important as length. I mean throwing 80 yards is meaningless if the ball is floating out of bounds in the mean time or if it goes out the back of the endzone. Personally I don't worry about who is stronger if they don't have the accuracy. To me the length you can throw ACCURATELY is actually your strength as a QB.

I am sure Russel could benchpress Quinn 100 times. That guy is huge.

I don't think anyone knows his pench numbers as of lately, but I know he can throw the ball 40yds while sitting on his butt. He can throw it almost 60yds on one knee.
