Re: Is Brady Quinn Being Selfish By Holding Out?

Let's just call him Jake Plummer Like in my book.
So you were saying that he reminds you of Jake Plummer, not that he will actually play like Jake Plummer?

Brady Quinn is a much better QB prospect than Plummer was though. Plummer wasn't a bad prospect, but he was below average.

I don't know too many QBs who can consistently guide an inferior team to victory. Your boy Tom Brady couldn't, Carson Palmer didn't, Vince Young did but only in college when he was athletically superior to everyone on the field. Peyton Manning...maybe, but even he couldn't consistently beat a superior team.

If you apply the same standard you are putting on Quinn to every prospective NFL QB, that he has to beat superior teams, I don't think you'd find a good one. Seemingly you not only have unrealistic expectations for Quinn, but a lot of other QBs, assuming no bias.

But I guess thats just my opinion of the situation.
