Davis is looking to make a big splash and get the frachise turned around before his chat with St. Pete. Brady Quinn is all but wearing a Silver and Black jersey in my opinion. Oakland hasn't had a respectible QB since Gannon folded in '02 and Davis recognizes that next to a legit head coach, the most important acquisition he can make is at QB.

Now I'm not saying the Raider's SHOULD pick Quinn, as I happen to believe he is vastly overrated, but QB is the bigger need than WR plus Davis likes marquee names with draft picks.

I see JaMarcus Russell going to Oakland. But TB might go for a QB too. I would not rule that out by any means.

Russell will be a pretty solid NFL QB...but anyone arguing that hes a better NFL prospect than Brady Quinn needs to get their credentials checked.

It's like arguing that Byron Leftwich is a better QB than Carson Palmer.

Not saying that Oakland won't make that mistake.

Mabye Ill be wrong, but Im going to go on record right now in saying that Brady Quinn will be an average NFL QB, at best. He isnt any good against good defenses, at the college level. Heres the difference IMO opinion between Quinn and other QBS, since he played under Weiss, hes already reached a lot of his potential, and the last few games of the year he did little to impress me.

Your prediction will definitely hold true if he winds up in Oakland. In fact, as a Raider, it could be a struggle getting to 'average'.

Oaklands offense is downright awful, but it could be a good situation for a young QB. That defense was downright nasty this season and appears to be getting better. As far as getting wins goes, a QB wouldn't have to come in and play lights out, just better than Aaron Brooks or Andrew Walter.

He carved up USC's D last season with a much better team around him. This year Notre Dame had pass protection issues, and consequently any time they played a team with a good pass rush, Quinn got knocked around.

Looking at college production is useless unless you consider the entire body of work. He's put up nasty stats the last two seasons playing a pretty hard schedule in an NFL style offense. He's got the expierence; he was a 4 year starter, and Weis says his tools remind him of Tom Brady...

I couldn't agree with you more. What is Quinn's signature game. A loss against USC? I will be shocked if he ever dons a probowl jersey.
