Brady Quinn is in the news all the time. His stock has gone up and it has come down. All this according to the talking heads and guys like me and you. We read, we analyze and we discuss the situation like we have a pipeline to the GM's and owners in the NFL.

Quinn has been labeled a bust in college for not winning the "Big" Game. Nobody knows what a team will get with a draft pick. Quinn will be the Next Montana if given the right opportunity.
He is the poster boy for Madison Avenue and advertisers can't wait to get a hold of the NFL version of Brady Quinn. Some others can't wait to or would like to get a hold of Brady, but that is a completely different matter and shouldn't be viewed by young eyes.
Quinn has been rumored to be a Viking, a Dolphin, a Brown and maybe a Raider or a Lion. Recently, he has been rumored to land with Da Bears.

Can a guy get any more respect? Weis is pushing hard to get Quinn selected high in the draft. Just like Fasano going to the Cowboys in last years draft has gotten the TE position at ND exposure, Quinn going early is a great boost for Notre Dame and the program.

"I like this guy [Russell] at LSU," he said. "I think he's got rare talent throwing the football. His size, his mobility and his quick arm remind me of Ben Roethlisberger. The other guy [Brady] is a Type A guy, he's a winner. He's the hardest-working guy maybe in this draft. He does sit-ups, I think, at halftime. The guy's working around the clock. He's got a burning desire to be the best." John Gruden (Tampa Tribune)

Before you read the next sentence...

Have a Seat..

Russell (6-foot-6, 265 pounds) is bigger than Quinn (6-4, 232) and is one of the best pure passers in college history.

Huh? What the %#&*K? Who said that? Pure passer means "strong arm"? C'mon!

It is from an Article on Detroit News.com. It isn't in Quotes, so Kiffin probably did not say it, but somebody did.

Remember Rush Limbaughs trouble?

Picking up Russell to the level of Demi-God is a problem for a lot of people. Only time will tell if Rush was right or if he was wrong. Everyone has Russell as the number one pick in the draft, or at least the number one QB picked. This is all based on a win over the 80+ ranked defense of the Fightin Irish in the Sugar Bowl. If you want to base a persons next ten years on one game, at least make it against a formiddable opponent.

Could he be more open. I think Richardson thought it was a race to the endzone...

  • Web Results 1-10 of 47,200. Jamarcus

  • Web Results 1-10 of 368,800. Brady

If you want to name a Demi God, Brady is your man. Let's wait until the NFL Season kicks off and see who is where and what they are doing.

The Quinn-Go-Round


Could stop in the Windy City...

NFL Central reports last week that Lance Briggs was being shopped and shopped aggressively and it looks like the Bears have found a suitor. If, as reported, the Bears get the Redskins' sixth pick in exchange for Briggs and their 31st pick, then the Bears have put themselves squarely in the mix for either Calvin Johnson or Brady Quinn. The Bears also have the 37th and 63rd picks in the second round. This gives them enough firepower to move into the top 3 picks if they find a willing trade partner in the top 3. This seems like a great move for the Bears, but some in Washington Don't like this at all.

Going to the Bears would be a good, if not perfect situation for Brady Quinn. Rex Grossman can play for a year as Brady learns the system, And if he needs to step into the starting role, at least he is behind a pretty good O Line. The way the Bears have drafted in the past, it is time for a QB to come into the mix.

With Quinn you really know what you are getting. A smart, hard working football player that will lay it on the line when it counts. He has many supporters, but none as enthusiastic as This Guy.

A lot of speculation about Quinn going to the Lions or the Browns, but even his Agent can't get a good feel for his client. But can you really believe anything anyone is saying at this point.

QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame: On Thursday, Quinn met with Millen and Rod Marinelli. Are the Lions really interested or are they feigning it so other teams try to move up and get the No. 2 pick? -- (DFP-NFL Draft)

Patrick Willis runs a 4.37 40-yard dash. I know this is not ND related, but anytime a guy 6' 2" and 240+ pounds runs a time like that, it is worth mentioning.

Brady Quinns March 22 Pro-Day

Mar. 22, 2007 - 7:16 p.m. ET


Brady Quinn ran forties of 4.82 and 4.73 at his second Pro Day.

Source: nfl.com

On March 22, Quinn weighed in 233 pounds. He ran indoors on FieldTurf. He ran his 40s faster than expected (4.82 and 4.73). He also ran the short shuttle in 4.22 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.79 (with tiny cones, not tall ones). In addition, he had a 36-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-7 broad jump.

Quinn's 20 yard shuttle of 4.22 is .36 seconds faster than Marshawn Lynch at the Combine. We have a hard time seeing Quinn fall out of the top three.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Where will Brady Quinn end up after all?

Quinn to Houston? -- (SAEN)


From New York Daily News...Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn is all over the board for the April 28 draft. The Raiders are expected to take LSU QB JaMarcus Russell with the first pick. The Lions, at No. 2, won't take a quarterback in the first round until they get over the trauma of the Joey Harrington experience, which will be in 10-20 years. If the Lions take Wisconsin OT Joe Thomas and don't trade down to a team that wants Quinn, then the first potential landing spot for Quinn, an Ohio product, is Cleveland at No. 3. But the Browns are leaning toward Oklahoma RB Adrian Peterson even though last week they signed just Jamal Lewis, who is just about used up. It's a one-year deal. The Vikings (7th), Texans (8th) and Dolphins (9th) could each try to move up for Quinn or hope he falls to them. The Texans are ready to move Carr.

Brady Quinn Draft Status

Brady Quinn has been projected to go anywhere from the first pick to somewhere at number 10-14. His workout yesterday solidified his spot as a hard worker, great competitor and an excellent quarterback. Scouts, coaches and even owners were in South Bend to watch him workout on Sunday. He will do the physical portion of the workout later in the month. This will allow his injured knee to heal a bit more.

As far as where Brady will go in the draft, It's all up to who you read and what city they are from. Right now the Texans are showing a lot of interest in possibly moving up the board to secure the Franchise QB. Whether the Texans can work out a deal with Cleveland, Oakland or Detroit, Quinn will go in the first 4 picks in April. Nobody in their right mind (assuming owners and managers are of that state) will pass on a 6 foot 5 inch, two hundred and thirty plus pound QB from The University of Notre Dame.

And for Jamarcus Russell going to Oakland with the first pick of the draft, I hope it's true, but can't see it. Other than being big and strong, Russell has shown less than any other QB in this draft. He has only started 20+ games and was picked by the media "AFTER" the Sugar Bowl game. A game where he tore up the 80+ ranked pass defense in the nation. If that is a good barometer to warrant a first pick, by all means, jump on it. Oakland, you are on the clock.

The Vikings weren't the only team with a big delegation -- including owner Zygi Wilf -- at the workout of Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn in South Bend, Ind., on Sunday. The Browns had an equally large group there, including their owner. The Browns draft third, four spots ahead of the Vikings. Houston, which drafts eighth, has talked to teams about moving up so it can draft Quinn, who did a good job of selling himself on Sunday. -- (ST)

The Florida Gators became the first Southeastern Conference team to win six in a row against the Wildcats. Only Notre Dame has won seven straight against the storied program. -- (SAR)
