When Russell and Quinn work out at their respective pro-Days, it will be Quinn who shines bright. Russell has shown that it only takes 7 weeks to become fat and lazy, while Quinn shows that it takes 365 days and 24/7 to stay in top physical shape.
It's hip to be wrong about Quinn's NFL future -- (SBT)
Quinn lifting his way to the top -- (SBT)
This is exactly what I wrote earlier this week. Russell has only started 29 games and is known for his "Momentary Lapse in Reasoning" issues.
He comes into the Combine at 260+ and looks like he has a tire around his waist. He doesn't perform any testing other than Height and Weight, same as Quinn, but Quinn is ridiculed and pestered.
Brady Quinn comes to the camp in the best shape of most players out there. He performs the Bench Press part of the combine and now holds the QB record at 24 reps with 225 pounds.
Quinn, Like Russell will perform at their schools pro days in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see the sides the Media takes in the hype of Russell. Will they follow suit and continue to bash Quinn and relay to the masses that his "stock" is falling, or will they turn it on Russell?
I foresee a continuation of the Quinn bashing with Russell being the one that actually is falling of the face of the First Round. This being said before Wonderlic Scores are released.
My word to the media is this. Continue what you do, because it will make Brady Quinns stock rise. Owners and General Managers are all on the same page. And that page is written in South Bend.
Brady Quinn, Victor Abiamiri, Derek Landri, Darius Walker, Jeff Samardzija (invite revoked, signed a baseball contract), Rhema McKnight, Ryan Harris, Dan Santucci, Tom Zbikowski (Invite revoked, has applied for a 5th season at Notre Dame).
