So where'd all the Brady Quinn haters go..? You know, all the people that said his holdout would devastate his rookie year and make him completely unable to play..? Where those people at..? And why aren't they criticizins Russell right now..? Oh yeah, that's right... JaMarcus went to LSU so his holdout is just good business and smart maneuvering...

QuiGon -
I didn't get to watch Quinn play, but I heard he did well. Did you get to watch? How good was the "well" the media reported? Does he stand a chance of beating out Anderson or Frye to start the season?

I heard he did it against a prevent D, even still that impresses me. But lets face it.

#1 people hated ND. I just became the year before Weis came aboard (Mostly due to my Irish heritage/catholic background, altho I like FSU as well) I couldn't tell you why. I realize people hate ND cuz of the past but cmon', it's about to be 20 years since their last big title I believe. Let go people.

#2 with people hating ND, they hate those who come from it. I don't care what people think, Quin played in a pro style offense. He obviously executed it well. He played against elite competition WITHOUT elite help. This is why he "cant beat good teams" So there goes that knock on him. Quin will be fine, and hopefully he'll make his haters eat crow.

It was against guys who aren't likely to be on a 53 man rosters but probably bumped him up to play with and against 1st teamers next week. I don't have anything against the kid.

As I said in the other thread, 3rd team guys is one thing but the Lions were up 23-6 with 6 or so minutes left. Prevent, dump offs, giving up the easy over the middle pass to melt the clock. It was less than meaningless.

It is preseason. Means nothing.

QuiGon

I only saw the highlights, but his numbers were pretty impressive - 13 for 20, 155 yds, 2 TDs. The conventional wisdom right now is he doesn't have much chance to start week 1, but it is entirely possible (if not probable) that he is starting by midseason.

QuiGon

Interesting comment... when he wasn't at training camp, he was ruining his entire rookie season... but now that he's in and played well, all of a sudden it "means nothing"... hmmmmmmm....

BelichickFan

The "numbers" were better as 3 or 4 INC were spikes to stop the clock. But it wasn't real game, it was massive, soft prevent.

It actually hurts Romeo - now people will be all over him if he starts Frye.

He still rubs me the wrong way. It has nothing to do with his on-field performance.
